Facing Tough Choices
When I was in junior high my best friend and I developed this little system to make choices a bit simpler.

Eventually this evolved into an even easier system that took even less materials and preparation–Pick a Hand. It went like this: First narrow down your options into two. Select one person to be

Get Down To It
I don't know about other people, but it is a particular challenge for me to continue with something.
