Productivity & Focus Workshop Replay »
This week, we hosted our first, live workshop for Sweet Setup readers. There were several hundred who joined us for live the workshop, and it was a blast!
The goal of this workshop was for everyone to walk away with two things:
- Knowing the importance of a creative habit.
- Be ready and able to improve your own routine.

How to customize the interface in CARROT Weather »
One of my favorite features in CARROT Weather is the ability to customize the interface. I am not as concerned with the temperature as I am the precipitation chance at any given time, so being able to control what it displays is a welcome option.
