    3 Effective Ways To MANAGE YOUR TIME As A Homemaker |DEVOTEE LIFESTYLE

    As a (devotee) homemaker, we have many responsibilities. Along with household services and caring for our family, we need to ensure that our Bhakti sadhana is fulfilled meticulously. To accomplish everything you need to master skills and manage your time effectively.

    At the beginning of my devotee life, I couldn’t manage everything well.

    Some days I was all occupied with my household duties and my Sadhana was put aside. Other times my sadhana went well, but the housework lingered.

    I learned a lot from senior (Vaishnav) devotee homemakers on YouTube.

    I admire their hard work and dedication in managing home and sadhana so efficiently.

    Some challenges didn’t allow me to achieve everything. Analysing my time thoroughly I observed there were many silent time wasters.

    Today I’m specifying 3 major productivity-killing activities that occupy a larger part of your life.

    3 EFFECTIVE WAYS TO MANAGE YOUR TIME AS A HOMEMAKER

    Manage Your Time #1 Get off your phone/devices:

    The very first step to managing your time has to be ditching your phone/TV etc.

    Mobile phones have become a central aspect of our life. It’s easier to lose ourselves in endless connectivity.

    In the present era, there’s no big housebreaker like your screen time.

    Being a devotee, watching materialistic things is restricted. Still, even the Bhakti-related notifications/comments/topics can make us wander from the important task at hand at that very moment.

    We pause to check 1 or 2 notifications and before we know it hours pass.

    There are few things you can change for good. Since phone usage can impede concentration (destructive for our Bhakti).

    You can customize or turn off notifications from unwanted shopping apps, social media apps, etc

    You can remove pointless apps (which you haven’t opened in months) from your phone.

    Use your phone for Bhakti-related activities only. Set a time limit.

    See your phone after fulfilling your duties — Mangal Arati, bhog offering, Shringar sewa, Shayan sewa, cleaning sewa, family sewa, and all.

    You can use your phone during your breaks but make sure you return to service shortly after.

    Never forget, being a devotee, dependency on any materialistic thing isn’t advisable.

    Manage Your Time #2 Bucket System:

    Don’t let the clock dictate your life. Instead, have a bucket system.

    I don’t know what the world means by the bucket system of productivity.

    For me, it’s plain, simple, and efficient.

    My idea of a bucket system?

    I have 4 buckets (lists) for all the tasks that I carry out in a day.

    In other words, 4 categories/fields of tasks.

    For instance,

    • 1st bucket includes Bhakti Sadhana-related where I have grouped all the crucial sadhana activities (chanting, reading, hearing, Mangla, etc)
    • 2nd bucket is all about housework. All the daily/weekly cleaning duties and other important home-related sewa are listed here
    • 3rd bucket is family-related sewa (Individual care, festivities/occasions, outings (Dham visits, etc)
    • 4th bucket is self-related (exercise/grooming/haircare routine etc)

    My day-to-day routine consists of activities from all of these buckets.

    With this sort of bucket system, sorting or prioritizing the most important tasks for the day has become a breeze for me.

    16 INCREDIBLE TIME-SAVING TIPS FOR HOMEMAKERS

    Manage Your Time #3 Prioritize:

    Having a schedule is a must to increase your productivity and get things done.

    After categorizing tasks in different buckets, your list may seem overwhelming.

    So you must prioritize your duties as per their worth/significance.

    With buckets, writing a to-do list would just be a matter of minutes. Since you have a list ahead of you.

    Try to keep the to-do list short.

    Embrace the power of three.

    Meaning, picking only 3 tasks from each bucket. So that the list is brief. As fewer tasks are usually manageable.

    Bonus Tip:

    Organize your space once every week so that you can operate easily.

    Maintain a Work-life balance. Work efficiently while you’re working. Choose quality over quantity.

  • How To Create A Laundry System That Works

    How To Create A Laundry System That Works

    Drowning in the laundry? Does the laundry mountain keep growing despite the implementation of a good few hacks? There’s a big chance of you using a laundry system that isn’t working for you.

    Miss a day or two of doing the laundry and you have the washer jam-packed with this monstrous pile of washing; some more overflowing the hamper. Plus, clean laundry is all over the place.

