Adulthood isn’t about mastery it’s about proficiency and accepting we’re all stupid when it comes to numerous topics. The Libby app has a vast collection of the For Dummies books to learn from. I could not justify spending a single dollar on this series but via Libby have read several volumes. I recommend Managing Anxiety with CBT for Dummies and Watercolor Painting. I skimmed Holiday Decorating for Dummies and learned advanced napkin folding which kills at family functions. I plan to read Writing a Children’s Book for Dummies next, not sure why. Don’t let elitism get in the way of your education!

First you need a library card which is also something I highly recommend. Libby is my favorite recommendation and I will talk about it whenever I get the chance. Because it’s also free.
You can read magazines which will give you something to do on your phone instead of doomscrolling. You can listen to audiobooks too and they have literally everything. You can look at an eBook of a cookbook and get a recipe.

I am truly obsessed with the Libby app. If you have a library card, a phone, and an e-reader, it is a free library in your phone/tablet/whatever. Billions and bazillions of audiobooks and books and more for free. A great way to try new books or audiobooks at your own pace, and there are no late fees. Perfection.

I don’t know if people are aware that you can easily borrow ebooks and audiobooks through your public library using this app. Also, I just recommend the library in general.

Whenever possible, I try to conduct my business in diners. The ideal backdrop for meetings, dates, fights, parent visits, co-working, break ups, meeting internet friends IRL, dining alone, disassociating after therapy, crying in public. Truly a one-size-fits-all venue

They don’t want you to know that kids are a better hang than most adults. I was a nanny when I first moved to NYC and still dabble between freelance paychecks. Kids are hilarious, earnest and tell it to you straight. I’m blessed to have many kid cousins in my life. The other day I walked around the city with my teen cousin splitting wire headphones and listening to Gucci Mane. We stopped for treats twice. Perfect afternoon.

Study Bunny is a productivity app for people with severe ADHD who were addicted to Neopets. It’s simply a timer that depicts a bunny studying in a tidy bedroom. If you complete your timed study session you’re rewarded with bunny coins and health points. You can then shop the Study Bunny store with your windfall and buy your hardworking bunny essential items like a cowboy hat or a bathrobe. It is what it is that I cannot accomplish mundane tasks without an anthropomorphic bunny motivating me, but I’ve never been so productive. I’m gonna take her on a shopping spree during tax season.
