Travel clothesline<\/strong>
I\u2019ve used this\u00a0Retractable Portable Clothesline<\/a>\u00a0in 4 different hotels and I highly recommend it. You never lose the clothespins since they are attached to an elastic cord. Positioning beads on the cord prevents clothing items from sliding along it. There are hooks on the ends of the cord instead of suction cups, so you\u2019ll need to be creative to set it up, but I find a way every time. \u2014 MF

Black glues<\/strong>
Clear caulking and clear hot glue are the norms. But caulking and glue also come in colors, like black. For instance\u00a0black caulking<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0black hot glue<\/a>\u00a0are perfect for projects involving light seals, or when working with dark materials. Curiously, a black patch or seam will often disappear more than a clear one. \u2014 KK

Transparent salaries across the U.S.<\/strong>
Salary Transparent Street shares videos of people on the street being asked \u201cwhat do you do?\u201d and \u201chow much do you make?\u201d It\u2019s humbling and (mind-boggling!) imagining how I would survive in the Bay Area on certain salaries across the U.S. The channel\u2019s goal is to promote pay transparency across the United States, close the gender pay gap, increase diversity and equal opportunities. You can follow it on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0TikTok<\/a>. \u2014 CD

What you can control and what you can’t<\/strong>
I like this visual reminder I came across on\u00a0Reddit<\/a>\u00a0of \u201cWhat I can control and what I can\u2019t<\/a>.\u201d It reminds me to celebrate the wins \u2014 I no longer reactively say, \u201cYou<\/em>\u00a0make me feel\u00a0this<\/em>.\u201d I used to have to correct myself to say, \u201cWhen you do\u00a0this<\/em>, it makes me feel\u00a0this<\/em>.\u201d But after years of practicing, it\u2019s now become second nature to take responsibility for how I feel. \u2014 CD

Quick-dry travel pants<\/strong>
I own three pairs of\u00a0Roark Explorer Adventure pants<\/a>. They dry quickly in my hotel room after being washed. They feature a side zipper pocket for cell phones and passports, as well as a hidden back zipper pocket for wallets. I was in Carcassonne last week and warned that pickpockets were active there, so I was glad to have my belongings secured. \u2014 MF

Tools for possibilities<\/strong>
We think you\u2019ll like our newest newsletter,\u00a0Tools for Possibilities<\/a>. Every Monday we\u2019ll send you a one-pager with the best parts of my Cool Tools book, which is now out of print. This oversized book rounded up the best tools we knew about in 2013 and presented them by category. I called it a\u00a0Catalog of Possibilities<\/a>. Our succinct newsletter takes each category and selects the reviews for 2 to 4 tools in that category. It is basically a way to distill and re-distribute the deep, deep archive of the Cool Tools website, which has been reviewing tools daily since 2003. The information about the tools, whether they are still available or even still the very best, has NOT been updated. (They are just a search away.) We present this stream of tools \u2013 defined in its broadest sense as anything handy for an individual or small group\u00a0 \u2013 as an easy way to see what possibilities there exist if you want to make things happen. It\u2019s brief and free. Sign up for\u00a0Tools for Possibilities here<\/a>. \u2014 KK