    Where did you get that? You wonder.

    All of that is a great sign of a terribly managed laundry system.

    We’ve hundreds of different views about the laundry system. Everyone has their unique solution.

    Our family size, occupation, execution of the system, and amount of assistance all play a part in the effectiveness of our laundry system. Now, how do you find a better method?

    A laundry routine consists of – washing, drying, and PUTTING AWAY clothes. Failure to attain even one of these can cause the entire process to crumble.

    Not only that but looking at the big picture, the entire functioning of your house could be affected simply by failing to do the laundry.

    How To Create A Laundry System That Works For You

    Today let’s take on this major chore and figure out how to create a laundry system that really works for you.

    HOW TO CREATE A LAUNDRY SYSTEM THAT WORKS FOR YOU

    Establish a sorting system:

    Have a basket assigned to each one of your family members. Kids should have their own laundry basket too. They should be encouraged to sort and put their dirty washing in their designated basket.

    Play around with colors, and numbers as you have them sort their clothes.

    Another way is having baskets with labels for sorting clothes by muddiness, color, fabric, usage, weight – heavier/lighter fabric, etc. Like one basket for whites and another for dark clothes.

    Set up everything beforehand:

    Sort the clothes. Pretreat the whites or stained clothes.

    Soak denim/sheets/linens in warm water with a little detergent the previous night.

    Load washer.

    This will help you set the pace. 

    Daily or weekly routine

    Some people prefer daily, others weekly.

    Instead of arguing about the correct way, let’s find a balance between the two.

    I do laundry every single day.

    I recommend no less than twice weekly.

    • Home wear, underclothes, towels, and sheets/bedcovering on weekdays as they don’t need much care.
    • Office wear/delicate clothing (that needs special handling) on weekends.

    Feel free to wash linens/sheets and towels with your regular clothing. If you wash them regularly, they don’t need presoaking/pretreating.

    That way, you won’t have to wait until the weekend for a fresh pair of underwear.

    And unnecessarily worry about the massive load of laundry on the weekend.

    Additionally, if that moderates even one load of washing and putting away, if not more, you can utilize that time to complete ironing on the same day (weekend).

    Your laundry routine will also depend on the size of your family. A large family must do at least one load daily to prevent a mountain of laundry.

    Read: How To Get Motivated To Clean

    Consider the size of the load:

    The user manual states the capacity of your washing machine. It can help you determine the size/weight of your wash load.

    Follow the instructions carefully to optimize the results.

    A big wash load will prevent the flow of the wash cycle. Clothes won’t come out as clean as intended.

    A smaller load will cost you more referring to — soap, hot water, and electric power usage.

    Moderateness is the key.

    Line dry:

    Line drying will save the dryer time.

    A big pile can easily be hung in one go.

    When the weather doesn’t permit hanging clothes outside, these racks seem practical and cost-efficient.

    put away the clean clothes immediately:

    I know the likelihood of assuming I’ll fold all the clothes (together) at the end.

    But folding all 6-7 loads jointly will make it more challenging.

    And if you only want to get it done altogether in the end, you can have your kids fold with you.

    Another basket for clean clothes:

    Don’t have time to put away clean clothes?

    It is understood. Things get in the way.

    Keep a separate basket to fold & put the clean laundry as you take them off.

    Rather than throwing clean laundry on a chair (which your kids might scatter sooner or later), fold and stack it nicely in a basket so that it’s easier for you to arrange later.

    Another useful idea is to keep a small container around the washer to collect small objects pulled from the pockets before putting clothes into the washer.

    Iron only if necessary:

    One of my high school friends used to iron her underwear too.

    I mean, really?

    The point is, depending on the texture, usage, and occasion see if ironing is required.

    If it’s truly necessary do not hesitate to reschedule it for a Monday evening.

    Final words:

    This simplest laundry system has helped me tame the laundry monster and reduce chaos. It makes me feel in control of things.

  • One Simple Trick That’ll Transform Your Homemaking

    One Simple Trick That’ll Transform Your Homemaking

    You know the drill of a hectic life. Kids, chores, meals, guests, and making ends meet can leave you tired to the bones. However, there’s one simple trick that’ll transform your homemaking.

