  • Everything We Know About Kids & Phones Is Wrong

    Everything We Know About Kids & Phones Is Wrong
    2025/04/17
    The Dutch art of Niksen. Niksen translates to "doing nothing." That's what the act is all about - relaxing, lounging around, and not doing anything. It's not even about meditating - that's doing something. It's about zoning out in complete stillness and simply existing.

    Everything we know about kids and phones is wrong. A study out of the University of South Florida assessed 1500 kids 11-13 and found smartphone ownership and usage, social media use, gaming, cyber-bullying, relationships, their mental health offline and more. And it turns out, kids who have their own phone scored better than kids who don’t on just about every measure of well-being assessed.

    Things you should never share with ChatGPT. It's pretty common sense, but avoid personal info, business secrets, financial information, etc.

  • What Is The Early Bird's Club & Should you Attend?

    What Is The Early Bird's Club & Should you Attend?
    2025/04/15
    Frugality is in. It used to be taboo to talk about money. A survey of 2,000 Americans split evenly by generation and gender found that 61% agree that it’s less tacky to be “frugal” today than it was 10 years ago.

    Early Birds club: The Earlybirds Club began when two friends in Chicago, Laura Baginski and Susie Lee, wanted to party like they did in their 20s, but as young-at-heart ladies in their 40s, they can’t be out into the wee hours of the morning as they hop from club to club. Doors open at 6 PM and close around 10 PM, ensuring everyone can make it home on time to be in bed by a reasonable hour. With a demographic of Gen X women and non-binary folks with some elder millennials mixed in, the music tends to be nostalgic hits from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.

    Foods to take off the naughty list: If you’re avoiding foods because of scary labels like “fats,” “cholesterol,” and “carbs” you might be skipping out on some serious nutrition gold, all thanks to outdated food myths. We are talking mixed nuts, eggs, avocado, etc.

    Second Date Update: Mandy and Alan go out for coffee. Was it her order that turned him off?

    • It’s when you drink coffee just before a short nap and experts say it can be more effective than either coffee or napping alone.
    • The key is timing it right by drinking coffee, then snoozing for about 20 minutes, the amount of time it takes caffeine to kick in, that way you wake up with a double shot of energy.

    • Knock one thing off your to-do list first
    • Ask yourself this question: "What do I really want to do right now?"
    • Keep asking yourself that question so you don’t waste the day binge watching a show or falling into a chore trap
    • Give your self-care some structure
