App I love

Readwise

If you are like me and read a lot, but can never remember the details of interesting facts or ideas this app is for you. Each morning I get 5 highlights from a book that I have read. This helps me remember key thoughts so when I want to recall them in a conversation, I can remember what I read, where I read it and who said it. It is the only app I check in the morning and is a great way to start my day.

Book Nook

Stolen Focus by Johann Hari

I have been trying to limit my social media use and overall just be more present in the moment without reaching for my phone when I get 'bored'. This book explores how our society has transformed into making it extremely difficult to just be in the moment.

Travel Bag

It took me a long time to find the perfect travel bag and this is it! Timbuk2 nailed it with the Wingman Backpack Duffel. I use it mainly as a backpack, but the option for the duffel is great. I'm a budget traveler, so I use this bag as my personal item and it has never been flagged as a carry-on.
