Struggles with postponing sleep due to a cluttered living space and decorating dilemmas at night
Courtney Carver's Weekend Favorites: A Blend of Lifestyle Tips, Books, Music, and More
It's another weekend, and Courtney Carver, the renowned author and minimalist lifestyle advocate, is sharing her Weekend Favorites to help readers live simply and well. This week, she celebrates the 3rd Anniversary of her second book, Project 333, in March 2023. To mark the occasion, anyone who purchases or leaves a review for Project 333 in March will receive signed bookplates.
In her Weekend Favorites editions, Courtney offers a mix of lifestyle tips, book recommendations, music playlists, and practical advice. The topics range from reducing stress and calming your life, minimalist living advice, cutting screen time, improving sleep, to making friends and hanging out with people who make you laugh.
This week, she shares three decluttering tips to help get started, a guide on how to recover when overwhelmed with mess, and a suggestion on what to do when a family member won't change their toxic behavior. She also recommends ten-minute micro-dates for better relationships and suggests using Fridays to set oneself up for success.
Courtney is currently working on a new book, but details are yet to be shared. She has recently read and is excited about two new books, Microjoys by Cyndie Spiegel and Needy by Mara Glatzel, both of which she highly recommends.
In addition, she mentions a new series, a home decor addition, and a LIVE Q&A call scheduled next week for Soul & Wit Patreon members. A love letter to libraries, an article discussing the concept of "Revenge Bedtime Procrastination," and a suggestion to stop telling each other how busy we are are some of the other topics she has covered recently.
Lastly, she shares an Instagram favourite from @itsbananacrush, reminding everyone to check in and pull back if needed. Courtney's Weekend Favorites can be received in one's inbox almost every Saturday by signing up. For more updates and insights, follow Courtney Carver on her platforms.
