Reminder: What’s Easy + Obvious To You Isn’t Easy + Obvious To Everyone
I’m co-working with my best friend on a sunny Tuesday, drinking coffee on her couch, and sifting through my inbox.
She walks behind me on her way to the kitchen and glances at my screen. “You know you can just click on that little arrow to read the next email, right?” she says as she rinses out her mug. “You don’t have to keep going back to your inbox.”
What now? My email-reading life = changed. Productivity = upped. With an afterthought of a comment, my friend significantly improved my work life.
And I’m sure she nearly didn’t tell me because she thought her suggestion was too obvious.
We’re all guilty of this, right? Discounting our knowledge because it has become so ingrained in our everyday life that we assume everybody else knows that thing or has that skill set.
Welcome to Yes & Yes!
Want to spend your time, money, and energy on purpose? I'll show you how.

7 Ways To Be A Better Friend
When I was in ninth grade, I was fairly convinced that I was experiencing the most socially challenging time in my life. My friends and I filled entire books with notes, spent hours monopolizing the landline with our conversations about outfits and boys, and would fall in and out of love with each other approximately every 20 minutes. It was all very emotional and very, very dramatic. These days...
True Story: I’m A Nun
Tell us a bit about yourself! My name is Sister Anne. Being from New Orleans is a huge aspect of my life, and it shows, I think, in two of my big interests: food and music. I enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, trying new things out on the sisters (who don't seem to mind). In terms of music, my tastes are all over the place. I discovered classical music (Bach's Brandenburg Concerto...
Kitchen Globetrotter: Chile // Chilean Tomato Salad
They say “the devil is in the details.” However, I propose a quick change to the idiom—because, as this light and flavorful tomato salad proves, delight is what’s really in the details.Traditionally served in Chile alongside grilled meats (a major staple of the country’s cuisine), the tartness and tang of this side dish balances out what would otherwise be a very heavy plate. It’s no...
New Thing: Wear Wedges Every Day For A Week
Each year I make a list of new things I want to try and then I do 'em. You can read about past adventures here. Let me preface this post by telling you that: 1. I've reached the age of nearly-35 without ever really learning how to walk in heels 2. I never understood what Carrie Bradshaw was so wound up about (my favorite footwear is a pair of leather riding boots I bought for $5 and spent...
5 Ways To Deal With Trolls, Unsubscribes, and Unfollows
A few months ago I discovered ads.twitter.com. In one handy dandy space, you can see how all your tweets are faring. Which ones are the most popular (this one was retweeted 13 times and favorited 9 times) How many clicks they get (this one only got six) And, rather horrifyingly, how many people unfollow you. In case you were wondering, that's the sound of me developing a complex about the 96...
True Story: I Am An Ultra Marathoner
What's an ultra marathoner? And how can a human run for 24 hours or 48 hours at a time? I'm impressed with myself when I run ONE mile! Luke runs ultra marathons and lives to tell about it. This is his story. Tell us a bit about yourself! I am Luke Ashton, an ultra runner aged 35, from Brighton, East Sussex in the UK. My day job is as a security officer at a local London Airport. For those of...
