Jessica's Friday Five: I hate time-blocking

Hi Reader, Whirlwind week over here - running a large event, hanging with The Joyfully Managed Life Society members in a live workshop (I loved seeing your faces and talking weekend reset strategy!), and trying to fit in regular life between a personal trip last week and a work trip this week (writing to you from my hotel room). Weeks like these require the most ruthless of prioritization, and that's hard for my hundred-miles-an-hour ideas brain - anyone else have times like this? Also, you...

Jessica's Friday Five: A hidden Face ID trick

Hi Reader, When I'm going to be out of the office, I typically write Friday Five a week or so in advance so that I can fully unplug. But this time, I just honestly didn't get to it before needing to head to the airport for a really fun trip with my family and some of our friends. So I'm writing to you between chats with some of my favorite people before heading off to a delicious lunch and maybe even a nap this afternoon. Some of the tips in this week's issue have come from our experiences on...
