Recognizing the attention magnets in your life<\/strong>
\nFrom James Clear\u2019s must-read\u00a03-2-1 Thursday<\/a>\u00a0newsletter, this way of seeing with a new filter:
\nLook around your environment.<\/em>
\n Rather than seeing items as objects, see them as magnets for your attention. Each object gently pulls a certain amount of your attention toward it.<\/em>
\n Whenever you discard something, the tug of that object is released. You get some attention back.<\/em>

Better glue sticks<\/strong>
\nGlue sticks are one of my favorite craft tools. Fast, cheap, versatile. But speciality glue sticks are even better. I use\u00a0repositionable glue sticks<\/a>\u00a0so I can tweak the exact position; there is also\u00a0wrinkle free glue sticks<\/a>\u00a0for thin materials, and for kids, there is\u00a0disappearing purple glue sticks<\/a>\u00a0which go on purple but dry clear so they can see exactly where they put the glue. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Packable caps<\/strong>
\nMy new favorite hat to wear hiking is this\u00a0Parapack P-CAP\u00a0<\/a>\u2014 an adjustable, foldable hat that is so breathable and lightweight it feels like I\u2019m wearing nothing on my head. I love that it looks better than my other sun hats, and is less bulky. I just keep this in my purse now, because it\u2019s so small. You can also fold it and\u00a0use it as a pouch<\/a>. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Pill bags for travel<\/strong>
\nI recently returned from a long trip to Portugal and I used these\u00a0tiny sealable plastic bags<\/a>\u00a0to store and organize my supplements and prescription medications. I saved them so I can use them the next time I travel. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Test your street knowledge<\/strong>
\nBackofyourhand.com<\/a>\u00a0is a 5 question game that uses OpenStreetMap data to test how well you know your local area. I\u2019ve lived in San Jose, CA for almost 4 years now and still don\u2019t know the lay of the land (I scored a 15%). I scored 87% in my hometown of Sacramento. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Pirate comedy<\/strong>
\nPirates invented early forms of democracy and organizations that were far more \u201cmodern\u201d in shape than other work environments in the past. But what if there was a Gentleman Pirate who gave his pirates diversity training, casual Fridays, safe places, suggestion boxes, and encouraged them to express their artistic natures with art projects? That\u2019s the parody of a very funny HBO comedy series \u201cOur Flag Means Death<\/a>.\u201d The farcical absurdity is just background for a midlife crisis and workplace drama that is witty, heartfelt, refreshing, and touching. I binged all ten episodes in two sittings. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
