Worth a Mention: Collection I
Worth a Mention: Collection I
With the current (and ongoing) stay-at-home order, I’ve found myself with a lot more time to devote to thinking about our business, rather than doing our business. I vacillate daily on how I feel about this change in focus. On most days, this shift in perspective feels like an unexpected gift that is refreshing and incredibly valuable. On other days — when my mind seems to flitter from one thought to the next — this time devoted to thinking feels both futile and unnecessarily expansive.
I’m still working through how to embrace the emptiness of this time in a way that feels both free-flowing and productive. In the meantime, I’ve decided to start compiling a weekly list (because what makes you feel productive if not a list?) of all the things I feel are “worth a mention.” My inaugural collection, below.
With near perfect timing, I began this book at the start of the week. What I thought would be a fluffy read turned into something much more profound. I’m only partially through, and already I’ve found my perspective on “productivity” and the value of “doing nothing” shifting.
I’ve been circling this set for for months, and with 15% off it seems like the right time to finally pull the trigger (not to mention, it’s now more important than ever to support small businesses).
Whenever I go searching for something very specific, I inevitably stumble across something way more interesting. Today I went hunting for vintage chairs, and instead found myself here. (Bonus: he’s also worked with one of my most favorite people.) I’m definitely adding him to my list of people to watch.
This is the perfect time to sit down and breathe it out (and in). Finding your seat on something that’s aesthetically pleasing might give you the encouragement you need.
Last month I removed Instagram from my phone, and felt few pangs of regret. Instead, I turned to relics of the digital past to fulfill my craving for design inspiration. Although sartorial-leaning, her curation is always at the top of my bookmarked list.
Sometimes you just need to go low-brow, and this is the place to start. If nothing else, it will make your own life feel a bit less chaotic.
