Ultimate training documentary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed this doc about the Blue Angels<\/a> \u2013 an elite jet squadron showing off Navy flying skills. But since pilots are rotated out after two years, it is really a training program that constantly absorbs newbies. Their training process is worth emulating. At the end of the touring season their planes are flying with only 12 inches between wing tips!  I had no idea. Produced by JJ Abrams, with incredible cinematography inside and out. Free on Amazon Prime. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pocket-sized laptop charger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Anker 67W USB-C charger<\/a> is about half the size of my MacBook’s original charger, but it powers up my laptop just as quickly. The foldable plug makes it travel-friendly and pocketable. It’s not just for laptops either; it fast-charges my iPhone and iPad too. At around $25, it’s significantly cheaper than Apple’s offering. The only downside is that it only has one port, but the small size makes up for it. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliment Me\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re feeling low or need a pep talk, you can share your feelings and rant to this AI bot<\/a>. It’s designed to sweetly reflect back what you’re feeling and offer encouraging “compliments.” It never fails to make me smile. (Discovered through the most recent issue of WIMN<\/a>.) \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can do vs. should do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike typical 2×2 decision grids, this 3×3 matrix<\/a> by John Cutler has nuanced categories that reflect the real-world complexities of decision-making. The X-axis is labeled “Can” and the Y-axis is labeled “Should” and it contains 8 “boxes” of potential opportunities. The idea is to think about things you should be doing and plot them on this grid. It’s especially helpful for figuring out tasks that are important but tricky and avoiding things that are easy but don’t really get you closer to your goals. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Ready Travel Dress\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I bought this Beyond Yoga dress<\/a> based on the reviews to be my go-to travel dress because it\u2019s packable and doesn\u2019t wrinkle easily. I\u2019ve worn it many times, both while traveling and at home, and I love it so much that I had to buy another one in a different color. It\u2019s the perfect length and so soft that I\u2019ve even slept in it. It\u2019s a bit pricey, but I wear it so often that it feels justified. I\u2019ve washed it many times now, and it\u2019s still buttery soft and wrinkle-free. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immovable dish for babies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Silicone suction dishes won\u2019t move unless you want them to. They stick to a table with surprising instant force but are super easily released. This makes them perfect for minimizing spills by toddlers. Their flexible sides also won\u2019t hurt. Lots of brands make silicone suction bowls, but the Mushies<\/a> are the simplest and most elegant, and will stack with other bowls. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
