Just discovered you can avoid the hellscape of advertising on articles, recipes, and pretty much any webpage by selecting “reader view” (on the iPhone). This is revolutionary.
I know there is a premium version that you can pay for but it is so satisfying to scroll this app and not run into distracting ads. I know it is bound to happen here too but I am just soaking it in.
remind yourself of what excites you. what you can't wait for. what's going to make you so giddy you can barely sleep at night, and what gets you jumping out of bed in the morning. what makes every little moment so much better.
