It's an advice blog post, people, you might be surprised to find advice here! I was just thinking, this is also perfect advice for people who are about to have a baby. I know, you have to buy and launder and fold all those adorable little clothes, but you so, <em>so</em> have to clean up your to-do list, cut through clutter, have lunch with friends, and start thinking about who you are and what kind of parent/person you want to be (that will almost certainly change as your children grow, but at least you'll have started thinking about it). The routine thing, well that will depend on the little monster, but at least you should get lots of sleep while you still can. Wow, your commenters are testy!

That is how you propose one recharges? And you give that as the consolation prize to Paris because there isn't enough time to plan? Are you mad? I can see the value of doing all of those things, of choosing to do them because it feels good to be productive. But to be *handed* the list like a homework assignment, just reeks of "Here, you unproductive, good for nothing. Prove your worth by accomplishing these things." Holy cow, aren't you bossy?