    Most often, simple tricks add greater value to life. Yet we continue to remain unmindful of such extremely effective strategies. This misconduct keeps us from taking the lead in keeping our home.

    How frequently do you recheck if the window glass is squeaky clean, wonder if you’ve disinfected the surfaces perfectly, whether the toiletries are lined up in symmetry, and the supreme one — check the nasty smell of your dish scrubber?

    I know this is just beginner-level nitpicking. Some people are real perfectionists. How about in case of time constraints? No exit without burning out yourself in the process.

    One Simple Trick That'll Transform Your Homekeeping

    Do you really think these minute details matter at all in your daily life? With having someone over, these minutiae are appreciated. But how does that matter in the frantic life?

    How can your house get so messy with the same people (your own family) living there? What is going to cause so much impurity/contamination?

    Is it indeed a perfectionist, a false mindset, or a cleaning obsession?

    ONE SIMPLE TRICK THAT’LL TRANSFORM YOUR HOMEMAKING

    Want to know, what’s that one simple trick that’ll transform your homemaking?

    AIMING FOR PROGRESS – NOT PERFECTION.

    Ever observed how overpowering the strife for perfection is?

    Perfectionism is paralyzing.

    It impairs decision-making and preludes swing into action. Perfectionism can make you procrastinate.

    One Simple Trick That'll Transform Your Homekeeping

    You always want to wait for that perfect time, perfect tools, and perfect skills to get even your basic things done.

    We always have this preconceived idea about doing things. Usually, this preconception is idealistic. This makes a super simple task a MARATHON and yourself a professional procrastinator.

    [click_to_tweet tweet=”Perfection is an illusion based on our own perception . . . – about.com” quote=” Perfection is an illusion based on our own perception . . . – about.com”]

    There’s no such thing as entirely clean or perfect – most probably you’re misled by your mind. It happens to all of us.

    To become an efficient homemaker, you must get past that ‘all or nothing’ attitude.

    Only then you can stay on top of homemaking. Such is the case in other matters of life, homemaking more importantly.

    Homemaking is about savoring the moments as you move through the steady rhythm of your housework and not rushing into the chores.

    In truth, even seasoned homemakers find home-keeping a drudgery at some point in their lives. We all have been there and know it’s a matter of fact.

    But rather play the blame game why not figure some better way out?

    How better than setting yourself reasonable standards.

    Focusing on being good enough – not a perfectionist.

    You want your home to function effectively to thrive in other areas of life. It’s possible when you know how to strike a balance between home and life.

    Being a homemaker doesn’t mean you should immerse yourself in housework night and day. Nope, you have a life apart from that.

    How can you apply this one trick in various spheres of home-keeping?

    1| Take action straight away:

    The perfect occasion will come when pigs fly. Make headway with your work; one step at a time.

    If you see something misplaced return it back forthwith. Don’t make an excuse that you’ll be back later. You hardly will. Do it that very moment.

    2| Simplify things:

    Break up the chores or bigger cleaning, decluttering, or organizing projects into bite-size chunks.

    For instance, to make the bathroom cleaning task easier – split the steps into daily and deep cleaning routines.

    So on a deep cleaning routine, you can overlook the areas that you clean every day and focus more only on what isn’t cleaned regularly.

    Make the chores the simplest possible and you’ll undoubtedly enjoy them, I promise.

    3|  Set realistic standards:

    Evaluate what is truly important.

    One good example: to plan your meals you don’t necessarily need the fancy stuff you saw in that YouTube video, every time you meal plan.

    You can use a simple pen and paper, a mobile app, or simply text messaging to make a list in a great hurry.

    [click_to_tweet tweet=”The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy. The pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic, and a terrible waste of time.’ – Edwin Bliss” quote=”‘ The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy. The pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic, and a terrible waste of time.’ – Edwin Bliss”]

    4| Just do it:

    Getting started is a huge obstacle, most frequently.

    Once you get started you’ll want to keep going as you accomplish the tasks.

    But to get started, you might want to trick yourself into doing it only for a few minutes.

    I do this when I have a large stack of dishes in the sink. I trick myself to wash the dishes for no more than 10 minutes. And as I go for it I already have accomplished so much in those 10 minutes that I want to keep going until the end.

