TODAY I WILL:  

Take the pressure off and let the magic in.

Habits are getting granular—down to your macros, your migraines, and your weekend rituals.

• Even more ways to elevate our protein-maxxing.

• Social media is checking up on the Evil Queen.

• Blocking out every weekend for “French Sundays.”

• What is your pet’s favorite channel?

• Your environment has more impact on your migraines than you think.

Conquer Your To-Do List

If your to-do list is longer than your patience—and somehow still not making you feel accomplished—it’s time for a smarter system. The Eisenhower Matrix is a deceptively simple tool used by Dwight D. Eisenhower to make big decisions under pressure. Today, it works just as well for inbox overload, endless errands, and that one task you keep moving to “tomorrow.”

The premise for this tool is that not all tasks are created equal, so you need to designate what's urgent vs. important to stop reacting to everything and start focusing on what actually moves the needle.

To practice the method, start by thinking about your to-do list in four buckets:

• Do: These tasks are urgent and important (often deadline-driven, high-priority tasks), so you should do them now.

• Schedule: These tasks are important but not urgent. They’re not screaming for your attention, but do need to be taken into account, so schedule them.

• Delegate: These tasks are urgent but not important. Usually, these are emails, meetings, or minor requests that someone else can handle, pass it along, or streamline.

• Eliminate: These tasks are not important or urgent. If it doesn’t add value, joy, or progress? Let it go. Your time is too valuable.

  
  

Why it works: This method forces you to stop confusing being “busy” with “productive.” Plus, you spend more time on long-term wins.

The move: Dump everything on your to-do list onto paper and move them into your four buckets. Revisit weekly—priorities change, and that’s okay!

Start with Order in the Chaos

Making your bed might feel insignificant—especially when the day ahead feels unpredictable. But that’s exactly why it matters. Completing one small, intentional task first thing in the morning creates a sense of control when so much else is out of your hands.

This simple act sends a signal to your brain that you showed up, and that matters more than we give it credit for. One completed task builds momentum, nudging you toward the next right thing, and the next. It’s about starting the day with a win.

Over time, these tiny, consistent choices add up and improve your mood. They ground you, steady your nervous system, and shape how you move through the rest of your day. Small habits don’t feel powerful in the moment, but they’re often the ones that can impact everything.

Try this today: Make your bed before you check your phone (sounds tough, we know). No need for hotel corners—just smooth the sheets and fluff the pillows. Let it be your first accomplishment of the day.

The group chat is the new town square

Over the past year, we’ve quietly watched community migrate off the grid. Instead of broadcasting thoughts into the void of Instagram or debating strangers on X, people are building micro-worlds inside text threads, Signal chains, and private DMs.

The vibe? Smaller, safer, and way more curated.

Friendship Without Performance: On public platforms, everything feels slightly staged. Even vulnerability can start to feel like content. In group chats, though, the tone is different. It’s voice notes at 11:47 P.M. It’s screenshots with “be honest.” In short, your group chat is where the real-time processing happens. 

Networking, But Make It Private: Panels and comment sections are out. Warm intros and curated threads are in.

Instead of shouting into LinkedIn posts, people are building niche chats: founders sharing vendor recs, editors flagging freelance opportunities, and wellness girls trading supplement codes. It’s referral culture without the performance of networking. Think: soft launches for ideas, private beta testing for businesses, and quiet collaborations that never hit the timeline.

Access feels earned, not optimized.

Activism Without the Algorithm: Public activism often rewards visibility over strategy. In smaller digital rooms, organizing can feel more grounded. Event details, donation links, call scripts, and rapid responses move faster when they’re not battling an algorithm for reach.

It’s less “posting to show you care” and more “texting to get it done.”

Why This Shift Matters: There’s fatigue around being perceived, around metrics, and around turning every thought into shareable content.

The group chat offers something different: low stakes, high trust. It’s a return to word-of-mouth energy, just digitized. 

Community didn’t disappear. It just got smaller, smarter, and way more intentional.
