A Year of Recommendations

In 2026, I’m starting a simple year-long project: 52 Recommendations.

One recommendation per week. About 100–150 words. No lists, no hype, no pretending I’ve “partnered” with anything. Just practical stuff I actually use or enjoy and think is worth passing on. A bag that’s held up longer than expected. A show that’s easy to throw on after a long day. A small habit that quietly makes life smoother.

The bar is straightforward. You should be able to read it and then go try the thing yourself. Buy it, watch it, use it, or skip it with enough info to decide quickly. If there’s a short story behind it, I’ll include it, but usefulness comes first.

One thing. Once a week. All year.