    [click_to_tweet tweet=”Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect! – Aryn Kyle” quote=” Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect! – Aryn Kyle”]

    5| Focus on progress only:

    If still, nothing motivates you to get the chores done remember you’re accountable for certain duties as a homemaker. You have to do them no matter what.

    For that focus on progress only. Do not bother if you’re shining your house by making some special cleaners or following precise techniques. Strive to just be good enough with your housework. And eventually, you’ll get there.

    Final words:

    I assure you this one trick — aiming for progress – not perfection will help you transform your homemaking.

  • 11 Qualities Of A Successful Homemaker

    11 Qualities Of A Successful Homemaker

    Want to learn the qualities of a successful homemaker? Then this post is for you.

    We devote a slew of time, work, and thoughtfulness to homemaking because we wish to be successful homemakers.

    We want to put good food on the table, bring order to our home, and make our home a happy and relaxing place. In short, we want homemaking success.

    How do we get there?

    Success in homemaking is achieved when you’re in control of/on top of things. When you’re happy and content with the efficient functioning of your home. Everything is hassle-free. Just the way you want it to be. Each night you go to bed gratified. Kids are happy! Hubby is happy! You’re happy!

    11 Qualities Of A Successful Homemaker

    11 QUALITIES OF A SUCCESSFUL HOMEMAKER

    1| Be content:

    with what you have.

    Be thankful for the home and family you have. Being content in life is the key to happiness. You succeed when you’re happy with what you do.

    Perhaps you’re in the process of buying a new house (your dream home). And the current house isn’t your favorite one or is thick with inconveniences. That shouldn’t make life in that house less enjoyable.

    In fact, a successful homemaker can bring order to chaos, in any situation. Poor or wealthy.

    Focusing on the positives is the key.

    A life worth enjoying doesn’t always need to be Instagram-worthy, always. It can be enjoyed in a small house, with simple food and bare belongings.

    As long as you’re truly content with whatever little you have, you’re wealthy.

    True memories are made in messier homes within happy families and not perfect pictures shared on social media.

    2| Be patient:

    Remember success comes to those who don’t give up.

    Homemaking is no cakewalk. It is all about hard work and effort.

    Patience can only get you there.

    There will be ups and downs.

    There will be times when you feel it is of no value.

    Be patient in those times. Let that time go away. That time will pass over. And you’ll be glad you never gave up.

    3| Consistency is the key:

    As stated previously, not every day is the same.

    There will be highs and lows. Some days you’ll be more productive, other days not.

    Being consistent is essential.

    Many times you have to show up come what may.

    Inconsistency can hinder your growth.

    The housework may bulk up if you don’t tend to it now.

    4| Be willing to learn:

    One of the finest traits of successful homemakers is their willingness to learn.

    Homemaking is a learned skill.

    You get better at it with practice.

    Before you put the skills into practice, you’ve got to observe, learn, experiment, and get it right through trial and error.

    However, before that, you should be a better observer and a learner.

    5| Be good with routines and systems:

    Sometimes, life gets hard.

    You have everything flowing smoothly. You’re keeping up with everything so well and a sudden illness hits or a short trip queue up. Your home management gets out of hand. Things start piling up and go disorganized.

    That’s when having consistent routines and systems comes in handy.

    You can get back to your habituated routines in a flash.

    6| Be a giver:

    I remember a couple of Buddha Quotes here

    If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.

    Before giving, the mind of a giver is happy; while giving the mind of a giver is made peaceful; and having given the mind of a giver is uplifted.

    If homemaking is your purpose in life, I would say, put your heart and soul into it.

    Related:

    7| Expect less:

    Hope forthe least in return.

    Some people think homemaking is slavery.

    We don’t get anything in return for our hard work.

    That’s quite not true.

    Homemaking is rewarding in itself.

    Everything owned by Mother Nature is there to serve others.

    Nothing in our natural habitat is self-seeking.

    We are here to give.

    Our grandmas’ were selfless homemakers.

    They never received anything in return too.

    In fact, they didn’t have trendy appliances and comforts like today.

    They still achieved everything devoutly – without any expectations.

    Want to know why? Because they loved us (their families) unconditionally.

    To this day, they’re remembered for their selfless act. Their eternal love.

    They’re adored for their hard work.

