• Gretchen: I’m very happy using my Memento Journal to organize the mementos I gathered from my summer travels to Japan, England, and Montana.

Quality Screen Time

Spotlight on a Tool

Elizabeth loves her Don’t Break the Chain Habit Tracker, and with Labor Day coming up on September 2, 2024, it’s a great time to consider one for yourself—for your work life. It can help you monitor daily work habits like starting your day with a clear plan, checking in with your team, and taking regular breaks.
