So in this episode, I'm sharing my top 10 lessons and tips on how to take creative online courses (so that you actually learn something!). Have a listen!

STOP Creating Only When You "Feel" Like It - #153
Saison 1 · Épisode 153
lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 38:23
This episode is a heart-to-heart about creative burnout and showing up for your creativity even on the days when you’d rather do anything else. I’m sharing the epiphany I had while making my bed (yes… really), what Michael Jordan and Stephen King taught me about discipline, and why I’m done letting my mood decide whether I create. If you’re rebuilding your spark, feeling stuck, or searching for permission to start again — listen in.

How to Get Almost ANYTHING Done in 5 Minutes - #144
Saison 1 · Épisode 144
lundi 20 mai 2024 • Durée 23:26
It's hard to believe, but you can get almost anything done if you focus on it for 5 minutes at a time. I've been using this strategy this week to knock out some of my most stressful "MUST DOs" that I have been ignoring. But I'm finding that by setting a time for 5 minutes at a time, and "habit stacking" the chore with something that I am already doing, I've been able to make a ton of progress--all in 5 minutes increments! Listen to see how you can use this strategy to knock out your "To Do" list! Want to share your thoughts on this episode? Email me serena@ thriftdiving.com or on Instagram @ThriftDiving.

Why Is It So Hard to Get Straight Cuts Using the Jigsaw and Circular Saw? - #50
Saison 1 · Épisode 50
samedi 22 janvier 2022 • Durée 50:27
When working with power tools and wood, the number one most important thing is to get a straight cut. (Of course, the next most important thing is that your cut is actually cut to the proper length!). Without a straight cut, you're spending more time, more money replacing materials you screwed up, and overall, simply getting frustrated that it's not working out well for you. That is not going to inspire you to keep going in your woodworking journey!
You might be someone with a little experience with power tools, such as a jigsaw and a circular saw, or you might be a complete newbie. I think this post will have some solutions for both of you, regardless of your level of experience.

Recently I shared some details on Facebook Reels about my electrical wiring project in my "she shed," only to be trolled by electricians and wanna-be electricians telling me that I did it all wrong, violated code, and am going to burn my shed down. Here how it went down and what I learned from this experience.
