5 Things I’m Into This week #13

My weekly series is now a teenager. Who’d have thought?!

Here are 5 things of value I wanted to share with you this week:

  1. There’s always an aviation angle, and here is an awesome board game an airline employee has created. It’s on a crowdsourcing site right now. Definitely check it out!
  2. My playlist this past week. Of course, there’s Daft Punk on it.
  3. Scientists are using drones to take beautiful but alarming photos of the Arctic getting greener.
  4. Coffee is pretty much the last vice I have. Here’s some great news about java and heart health.
  5. Radio Garden is an amazing website/app that lets you spin the globe and listen to radio stations the world over. You can download the app at the Apple Store. Make sure to set aside some time when you check it out. It’s a deep/wonderful rabbit hole.

What caught your attention this week? Let me know in the comments!

5 Things I’m Into This Week

2020 is in our rearview mirror, and brighter days await! I hope this finds you ringing in the New Year healthy and safe.

Here are 5 things I want to share with you this week.

1. On Christmas, a lot of people got presents they didn’t necessarily want or need. On the surface that seems like a good problem to have. But left unchecked, “stuff” becomes overwhelming, and your things wind up owning you.
A good way to start the year is by clearing away the white noise in your life. And a good first step for that is to ask yourself something like, “how many towels do I really need?”

2. Airlines come and go every year. This year, the list hits different.

3. The other day my son and I were in line at Costco, when he asked me how credit cards work. More specifically, what happens between when you swipe your card and when you get your receipt. I had no idea. Maybe you didn’t either? This video explains it well.

4. We all slowed down this year, whether we wanted to or not. I found myself pleasantly surprised at the kinds of space that created. Maybe a world focused on profit and efficiency isn’t the best way forward?

5. What a time to be alive!

Thanks for being here,
Kevin—
