Yep; you’re a fellow after my own heart, Trevor: If all else fails, redefine it!

When we moved into our current house I had all kinds of plans to keep the lawn up, weed the gardens regularly, etc. I’m afraid the enthusiasm has waned a bit in the time since.

I don’t have a lawn. Saves getting paranoid about maintaining it. Oh - I occasionally “mow the grass” but I never glamorize it by calling it lawn. Over a period of several years I struggled to keep it going, watering, fertilizing, aerating - all the usual guff but it refused to cooperate - so now it is just common grass, not lawn. And my frame of reference changed over the same period. Great. Saves me a lot of angst. And work.

And now we are in drought and severe water restrictions, so suddenly I am very hip - very “water-wise” not having a lawn to pour water into uselessly. The change in my frame of reference has now made me a leader in my community, years before I knew I was a trend setter.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

I like the quote! Very apt.

As for your question, frameworks are built bit-by-bit, because as William James said, your current frameworks don’t want to go away without some convincing.
