It’s a new year and while some of us are yelling, “Yay, productivity!” many others of us are saying, “Productivity? In this economy?” Yes, this is a self-help productivity book but I want to offer a reframe: I like to apply “productivity” hacks to do less of what I don’t want to do and more of what I do want to do. For example, using productivity advice to spend less time in email and more time…

Critic’s Rating: 2.8 / 5.02.8I don’t know if any show that premiered this television season has been harder to figure out than Rescue: HI-Surf. There’s a decent show in there, and we get flashes of it when they lean into the action and even when they choose the right moments to focus on the romantic entanglements, which are the only part of the show that gives off Baywatch vibes. But overall, the show has failed to truly gain traction because it still isn’t 100% sure what it wants to be. And that begs the question: Is what the series is…

When you hear the name Edgar Allan Poe, you probably think of ghosts, gloom and death. Though he only lived to be 40 years old, the stories Edgar Allan Poe left behind have certainly outlived him.

Critic’s Rating: 3.8 / 5.03.8Some mysteries and secrets keep the romance alive, but other times, it can drive your partner insane. That type of secret was the case in When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 3, as Rosemary grew more worried about what Lee was hiding.
