Dry, beleaguered honey cake is no way to kick off 5787. This best-in-category classic adapted from Marcy Goldman is the kind you make every year — deeply spiced, great crumb, and very cozy. It gets better as it has time to rest, honestly, just like me. smittenkitchen.com

You can turn your worst stress into a breakthrough using the Creative Desperation framework. Here is the exact method: 🧵 Related

We squander too much of our free time feeling guilty that we’re not working. In 1 of every 7 moments of fun and relaxation, people feel bad that they're not being “productive”—robbing themselves of joy and rejuvenation. Leisure is not a bug. It’s a feature of a good life. Related

Their words
one quick answer to the question of what's the most successful strategy is the earlier you can stop that process, the better. And so, in the first place, don't get yourself into a situation where you're going to be anxious or guilty or sad or whatever emotion you want to avoid.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
