Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on September 6, 2017July 22, 2020

I did it guys. 31 Days. 1 Paycheck. $10.32/Day. In New York City. Wow, my first 1 Paycheck Challenge was pretty stressful! I lived on a budget of $10.32/Day, strictly on cash so I can keep accurate tabs on what I was spending and what I had left for the month. To recap, I started …

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Why I’m Taking a Chemo Drug
Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on August 25, 2017February 13, 2023

Three weeks ago, I took my first dose of Methtrexate (MTX), a chemotherapy agent, and an immuno-suppresant drug, after months of persistent, debilitating chronic pain.  It had begun in my foot early spring.  By the time I started the drug, the pain had spread to my shoulder, elbow, multiple fingers, hips, and jaw. In beginning of …

Minimalism Journey: Decluttering
Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on August 7, 2017July 25, 2020

July was the month when I finally kick-started the “Minimalism Journey” I had been intending for months.  Over the past few months, I have started to accumulate a list of “Decluttering To-Do’s,” but as with most of my cleaning-based tasks, nothing really got done, and the mess just kept on expanding. Last month, I finally …

1 Minute Rule
Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on July 5, 2017July 22, 2020

I’ve just implemented the “1 Minute Rule” in my life, inspired by Gretchen Rubin’s own “One Minute Rule.”  What exactly is the “1 Minute Rule“? What it calls for is very simple: If there’s anything you can do within one minute, just do it now. It’s quite phenomenal what “mundane small tasks” we manage to …

Organizing with Brain Injury
Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on August 28, 2016July 22, 2020

I used to be that student who started an assignment at 12AM the night before it was due, finished it at some wee hour of dawn, and submitted it to more or less make an A. Once my brain was snipped at and poked around a bit, that part of me was no more. I …

Why I Run
Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on April 20, 2016July 22, 2020

I have never been a “natural athlete.” I have never had talents for the athletics, and I trip over air periodically.  Knowing this (I guess I was always a slow slothy child), my parents put me through vigorous athletic childhood.  I swam for 10 years (2 to 12 years old), and played tennis for almost …
