Exit Scam podcast<\/strong>
\nI have only listened to the first episode of\u00a0Exit Scam<\/em><\/a>, an eight-episode podcast about the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of the founder of Canada\u2019s biggest Bitcoin exchange. When Gerald Cotten died, the password to $215 million of cryptpcurrency was lost, and some people think he faked his own death. This is my favorite podcast since\u00a0Serial<\/em>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Positive adventures<\/strong>
\nThe most positive and uplifting channel on YouTube might be\u00a0YesTheory<\/a>. A small band of travelers and filmmakers immerse themselves in strange places (staying with Amish family), challenging situations (total darkness for 5 days), and long periods cruising out of their comfort zone in order to grow and become better people. Their motto is \u201cseek discomfort.\u201d They do it with humor and integrity (for 7.5 million subscribers), so their adventures truly are encouraging and inspiring. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Contactless payments<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m traveling in England and no stores seem to want to use cash anymore. Everyone uses\u00a0Apple Pay<\/a>\u00a0even for the smallest purchase. Contactless payment made by hovering your phone near a device is rapidly becoming common all around the world, US included. I was immensely surprised how easy it was to hook my credit card up to my iPhone to make payments. Took 30 seconds, and no new accounts, no bank, no wallet, just my usual credit card.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s Apple Pay all the time for me. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Time zones visualized<\/strong>
\nI do Zoom meetings with people all over the world, and I use\u00a0Every Time Zone<\/a>\u00a0to find times that are convenient for all participants. It\u2019s free, it\u2019s browser-based, and it remembers my settings. I keep it in my menu bar. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

How to set boundaries with your to-do list<\/strong>
\nWhen writing out my daily to-do list I often remember\u00a0this advice<\/a>\u00a0tweeted by Writer Jen\u00e9e Desmond-Harris: \u201cI started dividing my to-do list into 1) things I have to do, 2) things I want to do, and 3) things other people want me to do. Life changing! I often don\u2019t get to 3 and I finally realized omg, is this what it means to have boundaries?!\u201d \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
