| You have to beat your mind to the punch. |
| Humans are natural-born procrastinators because our old brain wants to protect us from potential danger or discomfort. So, when faced with an uncomfortable situation, our brain springs into action and suggests we do it later. |
| While some people are able to override this reaction, many cannot and researchers believe that around 20% are chronic procrastinators. |
| The good news is that podcast host, author, motivational speaker and former lawyer Mel Robbins has a solution that can help many people bypass the procrastination impulse and get things done. She calls it the 5-Second Rule. |

| All she wanted to know was the breed. |
| A dog owner in New York City named Cathy had a touching reaction after learning that her rescue dog, Wilee, has a brother who looks just like him. Four years ago, she got Wilee’s DNA tested through Embark because he’s a unique-looking rescue and wanted to know his specific mix. |
| “He is a mix of chow chow, Pomeranian, American Staffordshire terrier and many more,” Cathy told Upworthy. “He is a super mutt!” |
| A few months later, Embark began sending her profiles of dogs they found to be Wilee’s family members. Since then, Cathy has learned that he has two sisters and a brother, Nic. What’s incredible about the siblings is that the girls are solid-colored, but Nic is the spitting image of Wilee. |

| Their finger twitching looks random, but WOW is it impressive. |
| In the age of calculators and smartphones, it’s become less necessary to do math in your head than it used to be, but that doesn’t mean mental math is useless. Knowing how to calculate in your head can be handy, and if you’re lucky enough to learn mental abacus skills from a young age, it can be wicked fast as well. |
| Video of students demonstrating how quickly they can calculate numbers in their head are blowing people’s minds, as the method is completely foreign for many of us. The use of a physical abacus isn’t generally taught in the United States, other than perhaps a basic introduction to how it works. But precious few of us ever get to see how the ancient counter gets used for mental math. |

| Kristen Wiig made an epic return to “Saturday Night Live” this week. |
| Kristen Wiig made an epic return to “Saturday Night Live” this week, and along with bringing back her iconic “Aunt Linda” character, she might have created a whole new fan favorite. |
| In a horror trailer reminiscent of an A24 film, Chloe Fineman and Molly Kearney work up the courage to take their first pilates class. They enter an eerily dark purple room where Wiig, playing a cult-leader Pilates instructor with a fondness for weird pet names, gives them the scariest workout of their life. |
