Reality check!
As I try my best to stay in touch with reality with wedding preps on, I went back to some golden content from last month.
I’ll be honest, it is getting tough to stay connected to the world outside the wedding task list my parents handed me last week!
This week we have a lot of advice, a new take on my favorite line, a cool new product I came across, and then some more productivity advice!
Cheers!

Productivity Hack
Reframing Your Day - Instead of feeling that you lost the day after a bad morning,
Reframe each day as 4 quarters:
- Morning
- Midday

- Evening
If you blow one quarter, just get back on track for the next one.
