Each week, I sift through a massive amount of content to find the top ten resources that help you live your best life. It goes without saying that there’s a ton of mediocre click-bait that’s not worth your time.

Office Space
The best part of my work life is that I can do it from anywhere, and conversely NOT have to go to an office. Even though “flexible location” seems like a tempting and highly coveted benefit, though, it’s not a good fit for everyone.
