Done lists are the best! Especially useful for people who are non stop busy and would have an endless to do list but feel like nothing gets done

People wanting to feel like they did work to make a thing is a psychological reality that Ikea exploits intentionally: the assembly is made more complicated than it needs to be on purpose because, after people finish, they feel triumphant, and have more of a connection with the furniture than the shoddy materials deserve

Hearing Rachel and Griffin talk about 2016 being a weird year that lasted too long, as I sit here in the year 2021... never before have I talked back to podcasters so earnestly, trying to communicate through time just to remark upon the irony.
