Welcome to Restless Egg, your weekly grab bag of distractions.

Distraction has a bad rap these days. We’re always being told or sold ways to eliminate it. But not all distractions are created equal. Watching endless Instagram reels on celebrity plastic surgery? Bad distraction. Impulse shopping? Probably not going to help you. On the other hand, watching a goose waddle along shore? Listening to a child’s tuneless humming? Fortifying, refreshing, and good. Restless Egg is your place to notice the goose, hear the humming, look up from the screen (albeit at another screen), and take in the world. 

On a larger scale, distractions can be a haven from divisive conversations. “Look at that!” someone says, and just for a moment people of wildly differing opinions turn heads as one. Distractions have a magic ability to bring people together, and maybe Restless Egg creates a small space in your inbox for human connection. Because that’s the thing about eggs: in any recipe, they’re good binders.
