Something For Nothing

Are you getting all you can from your library?

Libraries are quiet pillars of our communities that often get overlooked. And that’s unfortunate because libraries are one of the few places that you can truly get something for nothing.

On today’s show I’m outlining 7 goods and services you likely never knew you could get for free from your library.

 

Here’s a preview:

[9:00] Exactly how much you’re paying for multiple video streaming services (plus, how much the library can help you save)

[16:30] Stephanie’s favorite hack for cooking magazine lovers

[20:00] How to get the most out of your Library Of Things

[22:00] Museum tickets and your child’s holiday Experience gift, BAM

The Cost of Constant Connection

In this era of relentless connectivity, taking an exit ramp from our digital lives has never looked more inviting. In fact, emerging science is now confirming what many of us feel: Smartphones are draining our cognitive reserves, shattering our focus, and keeping us in a state of low-level chronic anxiety.

To see if there’s a better way, reporter Courtney Lindwall shelved her iPhone for a $45 Nokia flip phone. Courtney is on the show today to discuss  the "dumb phone" movement, the logistical friction of navigating an app-dependent world, and why research says our brains are so desperate for a break.

Here's a preview:

[7:00] Continuous partial attention, instinctual muscle memory, and other ways in which our smartphones are working against us

[9:00] Gray scale? screen limits? Here's why the tools and tricks don't work for the vast majority of us

[14:00] Thoughts on our emotional attachments to our phones—and the emotional experiences they provide

[22:00] The psychological benefits of embracing a bit more "friction"

[33:00] Our brains are malleable, and we get used to a new normal quite quickly. Lean into that!
