My best friend and I were talking recently about the days when, as bartenders, our schedule consisted of working, after-shift drinking and sleeping on repeat. Often, I would come to work on a Monday and a regular would ask, “What’d you get up to this weekend?” And I would pause and think: Huh, what DID I do this weekend?before stumbling through a mostly fabricated response to hide my drinking-related memory loss. My bestie had the same experience. We both mulled that over for a minute or two, then threw up in our mouths a little bit. Alcoholism notwithstanding, discovering that we remember very little of depth from a decade or more of our lives was terrifying. I remember it being fun, so there’s that. But the sights, sounds, tastes and textures of those experiences? Bupkis. Even if you can’t relate to the drinking part (and I hope you can’t), you may still be able to relate to the “What did I do this weekend?” sensation. Most of us pollute our day-to-day experiences with excessive distraction and overstimulation, and it drastically reduces our ability to slow time and record, or “mark,” our memories. And this is a big bummer, because it’s only in pausing and noticing that we can truly appreciate life. Distracted has become the new normal. Because of this, there’s an increasing need for personal rituals or practices that enable us to mark our moments—to create a mental scrapbook, if you will, so we can refer to it in our twilight years. Or, if you’re like me, you might refer to it at the end of each day to celebrate the fact that you’re pretty darn great at this thing called living. It also seems worth mentioning given the The best part is, there are no prerequisites for living in the moment. "They" say that meditation is pivotal to training the mind to be here now, but if, like me, you’d rather eat scorpions on toast points than meditate, these tips will work for you. Simply make it your mission to do these things every day, and your life will improve by a percentage that might even be 259. |

Hey Reader, Not trying to show up all doomsical in your inbox on a Wednesday, but I recently stumbled on a stat that gave me a tiny heart attack. As of 2025, ADA accessibility is no longer a “nice‑to‑have” on your website. Apparently, lawsuits over things like missing alt text, broken navigation for screen‑readers, forms people can’t use if they can’t see or click—are skyrocketing. In just the first half of this year, more than 2,000 ADA-accessibility lawsuits were filed in the US alone....