    8| Practice self-care:

    As a homemaker, you must know where to draw the line.

    As I always say homemaking is a never-ending job. You must realize that you’re a human, first.

    You can’t pour from an empty vessel.

    Maintaining balance is crucial.

    So, my lovelies, always remember to fill your cup first.

    9| Celebrate success:

    Whenever your kids praise the delicious meal. Believe. It is your achievement.

    When your husband says something good about the — decor piece you bought recently, your appearance, or the food you made,  embrace it.

    When a visitor says — you have such an organized home. Welcome their words.

    These are your small wins.

    These words will lift up your spirits.

    You will want to give back more in return to your family, and to your home. Only when you accept their kind regards.

    10| Love your job:

    Now that you’ve decided to wear a homemaker hat, accept it, unconditionally. And, why not, when you’re doing it for your family and loved ones.

    Homemaking will be no hardship when you love and appreciate your job.

    11| Be joyful:

    Finally and above all, be joyful all the time.

    Whether your home is clean, dishes are done, food is ready, or whatever, meet everything with a smile.

    You’re likely to find better solutions when you’re in a relaxed and happy state of mind.

    Final words:

    Those were the qualities of a successful homemaker.

    Being a successful homemaker like any other business requires great work, patience, skills, time, care, and nurturing. It is a generous job of serving your family and people who walk in through the door. Where you grow rich by giving wholeheartedly.

    Be sure to share your qualities of a successful homemaker. Thank you so much for reading. Happy Homemaking!

  • 5 Ways To Make Your Home A Haven

    5 Ways To Make Your Home A Haven

    A home, unlike the rest of the world, should be a warm, welcoming, and comfortable place to be.

    A place where you can’t wait to retire after a busy day. A spot where, in contrast to workplace politics, toxicity, and sarcasm, someone awaits your arrival with a warm meal. Your own personal place where everything smells like you, seems like you, feels like you, sounds like you. Like your very own. Unique and special!

    Irrespective of the level we criticize and take for granted, our home never ceases to shelter us in this wicked world. Did you ever happen to spend a day outside in an unfamiliar place? Or been in a situation when you were stuck at the airport or the train station platform the entire day/night?

    At that very moment, you realize the significance of the home. The home that we make a fuss over. I have had such awful moments for quite a time, so I know it.

    5 Ways To Make Your Home A Haven

    What makes the home a comfortable place to be?

    This article is inspired by the book Mrs. Dunwoody’s Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping. In this book, the author Miriam Lukken has explained The Art of Homekeeping by considering the five senses – sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. So today, let’s dive deeper to see how we can make our home a haven.

    A haven for our family, for God, and for the visitors – by working on these 5 important elements of our home.

    5 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME A HAVEN

    Sight:

    According to the author, colors have a grand impact on our nerves and psychology. Thus, they need to be considered carefully. Different colors have different effects. Bold colors affect the mood strongly, whereas cool/pastel tones are soothing to the mind.

    Rethink how you prefer each room. Understand the purpose of each room.

    Do you like a simplistic look with bare essentials or a flashy design with an enthralling mix of books, relics, couture, etc.?

    Smell:

    The sense of smell is strongly connected to memory. Whether it’s an appetizing dish from childhood or the fresh orchards in the garden.

    The smell can be a powerful feature in making our home a haven.

    Observe the smell in the house when you’re home from outdoors.

    Does it smell pleasant or stale/moldy? Make your home smell fresh by taking out the trash regularly.

    What fragrance do you and your family love? The smell of lavender, freshly ground coffee, or simmering lemon zest? Maybe aromatic candles, incense, or essential oils? Whatever choice of aroma you pick for your home, airing out by opening the windows can never go out of style.

    Touch:

    How does your home feel?

    How often do you change sheets, wash curtains, clean rugs, sort mail, and declutter toys? Are there knick-knacks, books, laundry far and wide?

    The cleanliness, luminosity, and comfort of your home can make a huge impact on how cozy you feel.

    Sound:

    How does your day-to-day life sound?

    Loud and noisy, or quiet and peaceful?

    I have seen a lot of families turn their televisions on well ahead of breakfast and shut them down at bedtime. Some people like upbeat music while getting ready for the office.

