Hello, Monday!

First day of the week – make it count in 2025.

A special s/o to Coach Mackenzie and Kate (who know me better than I know myself sometimes) for mailing this amazing journal to keep me stay grounded in 2025 (I hired them when I had a health scare. Without their help? Who knows where I would be right now)

Here are the three articles that caught my eye (usually, there’s one on how tech impacts the entertainment industry but I didn’t find an interesting one today)

1. Either the algorithm knows you (iPhone, Spotify etc). Or it really doesn’t: link
2. Here’s how Levi’s used the algorithm to figure out what you want to wear next: link and
3. This is an interesting way to create your own brand using everyday objects like a Playmobile figurine: link

Don’t forget to go outside if it’s sunny where you live (make sure to wear warm clothes if it’s winter where you live).

I love you.
