I've been doing weekly office hours for over 6 years now, and they are still my fave part of every week 🥰

Things I saw on my weekend walk. (Nature never ceases to amaze)

"Art" he calls it.

Just a foggy Friday morning on the Sunshine Coast

Who could possibly have foreseen this...

Been a while since I've had to go through customs... but some things never change

Today I received my very first payment for chef services rendered! Two retreats, four dinners per retreat plus a dessert on the closing night. It was so much fun, and not something I had planned, but was so unbelievably rewarding and fun!

Truthfully, I have already used Ben's guide to set up my consulting clients properly on Notion. This is a wildly comprehensive guide for anyone working with teams! Time to celebrate shipping!!!

Had a blast in this one-day Indian cooking class at the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver; @typeoneerror.com got it for us as a birthday gift! Their setup and processes are so dialled in, and the instructors are wonderful. Maybe i'll have to take some of their bread/pastry classes next 🤤

Work, shmerk. I'm using the new @notion.com Agent to automatically relate ingredients when I save recipes online 👩🏻‍🍳

Anyone watching the Make with Notion livestream? 👀 www.youtube.com/live/flg8dmK...

Look at these lil' guys! 🥹

Eventually my desire to have impact overtook my desire to stay small, safe, comfortable, and free of judgement.

Being conflict avoidant is not a badge of honour; you're just making things more challenging for everyone around you who is bending over backwards trying to understand your silence, indirect cues, or mixed messages. Being honest and direct is a life skill truly worth cultivating.

A very friendly morning visitor

Here's my take: the search for the “perfect” productivity system is keeping you stuck. Pretty much every "system" teaches the same fundamental behaviors, just wrapped in different terminology. notionmastery.com/the-universa...

I saw someone genuinely irritated that Taylor Swift fans are having some moments of joy these last couple of days despite the horrors of the world, I want to reassure that person that when the Taylor Swift fans are done having their joy the horrors will still be there, don't worry, they can catch up

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Ben just released his first album! Buddy is like, "I'm going to start making music." And then just made a whole freakin album in just over a year! And it's SO GOOD!!

Celebrating 8 years married to @typeoneerror.com / 13 together 💞

Notion added conditional colors 🤩 A small feature with a big impact. If the task is a "win the day" task, highlight it:

A very thorough sharing of psilocybin-assisted therapeutic experience from @fortelabs.bsky.social . Some things you can't heal even with a lifetime of therapy... fortelabs.com/blog/mushroo...

"edit: never mind, i figured it out"

Artistry is EI (expressive intelligence—an intelligence developed by creatively exploring meaning-making and feeling) rather than the process of producing an artifact of skill (technical talent). Technical reproducibility doesn’t capture the aura of artistic expression. nulla machina nisi cerebrum

What a difference a month makes...

The hardest part of doing invisalign is not snacking all day long. I am mourning my identity as a pro snacker; I know it's probably for the best, but wow change is hard 😥

If you DM me to ask if you can ask me a question, I will not reply. Please just ask the question; I'm not going to chase it out of you. Always better to shoot your shot and just ask your question.

It's summer time, which means lunch is now served with flowers:

"Corporations, on the one hand, are using AI for social good as a shield to say, look, we are working on fundamental rights and sustainability. But on the other hand, they’re providing the technology that is fueling war. It’s hypocrisy." - @abeba.bsky.social thebulletin.org/2025/07/ai-f...

I once fought in a pillow fight league as Marie Slamtoinette. We trained for months, developed wrestler-style intros and costumes (I made mine!), then fought in a refereed fight at a bar in Vancouver. People could take bets which raised money for a women's shelter. I won my fight against Sue Nami!

Spent an hour writing a thoughtful reply to someone in r/ADHD subreddit struggling with meal planning (my special interest!) sharing a dozen diff tips, and ways to make it meditative rather than overwhelming. Auto-removed: "We do not allow discussion about cannabis, supplements, or drugs." ??

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Notion recently launched their new Feeds view. How are you using it? Here are some use cases and ideas for you: 1. Weekly reports via visual journals

Seeing this reminded me of a pattern I've noticed among passionate LLM/Gen AI advocates on here: A number of them are bad at talking to people, in a weird and specific way.

Just a little gardening update 🥰 🌱

Ben is such a good follow for smart, reasoned, often challenging takes on AI. In a world of AI hype, he’s the opposite

🌊 Friendly reminder of the the Notion release hype cycle: 1. X changes everything! Blood for the Notion gods! 2. Hmm, X is great, but I'm struggling with not being able to Y. 3. I can't believe they shipped this unfinished without Y. 4. Lack of Y is actively hurting me and my family.

WHY does my brain work like this?

HOLY this is disturbing. Do you use ChatGPT? Check this out:

What do you get someone who never wants anything for their birthday? Something weird, creative, and homemade. I made Ben a "monthly masculine optimization delivery" subscription box (complete with fake brand) based on a ridiculous/hilarious skit from Andrew Rousso: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wT_...

Full agree

I’m a simple woman. I just want to make and eat tasty things every day.

Made a super simple seasonal eating dashboard in @notion.com that dynamically shows a list of seasonal crops. Do the setup work once to identify which months a crop is in season in your region, and the crops appear dynamically each month: (this was a request from a restaurateur!)

Hey, come hang out with us next week, at Jessica Abel's FREE virtual conference. Day 1 is all about making space to think expansively and take control of your time. I'll be sharing some strategies for how to be 'Productive by Nature' 🍃 inspired by permaculture principles🍃 tinyurl.com/mpautonomous

Awolnation concert was epic. Waited years for them to finally come to Vancouver 🥹

I appreciate this satire from @johncutle.fish , mostly because I couldn't tell it was satire...

This from @mariepoulin.com highlights how learning journeys are so much more than getting answers in the form of knowledge from a machine. What changes in you when your body betrays you? When injury prevents you from progressing the way you desire? The connection between limitation and creativity?

My American friends are asking me how I feel about the election: the answer is incredibly relieved and a bit optimistic. It's nice to have a strong leader that doesn't sow division, and actually believes kindness is a virtue. Time will tell, but I have hope. 🇨🇦
