Sometimes you're not ready and that's a good thing

Plus some exceptional index cards

By Grier

Hi everyone,

Now that Labor Day is behind us, some sage advice from a Rec Leaguer's grandfather to carry you into fall. Our favorite from his collection: sometimes you’re not ready and that's a good thing.

It helps to have perspective. This archive of 3000+ vintage annual reports is a good place to start.

Now these are some exceptional index cards.

Do you have a freelance job? A simple scattergraph of when to say yes and no to work from a freelance journalist who’s been at it for a while. Wait a minute, you could write this out on the index cards!

Thinking about rearranging your house? Like playing board games? Why not do both at the same time.

Looking for a way to unwind that doesn’t involve alcohol? These mats are all over Rec League. Jess finally tried one. The results are in.
