So, I’ve got 5 camping / backpacking trips planned for 2023. I am so ready to get outdoors. I also made a few updates to my outdoor gear (new sleeping pad, solo tent, and a new pack). Thanks, in large part, to Steven Smith and his YouTube channel which I’ve been binge watching over the past few weeks instead of going to bed on time.

USB-C wall outlet →
One of my favorite little upgrades in our kitchen was to get this wall outlet that also has two USB-C plugs in it. We can plug in / charge any of our devices without a wall wart. And it’s got enough power (30W) to even charge our iPads and MacBooks.

The TSS Notion Habit Tracker →
Habit Trackers are vastly underrated. Why? Because results come from consistency over time. Any singular, small action that is done once will not produce any meaningful results in your life. This is true for good actions as well as bad actions. Using a habit tracker is one of the best ways to stay focused and on track with the small actions that drive meaningful results in your life. (If you’re not a Notion user, we also have a habit tracker built in to our 2023 Planner.)
