The power of one hard thing
Oh, hi friends!
Doing one hard thing makes the next hard thing a little bit easier. You attack it a little bit faster. Because you already proved it to yourself—I did one hard thing! I’m invincible! Wheee!
What’s one hard thing you can do before noon? C’mon, you know what it is.
Go do it. You'll feel great. I’ll wait.
“To me it is really important to live in what I call the spaces in-between. Bus stations, trains, taxis or waiting rooms in airports are the best places because you are open to destiny, you are open to everything and anything can happen.”
—Marina Abramović

97! My talented actor brother Eric has performed 97 monologues over the last 97 days on Instagram. (The apple doesn't fall far from the crazy-sister tree.) Follow him to see him through lucky number 100! Watch three recent favorites written by Alex Jeffries, a McSweeney’s writer, and Brandon Nelson.

Outdoor garden? Check. Workplace cat? Check. Brilliant ideas? Check. I profiled Madwell, a creative agency in Bushwick, which happens to be doing the campaign for the New York City marathon. Kind of obsessed with their tagline: "It will move you."
And finally, I just slept *12 hours* on my new Casper mattress. Ask me anything. (Plus, here’s $75 off if you want to buy.)
Thank you for reading.
