World Radio<\/strong>
\nRadio Garden<\/a>\u00a0is a website that presents you with a spinnable globe of the Earth. The green dots represent radio stations. Rotate the globe, click a dot and you are suddenly listening to live radio in that part of the world. Right now I\u2019m listening to\u00a0Radio Seaside Wave<\/a>\u00a0in Nakhodka, Russia. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Optimizing autonomy<\/strong>
\nOne of the benefits of working from home is that you potentially have more autonomy in your work. As Dan Pink explains in this brief, but densely animated talk entitled: \u201cDrive: The surprising truth about what motivates us<\/a>,\u201d autonomy is one of the three main drivers of getting stuff done (money is not). Use this reset time to optimize these three factors in what you do. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Relax your jaw<\/strong>
\nEvery once in awhile I will be scrolling through Reddit and come across a short reminder or tip post that simply says:\u00a0Relax your jaw<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m not sure at what moment it became second nature to me, but I noticed in the last week I\u2019ve started relaxing my jaw at the first sign of anxiety or discomfort, which is great, because I then check-in with my entire body and relax my shoulders, and just that in itself is an instant mood booster. So I would like to pay it forward with a reminder to relax your jaw. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Four favorite tools podcast<\/strong>
\nEvery week Mark and I interview a maker on our Cool Tools podcast. We ask them to rave about four of their favorite tools for 25 minutes. The range of tools they recommend is surprising and refreshing; we are always expanding our possibilities. You can subscribe to the\u00a0Cool Tools Podcast<\/a>\u00a0from the usual platforms. (We have 220 episodes!)\u00a0 If you know of a remarkable person who is into tools, send us an introduction, and we\u2019ll try to have them as a guest. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Kanji Practice Pad<\/strong>
\nThe Beginning Japanese Kanji Language Practice Pad<\/a> looks like a daily calendar. On each tear-off page is a different Japanese kanji character, along with its definition, pronunciation, sample use, stroke order, and space to practice writing it. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Tactics for Relationships in Quarantine<\/strong>
\nThis episode of the\u00a0Tim Ferris podcast with Psychotherapist Esther Perel<\/a>\u00a0was very timely and enlightening. Perel shares templates for navigating the tactically challenging situations that relationships might be facing at this moment in time, as well as phrases for deepening the conversation with loved ones. For example, with those who are prone to answering \u201cgreat\u201d when you ask how they are doing, a good follow up question would be \u201chow are you sleeping?\u201d This is a wake-up call for me because I am one of those people who feels like I am not allowed to complain when there is a lot to be grateful for, but in her words, \u201cYou can feel humble, you can feel thankful to things, but you can\u2019t feel great in this moment because if you\u2019re feeling great in this moment, you\u2019re detached. You\u2019re disconnected.\u201d And that warrants a moment of acknowledgement. Another tip I pulled from this that was inspired by a past episode with Bren\u00e9 Brown was to each morning give your partner a heads up of where your emotional\/energy level is at with a percentage of how full your tank is. So if I don\u2019t sleep well or am feeling cranky, I will let my husband know I\u2019m at 20%, so please tread lightly. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
