30 Days of PEP is an idea for a structure to help someone get started with PEP, and help them gain and keep momentum.

If you feel PEP is a little too wide-open, or a little too big to get your arms around, and you don't know where to start, perhaps 30 Days of PEP can help with that. It's like a PEP planner, with one BB per weekday planned out for you. All you have to do is the BB. It's also a way to promise ones-self to stay committed to PEP, for thirty weekdays.

Be sure to post BB pics in their BB threads, not here. Pics and posts here are for cheering, bragging, and camaraderie. If you find yourself thinking you'd rather do a different BB on Tuesday, then do it! And still share here that you've joined to do 30 Days of PEP.

Day of the WeekWeek 1Week 2Week 3Week 4Week 5Week 6
Monday: Cooking DayCook a Stir Fry!Cook a Soup!Bake a Pizza!Cook 2 Cups of Grain on the Stove!Make Loaves of Bread!Vinegar Brine Pickling!
Tuesday: Critter DayStart up your Ruth Stout Composting!Build a Mason Bee House!Make an Insect Watering StationPlant a Nectar Harvest!Plant  Mulberry Trees!Chop & Drop!
Wednesday: Tool DaySharpen a Knife!Pass The Cast Iron Skillet Test!Clean The Oven!Create or Restock a First Aid Kit!Oil Kitchen Woods!Clean a Bathroom!
Thursday: Craft DayCarve an Ugly Spoon!Sew a Patch!Mend Cloth by Darning!Make a Beginner Birdhouse!Repair Window Screen!Brand a Location!
Friday: Cleaning DaySweep the Floor!Wash the Dishes by Hand!Reuse Dishwater!Clean the Kitchen!Use a Bucket of Water from the Shower!Clean an Oily Dish without Soap!

30 Days of PEP is an idea for a structure to help someone get started with PEP. It is not the only idea, and is not the only way. If you're already started with PEP, or have many BB's complete, this may not do what you want it to. You are, of course, welcome to join in the 30-days of PEP idea, and substitute your own BBs for those listed above.

Who's ready to do 30 Days of PEP?

It's not Monday, and I may not get another BB done tomorrow, but I finished making twine out of palm leaves, and it feels really nice to be back doing PEP.
