Your own personal digital travel journal of sorts, you let google maps do all the work for you. i love it for detailed shots of gates and stained glass work, but also great for those beautiful cemeteries or skyline views that you didn’t have enough time to take a picture of. Just have to remember the street intersections!

As a lover of PI.FYI/getting/giving unsolicited recommendations for all things, I recently started sending my google maps pins to people I see traveling to places I've marked a few things. What's better than getting a recco from somebody real and not some dumb watered down sponsored Time Out article about 'Top 5 most instagrammable places in Seoul' etc etc etc. Ew. Here's a list I made while working in London for a month. There is what I like to think a good range from obvious trendy wine bars down to things I stumbled past while ambling around. Plus I think that giving good travel recs gives good travel karma!

saving restaurants, parks, streets, and places in neat little lists and feasting your eyes on the pins when you zoom in and out of the city 🙂↔️

Whenever I discover a new place to visit, I immediately add it to a list.
It feels like I'm collecting an inventory of places and it helps reduce stagnation in my life.
Bonus: it's a great tool for making plans with indecisive friends and perfect to share with tourists!

Sorry but getting a good glass or little tchotchke from a bar is the most fulfilling exhilarating experience

this is a rule i like to employ for myself, as a chronic procrastinator, mostly in regards to my knitting but also for many other things in life: job applications, finishing a book, framing something, etc. These things become big projects in our mind, in need of completion, usually making them into these large and daunting monsters! The shame and guilt we put our ourselves and our procrastinations is so toxic and unhelpful, so instead of having these things sitting around reminding us of our inability to complete them, just get rid of it entirely. Put the project away, completely out of sight, throw our the little craft, put the book on the bookshelf. these time limits are not meant to apply pressure or increase urgency but like an expiration date, like closing all your tabs on your computer but IRL. If i’ve had a project sitting around unfinished for more than a couple months, a year, etc. no matter how much I like it and know i could finish it, i take it apart, throw it out, whatever. if it is meant to be you can always start it again, from a place of mental clarity and renewed enthusiasm! Don’t add it to your physical and mental load, just get rid of it 💖
