Free sports TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to watch the Superbowl live and the Olympics but I don\u2019t have cable and I don\u2019t subscribe to Peacock. A friend tipped me off to the solution which is a $15 digital antenna. There are tons of no-name generic models. I used the URIIU Digital HDTV Antenna<\/a> which is cucumber-sized stick with a long cable that plugs into my big LG screen. I now get all the over-the-air commercial-saturated channels for free, including NBC, which is streaming the sports. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot and Cold Face Wand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I bought the Therabody TheraFace Depuffing Wand<\/a> as a Christmas gift to myself. At first I thought of it as a fancy, possibly overpriced ice roller \u2014 battery-powered so that it stays consistently cold\u2014but then I realized the real benefit for me is the heat function with its three temperature levels. I give my face a heat massage when my head hurts or I\u2019m feeling anxious, and it helps relax my facial muscles and myself. I keep it at my work desk to soothe my tired eyes from too much screen time. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite mechanical pencil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tried dozens of mechanical pencils over the years, and my new favorite is the Staedtler Triplus Micro 0.5mm<\/a>. The triangular barrel feels natural in your hand and doesn’t roll off the table. The twist-up eraser is full-size, and the retractable tip means they won’t stab everything when loose in a bag. Best of all, the lead stays tight in the barrel while writing or drawing. At about $3 each, they’re an easy upgrade from whatever pencil you’re using now. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26 Useful Concepts for 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This list of 26 Useful Concepts for 2026<\/a> is offered as lenses or perspective shifts for staying afloat in this new age of \u201cslop.\u201d Each one has a short definition\u2014some expose the invisible forces trying to hijack your attention or distort your perception of reality, while others help you stay aligned with your own truth and meaning. I especially loved Cammarata\u2019s Razor<\/a>: If you want more agency, ask yourself what you\u2019d do if you had ten times more agency \u2014 then do it, and The Shower Test<\/a>: \u201cWe\u2019re socially conditioned to chase what we think everyone else wants. But your true heart\u2019s desire can often be found in the thoughts you gravitate to while undistracted, such as in the shower. As Walt Whitman said, \u2018If you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders.\u2019\u201d I wish I could remember where I first came across this to give credit, but it\u2019s absolutely worth passing around. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prompt therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People can be helped meaningfully by reading books that know nothing about them. If you tell a reputable AI chatbot a lot about yourself, it can help you far more than a book or lecture can. In a 20-minute video Dan Pink crafted a dozen prompts<\/a> that will enable an AI to give you helpful feedback of a type you may not get from your family and friends. It is a partner in honesty. This kind of prompt therapy is just a first step towards a whole new avenue of self-help that will only expand quickly from now on. I\u2019ve done some of Dan\u2019s prompts and they really will stir up something important in you and for you. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n