    At the same time, some people’re more of windchimes, soft piano, and a home bursting into laughter of family and friends.

    Reduce the noise in the room. Play some soothing music or mantras for a peaceful ambiance.

    Taste:

    Do you love to serve your guests a gourmet menu or just simple, nourishing meals?

    Are you a formalist host who wants a perfectly set, color-coded, and well-decorated table with everything from appetizers to drinks to the main course out and out for their guests?

    Or just believe in the idea of quality versus quantity?

    Decide and get ahead of having a guest-ready party plan by jotting down every small detail in a notebook.

    Final Words:

    All of these areas deserve attention as we strive to make our home a haven, a most special place for our loved ones. A home that witnesses composure, beauty, and inventiveness. As author Miriam Lukken says, “Home should be a place where we can grow and thrive, and live and love, to the fullest extent”.

  • 5 Golden Homemaking Rules You Must Follow

    5 Golden Homemaking Rules You Must Follow

    The homemaking rules of different families may look discrete from each other. But knowingly or unknowingly we do follow certain homemaking rules.

    The rules are based on our priorities, terms, and values. Although our home management tasks remain the same (cooking, cleaning, organizing, budgeting), our preferences may differ.

    Example: For some people, money isn’t an issue. So, they pay (outsource) to do the cleaning, cooking, organizing, and decorating for them.

    Whereas others work hard to learn skills to save every possible penny.

    They cook delicious meals on a budget; discover the easiest cleaning and repair hacks to do everything on their own and make their family thrive on a humble budget.

    Whatever your homemaking status is — the basic principles remain the same for everyone. Today, we will review the homemaking rules every homemaker should follow.

    5 Homemaking Rules You Should Follow

    5 GOLDEN HOMEMAKING RULES YOU MUST FOLLOW

    Focus on being productive instead of busy – Tim Ferriss

    Classify your productive and non-productive tasks.

    Busyness in no way means productivity.

    Especially if the accomplished tasks do not get your home functioning well.

    Say, getting dinner on the table before your husband arrives is your main goal but all you did the entire day is decluttered, organized, and decorated your bedroom.

    Imagine, the dread you’d go through when you see him walk in. That’s certainly not a good use of your time.

    Homemaking can be enjoyed when it doesn’t become drudgery.

    This can only happen when you get your most important (non-negotiable) tasks out of the way at the beginning of your day.

    In order to enjoy the remaining time doing more of what you love, peacefully.

    Doesn’t that sound simple and interesting?

    Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. – Albert Einstein

    What is your homemaking purpose?

    To add true value to the lives of your loved ones or just focus on your homemaking success?

    By that, I mean in the same example as above. You think you spent the time productively decluttering and organizing stuff in an attractive way.

    But that may be the last thing your husband wants to notice when he’s freakin starving after a hard day.

    Do you think the decor thing added any value to your life at that point in time? It would have – if it was a relaxing day.

    You get the point.

    A place for everything, everything in its place. – Benjamin Franklin

    Every homemaker should adhere to this substantial rule that’ll save you time, energy, and sanity.

    It is a sign of a well-kept home.

    Nothing affects productivity more adversely than searching for things when you’re racing against time.

    Having this rule will also discipline your kids to be super organized in life.

    Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject – Thomas Mann

    Work simplification and creating some sort of system will allow you to persevere in this long-drawn-out job of homemaking.

    It can’t be the other way around.

    Work simplification defines the breakdown of daily chores into small workable parts and eliminating unnecessary steps to save time, energy, and pressure of completing a task.

    Establishing simple systems and routines will bring you more free time, peace, and harmony to make memories with your loved ones, something we yearn for.

    Wanting less is probably a better blessing than having more – Mary Ellen Edmunds

    The fewer number of clothes means they’ll be used repeatedly – less to clean, less to fold and put away, less to iron, and less to organize.

    Limited utensils – continually used – less to wash and less to put away.

    Minimal furniture – Less to move while cleaning, less to dust and wipe down, less to maintain.

    Bare minimum stuff in the house – less to declutter, less to organize, and less to think about.

    Leaving you with – more peace, more time, and more liveliness.

    Indeed a blessing!

    Final words:

    I live by these rules to simplify and frame my homemaking for an incredibly joyful experience.
