PHYSICAL

• Five year diary – only a couple sentences a day, but the perspective that emerges once you are into the second or third year is incredible. Like, it turns out everything bad happens to me on December 11. Everything good is first week of April. I’m on year 7.
• Reading light (bookmark style from Glocusent) – this tiny thumb drive of a nightlight saves me from looking at my phone if I’m awake in the night, with warm and cool settings and different brightness.
• Mandoline slicer (from OXO Good Grips) – makes all slicing and dicing way easier, which makes me eat more veggies.

DIGITAL

• Duolingo – I am now competent in two new languages, but it’s also a way to be productive and not on social when I’m on my phone.
• Headspace – meditating on a streak!

INVISIBLE

I love this Toni Morrison quotation:

“Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom. Like art.”
