Darrell and I know a little something about tight squeezes. And that’s why Katie and I are devoting an hour of the program to the importance of having your own space. Maybe it’s just a closet. Maybe it’s a corner of a bedroom. But we, all of us, need a “room” of our own. Even if it’s in an RV, or a cramped studio apartment that houses an entire family in a pandemic. In this edition of Doing What Works, we have a few suggestions that might be as life-changing as they appear at first glance to be trivial.

Memento mori [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori]. Remember you will die. It will help you know how to live. Mitch Albom talks about the concept in Tuesdays with Morrie [https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/571089-every-day-have-a-little-bird-on-your-shoulder-that].
