It could overlap with PM when we talk about your time on a project.
Simon Sinek on Social Media and Addiction
by
https://youtu.be/3ev7GXzFTPg I think the “Millennial” thing makes many roll their eyes when they look at videos/blog posts/stuff like this. I do like the bent towards Science and dopamine. I’m happy that I’ve mostly disengaged from social media. Have you thought about your use of Social Media this way? Are you going to do anything about…
Better Blocker keeps you private
by
Better Blocker updated for iOS 12 and macOS Mojave. I use it on iOS and since I’m iOS first that’s mostly what matters for me. So much tracking and you can stop a bunch of it with Better Blocker
Tracking Goes Everywhere
by
While I love working at home, I also love the freedom to work from anywhere. I’m writing this sitting at a local coffee shop just down the road from my house. It’s literally a block of walking to get here. In many ways it’s been my favourite place to work for years. Not because it’s…
The New iPhones just don’t provide the value to justify the price point
by
Let’s get this out of the way, the new iPhones are crazy expensive. Sure many/most people never pay the actual ticket price, but they’re still crazy expensive. When I look at new purchases I always start by asking myself how much utility I get out of a device/thing. Do I get $1000 dollars of utility…
I Hate Twitter Threads and They Produce Little Value
by
“Your “thread” should have been a blog post… Yes. All of them. Every time.” – Rhoneisms I agree with Patrick, Twitter threads are a terrible use of your content writing. There are so many awesome Twitter threads out there. This one on making sure your work isn’t devalued during review time…solid gold. Unfortunately for the…
Blogging Isn’t Dead, You Just Don’t Value It
by
As many people have moved to Mastodon or Micro.blog because they feel Twitter sucks and Facebook is the devil, I’ve seen many discussions wondering if any social media platform is good? Blogging is usually brought up as what everyone really wants to come back, but most admit they don’t write. The big question is, why…
The “lazy” people we have lauded in the past
by
On Darwin: But at the same time, his days don’t seem very busy to us. The times we would classify as “work” consist of three 90-minute periods. If he had been a professor in a university today, he would have been denied tenure. If he’d been working in a company, he would have been fired…
So Author’s and Social Media
by
Hrm, need to send this one to my book coach. They tell me I must use social media to make book sales and this, from an author, contradicts that. Social media is not a way to grow your “fame”, it’s a reflection of your fame. Outside of a few outliers like Shit My Dad Says,…
Tom McFarlin – is social media good
by
Love many of the points here: Twitter seems to promote more negativity on all sides of a given issue. People tend to complain more, offer fewer solutions, and chastise one another more than they offer any alternative course of action. I don’t see how this can be a Good Thing. On Instagram: This results in…
Automated Journalling?
by
Chris Bowler writes about making journaling stick as a habit. While I love some of the advice, parts of it feel wrong to me. Yes, start small. Write down anything for the day. Doesn’t matter how long it is. Even just list the meals you had and if you liked them. I also agree fully…
