Journaling

Are you keeping a journal of what you are experiencing during this time? IF not you should be! are you planning your garden for this year? You need to be! This is both therapeutic and practical. Your kids and grand-kids in years to come will benefit from this. While you are at it keep track of what you use daily, along with what you have learned and still need to learn. What insights have you gotten from this experience?

1. What supply did you overlook and realized you either needed it or didn’t have enough of it?

2. What have you been running out of? Keep track of how long it takes to use up something consumable like toilet paper or laundry soap, and then begin stocking up accordingly with a 3-month supply in mind to START. Top off your reserves every other week and rotate everything. [This gives you a 2,5 month buffer in case you decide it is best to stay in for a month or so…. Kinda like driving on the top 1/4 of your gas tank.] Aiming for a year or so supply.

3. If you’re able to go to the grocery store, what is typically on your list of things to buy? This can give you insights into what you might want to stock up on for the future.

4. What do you realize you need to learn if this quarantine continues for weeks/months or something like this happens again? Many people discovered stores were running out of milk, eggs, yeast, sugar and flour.

May want to get chickens this year too…review the news the last few months about food & last year with the late spring and early fall- grain harvest was down 40% reportedly. I have have been watching this channel for a long time now…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0tivnr2GS0&fbclid=IwAR2de1U_dYn4m0hnpiCFaVrnC5lWANtv1z20w5im4ssU7dea7C-_MMMUmxs
