Like Wordle, there\u2019s a new secret word every day. Start by guessing a word, and the game will give you a score between 100 and -100, depending on how close in meaning your guess is to the secret word. Be prepared to make use of the hints! Fridays word was headphones. I got in it 73 guesses with 12 hints.

It has a main compartment where I can fit larger items, 10 mesh pouches and 2 zippered pockets. None of the unisex or women\u2019s toiletry bags that I came across were as useful or well-designed as this one. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternative to affirmations<\/strong><br \/>\nI am very excited about this concept of pivoting from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/iffirmations?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">affirmations to\u00a0<em>iffirmations<\/em><\/a><em>.\u00a0<\/em>Instead of saying to yourself something like \u201cI am confident and strong\u201d you ask yourself \u201c<em>What if<\/em>\u00a0I am confident and strong?\u201d And by asking it in the form of a question forces your brain to search for evidence that this might be true. For me, this works because it conjures images and examples of ways I could be confident or strong or have been in the past, which then elicits positive and encouraging emotions. A lot more effective that affirmations. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most useful podcast<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve been listening to the Tim Ferriss weekly podcast for 8 years, and I looked forward to each episode.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tim.blog\/podcast\/?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">The Tim Ferriss Show<\/a>\u00a0began as interviews with world-class athletes and entrepreneurs deconstructing their habits and techniques. But as Tim matured, his interests shifted to mindfulness, emotional well-being, enlightenment, and relationships. His interviews run long, some for 2 hours, as he applies his superpower of uncovering the how-do-you-do-it angle, which makes his show so useful. The range is so broad and relatable that I recommend it now for all listeners. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best plant burger<\/strong><br \/>\nPlant-based burgers these days are way better than the veggie burgers of old. My favorite is the new McDonald\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com\/us\/en-us\/product\/mcplant.html?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">McPlant<\/a>, which I find the best among the fast-food variety. It contains a Beyond Meat patty and tasty sauces. It satisfies all my modest burger cravings, and is now my fast food of choice. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reusable Furniture Sliders<\/strong><br \/>\nWe just got new bamboo flooring installed in our house, and before we rearranged the furniture, I put these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/furnituresliders?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">reusable furniture sliders<\/a>\u00a0under the feet of heavy tables, couches, and credenzas. The bottom of the slider is thick felt and the top is grippy foam rubber. The sliders made it easy to move the furniture without marring the new flooring. They also have sliders that work on carpeted surfaces. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo: issue no. 304<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39906"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39906"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39908,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39906\/revisions\/39908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
