We’ll also discuss our initial impressions and how to troubleshoot some of the issues we encountered when we upgraded to the subscription service for 1Password.

In an email to customers, 1Password announced a Thanksgiving sale for standalone license users and we finally decided to dig in. (See what I did there?) At the time of this post, you may still be able to get the great deal they offer on 1Password for Families. If you can find that email message, it provides a promotional link and explains how you can trade in the standalone license and pay nothing until September of next year. That’s a long enough time to evaluate whether or not you want to afford the $60 annual fee or cancel the trial and go back to using the standalone version. At any time, you can try it out free for 30 days: https://1password.com/sign-up/
One way to practice self care and carve out some space for yourself is by listening to podcasts, audiobooks, or music. Do you have “books on tape” (on CDs) that you forgot about? Now would be a good time to get them off the discs and into your music library. From there you can sync them to your Apple Watch or other wearable device and pair it with bluetooth headphones to give your phone some alone time.
Here are some great mental health podcasts:

What a great discussion on AirPods and 1Password. I have been considering the Beats versus the AirPods. The Beats seem to have all the features I want plus being significantly cheaper. So I will still have to think about it.
The 1Password discussion has me reconsidering the application and setting up a family plan but I will have to discuss it with the family to see if they are willing.
Great discussion on both and even though I am a behind on my podcasts it was still timely.
