Not your average participation trophy.

Real ribbons for our winners.

By Grier

Hi everyone,

Starting tomorrow, the winner of Rec of the Week will receive a real life beautiful prize ribbon via snail mail. Thousands of people are tuning into the app to vote on Rec of the Week every Thursday afternoon, so winning this is a big deal! Hang your best rec ribbon with pride!

And send pics! The Rec League Art Department worked shockingly hard on these :D @recleague.hq

Summer is just getting to the good part for some, but if you’re sending your kids back to school this week, start the school year off with calm, organized systems.

People on Rec League love taking notes with pen and paper, but not just any pen and paper. In fact, give “pens” a search on Rec League. You won’t be disappointed.

Not feeling motivated, try the inverse of a to-do list.

Parting wisdom from this first-time recommender’s high school Latin teacher: how to remember something as it comes to you just before falling asleep.
