5 Things You Need to Know Today

We’re trying something new this week, and we have a feeling you might like it.

You’ve seen our 5 Things column, which gives you five helpful things to know every single Monday. Well, this week, you’ll get FIVE 5 Things columns – one for each day of the week – PLUS a bonus 5 Things for the weekend. Six for the price of one! It’s almost as good as getting six scoops of ice cream instead of one! Almost.

If you like the new 5 Things, let me know in the comments. If not, let me know that too!

So here goes: 5 things you need to know today – just today.
