Daily apps for approaching a semblance of knowing what’s going on.
Here are some of the apps I use on a daily basis:
Bearable: GREAT symptom tracker for those trying to identify trends between different factors, like sleep, diet, exercise, stress, etc.
Calm/Headspace: love both. Calm offers custom breathing exercises, but Headspace has the best sleep story ever: Cat Marina. I will die on this hill. I wish both had hours-long sleep stories as I wake up in the middle of the night. Calm’s newsletter is surprisingly good to read.
Day One: daily journal, this is a great one.
Whereing: I’m trying to track my clothing use so found this promising wardrobe manager and tracker.
Cozi: honeydo list, menu planner, grocery list, kinda planner. The f*cking default title case drives me crazy, but it is a very nice (and free) way to manage menu/groceries that I found.
NYT Cooking: consistently great recipes. I think we’ve had two duds out of dozens.
Google calendar
Google drive (article TK on the document I use to plan/document)
Outlook for iOS. Don’t sniff at this choice. Quite robust and simple to use
Duolingo: registered years ago and recently returned to this. No reason it’s so popular. I’m bouncing around between French, Spanish, Italian, and Arabic, thinking about doing the music one as well.
Noom: I needed a jolt and a friend recommended it. I’ve lost 10% of my body weight. I am not a fan of the UI but the little lessons have changed some perspectives around food and activity, even stress.
Audible: Since Calm and Headspace don’t have sleep stories long enough, I listen to 8-hour+ books instead. The kids also listen to books and we’ve found some real gems
Spotify: my music city was Boulder, CO, which feels very on the nose, I guess? I remember eagerly awaiting Spotify’s arrival in the US - and also being absolutely puzzled at people who paid monthly to not own any files? I guess it’s still stupid now…?
