Dear Lennroe,
I have been living with you for a while. You know I am there, it was you who brought me home after all. I know you had some cool plans with me, like doing cool photos and maybe creating an instagram just for me, but you were too busy to do anything. You moved me a few times from one place to another and gave me something to wear.
Now I decided to take my life in my own hands and let you know, that if you have no plans with me, then I have some plans with you. Or we can have plans together if you accept my challenge.
I have been watching you every day since I moved in and I see that you have been trying really hard in the last few months and weeks to improve your life. You fail and succeed, pretty normal in my opinion. But I really think you could succeed more and fail less. I have heard you saying, that you wish you had a coach or assistant, to remind you, what you have to do, to motivate you, give you feedback and to help you stay focused.
You have not said it has to be a real human. So why not me? I know your habits and lifestyle well, I live here already and cost no money and I am bored anyway. So what do you say?
My offer is, that we are going to exchange letters, as I obviously cannot speak. My letters are going to give you step by step guidance to whatever you decide to achieve, feedback on what you already did and reminders and motivation. Your letters are going to reflect what you have done right and wrong, how you feel about it and how far you have come, since the last letter. You can share anything you want with me. Together we aim for better. Whatever it means to you. To us. More fun, more adventure, less stuff, less bad habits...
To make it more fun and to share our progress I suggest your first step is to make a blog about our journey. You missed blogging anyway, right?
Second step. Please move me somewhere else. I assure you that sitting on a wooden rain deer day and night is no fun. And beside that, I love your dog, I do, but he sometimes smells funny and makes weird noises and it is so dark in here. Please, find some nicer place for me.
Third, please tell me a bit about your progress so far, what you accomplished in the last time and what you struggle with the most, so we can concentrate on that.
Four. Even when you move me, this corner looks terrible, what about tidying it, to do something productive?
Today is Sunday, so I guess, four small steps are enough for the beginning. Let me know you, how you have done and if you want to give my idea a go.
So to make it simple, today goals are:
- Revive your blog and post about us.
- Find a neat spot for me
- Respond to my letter and describe, how far you have gone on your journey until today. Of course only if you want to try it.
- Tidy this part of hallway, your dog sleeps here and you go by every morning and evening, it should look nice.
Sincerely Yours
Lennie the Doll
Wait, did a doll just hand me a letter? Well things like that certainly don't happen every day, so I guess I'm in.
I tried so many strategies and methods so far. If exchanging letters with a doll is going to get me anywhere, great! If not, well then it has at least been fun idea.
I let you know, when anything new happens.
