Summary

All of Sarah and Liz’s New Year momentum has been sucked away by Influenza A and Covid-19. To regain their sense of purpose, they’ve decided that January 16 will be their new New Year’s Day. In Take A Hike, they discuss how asking how decision making is made easier by asking yourself, “Is it a 10?” Pondering a rich dessert? Is it a 10? Contemplating a new side project? Is it a 10? Then they answer a Mailroom question about why there might be multiple projects about the same subject matter. Sarah shares a Hollywood Hack that will improve your smile — the Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0 toothbrush. Finally, Liz recommends Maid and Class, two gripping memoirs from writer Stephanie Land.
