Where my 3 am clubbers at? I wake up between 3-4 am every day for years and am up and attem. I have tried reading/sleep podcasts/ASMR/avoiding my phone but I can’t seem to fall back asleep and I am my most productive 3-12 pm which is not an ideal timeframe 😂 By the time it’s 8 pm I’m crawling to bed but if anyone has any tricks to fall back asleep I am all ears!

Is someone able to help me navigate the Notes App? It’s fandom impresses me but I can’t figure out how to use it other than basic lists? What’s the secret I’m missing?

Wanting to plan a family trip to Costa Rica with multiple families. Suggestions for where to stay, food recs for picky “kids menu” eaters, and any sort of things to do that are good for younger kids/kids that might whine on a hike but could handle a zip line 😂 Thanks Rec League peeps!

Niche request but does anyone have any estate sale etiquette tips? Or the most efficient transport system (basket/box/ large tote) for hauling items around while you shop? A Hulken seems unwieldy… maybe those collapsible crates?
