“Toothpicks act as micro plugs to fill gaps and nail holes,” says Kavouklis. “Coat with wood glue, insert into hole, snap off flush with surface, sand down. You can’t see the flaw once it’s stained or painted over.”

Change requires discomfort.
What are you actually avoiding by focusing on complaining? And what’s one small thing you could do instead?

appointments and commitments
As the holidays approach and appointments and commitments begin to pile up, author Caroline Sylge recommends a “say no” retreat — a day dedicated to figuring out which obligations you want to decline in the coming weeks and months. While it may seem unconventional to devote an entire day to saying no, this approach can help create space for what truly matters to you. Sylge shared with Life Kit her suggested schedule for a “say no” retreat:
As soon as you wake up, list things you want to say no to. Identify the obvious tasks you want to avoid.
Take a break, then return to your retreat space and expand your “say no” list. Review requests, appointments, volunteer work and commitments for the coming days, weeks and months. Note the tasks you want to decline, and why.
After another break, review your list and start saying no. Start with a small win, like crossing off a demanding task. Next, focus on the tougher rejections that may involve saying no to someone you care about or work with.

The Journey
Move at your own pace, trust your gut, and pat yourself on the back rather than waiting for applause.
