Adulting the best way I know how: Creatively, Imperfectly, & with Untamed Curiosity.

Scheduling an Instagram video in @SproutSocial and prompted to select standard post or reel 😍😭 I was not expecting this level of excitement this morning!

[Sarah Ray @HeyitsSarahRay]

@SproutSocial Honestly, that Facebook is still top of consumers' list... And that YouTube is no. 2!

[Sarah Ray @HeyitsSarahRay]

Brb I'm nerding out with the data!

[Sprout Social @SproutSocial]

This is our ninth year of #trend forecasting with the Sprout Social Index: Social Media Trends for 2022 and Beyond

We surveyed over 1,000 U.S. consumers and 500 U.S. social marketers to understand how social has transformed.

Like, this has made my week. Every time I'm typing and need a beautiful em-dash — like right now, ah! — I remember the keyboard shortcut and smile!

[Sarah Ray @HeyitsSarahRay]

I have long been a fan of the em-dash. For so long, I've gone to Edit > Emojis & Symbols on Word or Type > Insert Special Character in InDesign to select the correct dash.

I JUST discovered Shift-Command-Dash works instead. #lifechanging

I've been meaning to get some new professional headshots but I can't take myself seriously enough. I just keep picturing a 90s album cover style shot of myself playing air guitar on my Apple Keyboard. That works, right?

Iceland tested reducing work weeks from 40 to 36 hours at the same pay.

2,500 people in offices, hospitals, police stations over 4 years: higher well-being and work-life balance, lower stress.

Across the board, productivity was sustained or increased.

Do you ever find yourself Googling "moving to Iceland"? 🙃 #worksmarternotharder

Why aren't we talking more about Pixar's LUCA? It doesn't look or sound like any film they've ever made. For kids, it's about being true to yourself. For adults, its metaphor about living in the closet is heartbreaking. A moving story served up with disarming charisma. Grade A.

HIRING: Expert playlist maker. Must understand my exact indescribable music moods and deliver the exact songs I never knew I wanted to hear.

[Sarah Ray @HeyitsSarahRay]

Seriously considering planning my best friend's baby shower on #Trello

Or should I take the opportunity to try a new tool? Monday? What else is out there?

My #GoogleSheet is amateur hour.

I learned a new term today: Camel Caps 🐪

This cookie was almost as sweet as saving our public lands and recreation areas! LWCF has invested more than $294 million in SC since 1965. Congress worked together this year to permanently reauthorize LWCF, now let’s fully fund it!

I've had a t-shirt around my pillow for three nights because I hosted a friend last week so my case and my spare are in the wash. Adulting is hard.
