#BreakThings: The Horizon

02.26.21

First things first, I wrote a #BreakThings yesterday, and accidentally sent it to the paid subscribers only. So if you missed it, here is the link.

As I continue through the Legislature’s equivalent of Hell Week, I can finally see some rest on the horizon. But until then, my mind is still going in 100 directions. So let’s get right into the #BreakThings.

How we present ourselves to the world is part of who we are. 12-months ago, I was a well-dressed attorney who wore suits and heels regularly. During the pandemic, I have mostly worked from home and worn leggings and slippers. It’s a weird duality.

Vox digs into what our clothes say about us, and how we prepare for the change ahead. Because pandemic dressing is kind of a bummer.

When you think of a spreadsheet, you think of numbers. But this goal-setting worksheet allows you to use stated goals to build out a budget that can help you get out of debt. It’s an interesting method for getting your finances on track.

LOFT is having an amazing 48-hour sale. Their Lou & Grey loungewear is usually excluded from discounts, but is included in this one. I also snapped up this olive blazer to wear with black separates at work.

How would you explain the pandemic to your past self? What would you say to get them ready for what was to come?

This series of videos from Julie Nolke involve her traveling back in time to warn her past self about 2020. The first three are truly hysterical. If you need to perk up your day, give them a try.

Telling women, especially Moms, that they’re superheroes is just a way of glorifying over-work. Women are encouraged to labor in unsustainable and potentially harmful ways. And we need to break the cycle of rewarding women for putting themselves last.

Happy Friday. Enjoy your weekend.
