This week, the boys sit down with author/podcaster/ poop connoisseur Harry Marks to talk about converting analog into digital and where to keep all that... stuff. We also announce the winner of the Day One giveaway and (of course) spend time in our oft-discussed teen slang vertical.

Changing My Journaling Habit | Three Staples

My Therapy Journal, states that journaling "provides significant benefits to not only one's psychological well being, but also one's physical health and physiological functioning. Several researchers, for example, have shown that people who journal report having significantly less distress, feel less depressed, and have an overall better mood. Additionally, individuals also report that journaling changes the way they behave towards and around other people. Other studies have found that people who journal for extended periods of time (months) also report an increase in emotional well-being, a better day-to-day mood, and fewer symptoms of depression."
