Cultural norms:<\/strong>
\nIn most parts of the world business cards are still a cultural norm. I designed my business card in Photoshop, and every few years I update the info and send the file to PS Print<\/a> online and they mail back a small box of 250 for $18. Easy, quick, cheap. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Better phone calls:<\/strong>
\nOur house phone sounds awful and we get poor cell phone connectivity at home. But we have wi-fi and I\u2019ve started using FaceTime Audio<\/a>\u00a0as much as possible to make phone calls. It works on any Apple hardware and the sound quality is crystal clear, even when using cellular data. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Organizational:<\/strong>
\nThis eBags toiletry bag<\/a> is the perfect size to fit all essential travel toiletries plus a lot of my makeup. It has four compartments and stays pretty flat, so I can slip it into my large tote if I need to. My favorite feature is the hook for hanging which is great for hotels with little counter space. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Lowest prices:<\/strong>
\nPrices on Amazon oscillate week to week far more than you might think. Paste an Amazon url into Camelcamelcamel.com<\/a> to see the chart of an item\u2019s price history. If you are not in a hurry, you can use the chart to set a plausible low target price and Camel will send you an alert and buy button when (if) it reaches that price. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Travel tip:<\/strong>
\nOn a recent trip to Tokyo, I brought along the Sea to Summit TravellingLight Day Pack<\/a> ($33). It weighs 2.4 oz (my iPhone 6 Plus weighs 6.2 ounces) and zips up into a bundle smaller than my fist. But it holds 20 liters of stuff, and I used it every day to carry water, snacks, sweaters, an iPhone charger, a portable wi-fi, groceries, and things my wife and I bought while walking around. The material feels indestructible. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Easy gratitude:<\/strong>
\nGratefulness<\/a>\u00a0is the easiest way to practice gratitude. You don\u2019t have to download an app or set a reminder to write in a diary. Just pick a time of day and you\u2019ll get a text asking you what you are grateful for that day. At the end of the week, you\u2019ll get an email of everything you text back. Reading the Public Gratitude Wall<\/a> is a quick way to smile. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
