like roto-rooter for your inbox

Two of my biggest peeves? Wasting time and digital clutter.

I'm the kind of person who:

turns podcast episodes into transcriptions so I can skim the episode highlights instead of spending 90 minutes tethered to my headphones
watches youtube tutorials and webinars at 2x speed so I can get to the info nuggets faster (give it a shot - most people don't sound like chipmunks until at least 3x speed).
delights in declogging other people's inboxes (it's my go-to party trick. I once shaved 60,000 emails off of my friend's phone in under 10 minutes with my special filter hack. I'm like roto-rooter for your inbox).
defrosts the chicken in the microwave at 2x power just to make dinner faster (that one I may need to revisit. No one likes rubbery chicken).

And one of my favorite perks when working with clients is showing them how them how they can fix their own stressful time leaks through tech.

get by with a little help from...

Between the DMs from friends sharing stories of outrageously bad-behaving clients (shoutout to anyone who's dealing with customer support these days - people are WILD) and unintentionally getting myself into a petty social media spat (my WordPress friends will understand), it's one of those weeks where you wonder what the heck is going on with people. But a few much needed deep conversations reminded me of the good that comes out of regular human interaction (not to mention what you gain when...

lemme save you some time

Nothing drives me more nuts than the little things that slow you down. Like when I discovered this week in the middle of a design deadline that my keyboard shortcuts weren't working.I've been a web designer for almost 2 decades - these quick keys are ingrained in my head. Losing them meant I was moving at turtle pace.After a protracted youtube search, I discovered the fix. Turns out when I set up my new computer the other week I needed to change a system preference to turn on my function...

bench worthy

I'm pretty sure I think about benches more than the average person. My favorite running trail has an wobbly old wooden one, perched on top of a hill with killer unobstructed city river views. Every time I pass by, I think "that's a great spot for my ashes." Slightly morbid, but who wouldn't want an eternally great view with daily dog visitors? Anytime I see a bench with a commemorative plaque, I have to stop and read it. The other week as we hiked inside the DC Smithsonian Zoo (we're suckers...
