💭 One Thing We’re Thinking About

It’s hard to be both the toddler and the parent at the same time!

I often joke that my natural rhythms make me feel like a toddler — I’m up at the crack of dawn and ready to go, go, go until I exhaust myself around 4pm, and then someone needs to give me a snack and a bath and put me to bed.

This week on the blog, Anna reveals how giving treating herself like a toddler is THE ultimate strategy when life starts feeling impossible to manage.

👀 One Thing We’re Obsessed With

Over a year ago, we both made the switch to the Arc Browser and never looked back — Safari and Chrome who??? This browser rules if you’re constantly juggling tabs and need a better system to use the Internet.

MJ recently tested out their mobile browser Arc Search and it immediately replaced Safari on her iPhone — and we were the most impressed by the feature that uses AI to summarize web pages.

It seems like every company is using AI to do things that no one asked for, but Arc completely crushed it with this one.

⭐️ NEW PRODUCT 4 ppl who can’t finish things ⭐️

A couple weeks ago we shared a blog about our Flow State Formula which will help you cut through resistance and ambiguity that often prevents you from starting a task or project.

So we built it into a cute little Notion widget!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Flow State Formula Widget will help you:

• Reduce the friction & guesswork that makes you procrastinate in the first place

• Put your routines and recurring tasks on auto-pilot

• Finally start (and finish!) the tasks you’ve been putting off

This is for you if:

• You have a really hard time starting things (thx, executive dysfunction!)

• You get overwhelmed and freeze when the steps of a process feel unclear

• You have a hard time settling in and staying focused long enough to finish things (thx, ADHD!)

🍿 One Thing We’re Watching

Dinosaur on Hulu

A hilarious, relatable, story that rarely (maybe never??) gets told on TV — a Scottish comedy about an autistic paleontologist. It’s written by autistic comedian Ashley Storrie, who plays the lead in the show!

You will laugh all the way until episode 5 when you cry and your heart breaks into a million pieces. It’s from the production company behind Fleabag (regrettably there’s no hot priest in this one, but you’ll fall for the love interest anyway!!!)

🤔 One Question For You

⭐️ One Last Thing

Last year, we bonded over our mutual love of Marina Abramovic and how bonkers and confronting her artistic legacy is. If you’re not familiar with her, check out this 18 min video on your lunch break.
