Pro tip: I switched to a new LED light for extractions and the change in my client's skin after two weeks was wild.

I had a regular client with stubborn blackheads on her nose that just wouldn't clear up with my usual routine. I started using a blue and red combo LED light for five minutes during her facials, focusing on that area. After just two sessions, the difference was huge. Her pores looked way smaller and the congestion was almost gone. She even sent me a picture a week later saying her makeup sat smoother. Has anyone else seen faster results adding LED into their extraction steps?

My neighbor's kid couldn't read the score on my new app mockup

I was showing off a phone screen I made for a local bowling league app, and my neighbor's ten year old squinted and said 'what does that number say?'. The score was light gray on a white background. I mean, it looked clean to me, but I guess it was a total fail. I had to hold the phone right up to his face. Has anyone else had a kid point out a contrast problem you totally missed?

My kid asked me why my crane doesn't have a seatbelt, and I had to think for a minute.

I was explaining my job to my 8-year-old last week, and he just looked at me and said, 'But dad, if it's so high up, why don't you wear a seatbelt like in the car?' and honestly, that simple question about fall protection from a child hit me harder than any safety briefing ever has.

Rant: I read that 70% of people who set yearly goals forget them by February

Found this stat in a blog post from a life coach's site last week. It made me realize how pointless most goal-setting advice is if the system fails that fast. I've always been told to make big, bold plans, but maybe we need to focus on tiny daily habits instead. What's a small change you actually kept up with for a full year?

Got caught in a downpour right after finishing a driveway in Tampa last month, and the surface washout was brutal.

We had just put the final trowel on a 20 by 30 foot slab when the sky opened up, so I grabbed a roll of plastic sheeting from the truck and my crew held it down around the edges for 20 minutes until it passed, saving the finish but man, what's your go-to move for a surprise rain hit?

Tried working from a co-working space in Medellin for a month, my productivity actually went down.

Warning: I think a lot of people are setting up their future logs wrong

I was looking at a friend's bullet journal and realized she had her future log set up as just a list of months with a few notes. The problem is, she had no room for anything past July and was already cramming stuff in the margins. I switched to a simple two-page, six-month spread for my own journal last year and it finally gave me enough space for everything. How do you guys lay yours out so you don't run out of room?

Spent a whole day trying to get a drawer slide mounted flush

The cabinet carcass had a slight bow I didn't catch, so the slide kept binding. Took me 6 hours of shimming and adjusting to get it right. Anyone have a better method for checking for twist before you start installing hardware?
