This week’s edition includes six curated recommendations PLUS an essay guide on how to protect your distractibility.

ESSAY EXCERPT!

“And to be clear, vacant scrolling is OK! All this helps do is contextualize how big is the vacancy of mind here? Is it an hour? Two hours? Is it nineteen hours? I wouldn’t even be mad about nineteen hours because through another lens, that’s CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL ENDURANCE.”

To make sure you don’t miss out on all our recommendations, my weekly mini-essay, the Yes, Ands for later and all our curations and essays each week, make sure to squad up with us and support the newsletter. Jason, Ashley, and myself would be ever so grateful for your consideration.


Full disclosure: some of these recommendations link to our Amazon affiliate store of which we do make a small amount of $$ from.


🪟Half-Price Blackout Drapes

Our old house is primarily a one-level and we have a ton of windows spread throughout so these have been my most favorite darkening velvet curtains ever! Excellent quality & fantastic color options…

🎧 Chameleon: High Rollers

This podcast series focuses on not just the somewhat skeezy underbelly of Las Vegas and the personalities in operation there, but also on the law enforcement overseeing them. But when the FBI gets involved to launch a sting operation, not all is as it seems and it quickly becomes unclear whether there are defined good guys, defined bad guys, or if everyone is just somewhere in between.

📺 Pickled on CBS

It’s pickleball. It’s Stephen Colbert. It’s celebrity teams competing against each other. What else do you need me to say?

-Jason


To see our other recommendations this week and my mini-essay on how to undistract yourself, support Yes, And either monthly or yearly.
