Designing your life<\/strong>
\nThis Stanford TEDx talk,\u00a0Designing Your Life<\/a>, serves two purposes: in 25 minutes it introduces the modern method of \u201cdesign thinking,\u201d developed at the Stanford Design School, which is a powerful process for designing anything (a product, a house, a service, a city). This is the best succinct summary of this cool tool that all creators should know about.\u00a0 Then this talk illuminates how you can apply this \u201cdesign thinking\u201d to designing your own life. The process maps well, and I realized that I have been using its principles as I deliberately design my life.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Get more aligned with your period<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m upgraded my\u00a0old period tracker<\/a>\u00a0for the\u00a0Stardust Period Tracker<\/a>\u00a0(iOS only). It integrates science and astronomy to link my menstrual cycle to the moon cycles and makes \u201cpredictions\u201d for my symptoms, cravings and moods, and you know what? It\u2019s pretty spot on! I appreciate getting \u201cday of\u201d notifications warning me that my progesterone levels might be high and to avoid \u201cthe dark side\u201d (aka mood swings). \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro<\/strong>
\nI bought Apple\u2019s AirPods a couple of years ago and was fairly happy with them, but the battery life was disappointing. They would run out near the end of a one hour zoom meeting. I recently got the\u00a0AirPods Pro<\/a>\u00a0and they not only have much better battery life (2.5+ hours of talk time) they also have excellent noise cancellation. I don\u2019t need my big heavy Bose Noise canceling headphones any longer! \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Ambient chatter<\/strong>
\nAs I write this, construction workers next door are nailing shingles on the roof. But I don\u2019t hear the nail gun or the air compressor because I\u2019m wearing my AirPods Pro and playing the sounds of coffee shop chatter at the\u00a0Rainy Cafe website<\/a>. You can mix in the sound of rain, too. The sound helps me concentrate. It\u2019s better than silence. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Not your mom’s cleaning hacks<\/strong>
\nA cleaning hack I just learned:\u00a0cut the corner of the sponge I use solely for the cast iron vs all the other dishes. Found in\u00a0The 30 Most Brilliant Cleaning Hacks of All Time<\/a>. I guarantee you will find some tips you\u2019ve never heard of before on this list, like microwaving your cleaning rag or using a mesh laundry bag in the dishwasher. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Watching machines work<\/strong>
\nMy guilty pleasure is watching people work, watching machines work, and watching people and machines work together. I can\u2019t explain it. I am utterly hypnotized by repeating exactitude. My source for mesmerizing videos of machines at work is the twitter feed of\u00a0Machine Pix<\/a>.\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 KK<\/p>\n
