I love the new goal arc in Pedometer++. It’s a good reference to the Apple Watch’s fitness rings, but distinct and easier to fit onscreen. But what I like most is the visual of effort required to complete your goal.

Started: Margo’s Got Money Troubles S1E1, The Hungry Ghost 📺
\nYo! I didn’t realize that Elle Fanning voiced the audiobook of this that I read a couple months ago! She stars as the lead character, and it’s a really nice bit of continuity. Based on the first episode, it’s gonna be a great show. 👌

\nThat tracks with what I see online. Someone’s life looks better than yours on Instagram and suddenly you’re either tearing yourself down or posting something designed to make them feel worse about theirs. You see someone’s project launch and instead of starting your own, you either convince yourself you’re not good enough or you start picking holes in what they’ve built. Both responses come from the same uncomfortable place. Neither helps you.
