Where We Keep the Good Scissors
If something happened to you tomorrow, could your partner keep the house running?
Let’s be honest: Nobody wants to write a manual for what happens if they get hit by a bus. But in every home, there is an invisible division of labor. Maybe you are the one who knows when the water bill is due, what the Wi-Fi password is, or exactly how to bypass the weird quirk with the garage door. Maybe your partner holds the keys to the life insurance, the primary email login, and the secret to getting the dog to actually eat his dinner.
If one of you suddenly isn't there to answer the question, "Hey, how do I...?" the other is left totally in the dark. Trying to figure out how to pay the mortgage or unlock a smartphone while handling an emergency is an administrative nightmare no one should have to navigate.
Where We Keep the Good Scissors is your lifeline. It isn't a grim, depressing ledger; it is a pragmatic, no-nonsense "mental load transfer." It is a guided workbook designed to get all the invisible, day-to-day knowledge out of your head and into a safe place so your co-pilot can take over the controls without crashing the plane.
Inside, you and your partner will work together to map out:
- The First 48 Hours: Triage call lists, device passcodes, and emergency cash flow.
- Keeping the Lights On: The master bill matrix, shut-off valve locations, and the trusted service squad.
- The Digital Vault: Master passwords, digital real estate, and hunting down ghost subscriptions.
- The Paper Trail: Life insurance policies, debt landscapes, and the vital records cabinet.
- The Heart of the House: Pet quirks, unwritten family recipes, and finally answering the most fiercely guarded question in any marriage: Where are the good scissors?
BONUS: Purchasing this book includes instant, free access to a digital Google Docs template and a printable PDF version of the worksheets so you can build your household manual exactly how you want.
Don't leave your family flying blind. Download your brain into a safe, secure place, and give the people you love the ultimate gift: peace of mind.
The Tuesday Audit
The Tuesday Audit: A Guide to Reclaiming Your Momentum Stop drifting. Start auditing.
Most of us wait for a crisis to change our lives, or we wait for the "New Year" to reset our goals. But growth isn't found in the grand gestures, it is found in the rhythmic, honest evaluation of our ordinary days.
The Tuesday Audit is not a complex productivity hack or a rigid corporate system. It is a practical framework designed to help you sit down with your own reality once a week and ask the hard questions before the week gets away from you.
By shifting the focus to Tuesday, the often-overlooked anchor of the work week, this book provides you with the tools to:
- Identify "Leaking" Time: Spot the subtle habits that are draining your creative energy.
- Audit Your Intentions: Align your daily actions with your long-term vision.
- Create Sustainable Momentum: Move past the "Monday hype" and into a consistent, "spirited design" for your life.
Whether you are a writer, an entrepreneur, or someone simply tired of the "chaos," this audit is your weekly appointment with progress.
It’s time to stop guessing and start auditing.
I Lose My Shit
Anxiety doesn’t whisper. It narrates. It critiques. It heckles.
In I Lose My Shit, Joshua E. Hershey cracks open the daily, hourly, sometimes minute‑by‑minute experience of living with anxiety — not as a diagnosis, but as a lifelong, uninvited roommate who rearranges the furniture in his brain and critiques his small talk.
Through sharp, poetic vignettes and painfully funny “misfires,” Joshua captures the moments most people never talk about: the email typo that feels like a career-ending event, the grocery aisle that becomes a labyrinth, the mirror that reflects a stranger, the breath that won’t go past the collarbone. Each scene is a snapshot of internal chaos wrapped in humor, honesty, and the kind of self-awareness that only comes from two decades of wrestling with the “what-ifs.”
A veteran, husband, father, Poppy, and former ombudsman, Joshua has spent years navigating both real-world crises and the invisible ones no one sees. His writing is raw, relatable, and unexpectedly comforting — a reminder that anxiety may be loud, but so is resilience.
If you’ve ever:
- rehearsed a conversation from 2003 at 2:00 AM
- panicked at the phrase “How are you?”
- apologized to a mannequin
- or lost your shit over something small, ordinary, or absurd
…this book will make you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
I Lose My Shit isn’t a guide, a cure, or a clinical manual. It’s a mirror. A confession. A laugh in the middle of the spiral. And ultimately, a reminder that falling apart is not failure — it’s part of being human.
