This tool has been catching the attention of ADHDers, for a good reason.

It's like Google for your own brain — one place to save everything online, and one place to find it. Save it with a click to get it off your real mind, and mymind magically organizes it for you.

It’s 100% private, meaning no social pressure or distractions.

💭 One Thing We’re Thinking About

“I was attached to my screens, and I was using them to numb and disconnect when things felt hard, unclear, and uncomfortable. Once I realized that’s what I was doing, I wanted to make a different choice, but I wasn’t sure how to make a change that would last.”

This week on the blog, Anna shares the Official Guide to Tech Rest.

👀 One Thing We’re Obsessed With

The Anxiety Bookshelf 🤭

MJ just got her paws on the most adorable new desktop fidget toy. It comes with 260 mini books for you to organize on the tiny shelves, shake up when you’re stressed, and do it all over again!

It comes in handy on the nights when you want to keep your hands busy during a movie but don’t want to mindlessly scroll.

👉 Support the small business and grab your own tiny library here!!

🎧 One Thing We’re Listening To

Roughly once a quarter, Anna publishes a roundup of podcasts she’s loved lately called Good Chat.

On this roundup we’re cancelling Dr. Phil, #Girlbossing too hard with The Wing, and getting to the bottom of the nagging thought… am I doing too much?
