The nervousness before going in front of an audience is natural, and inherited from our ancestors. This brings to mind two points:

1. You can learn to move past it by understanding that the fear is probably overblown in your head. Truly, your mind is in fight or flight mode to protect you from dying, when embarrassment is the worst actual outcome.

2. When you don’t feel at all nervous, it may be an indication that you don’t care at all what the audience thinks, that is why your brain isn’t being triggered, there is no potential harm. As a trainer, I know that is the day I need to find something else to do for a living.

Linked: How to Use RSS Feeds to Boost Your Productivity

RSS is not gone, quite the opposite. Most people, however, don’t use RSS subscriptions like they did in the old Google Reader days, but RSS is running underneath a whole lot of stuff that we all use every day.

But, I also want to point out that there are a TON of good reasons to use an RSS reader now. Maybe more than there were when Google still had one. As it is, we’ve sort of grown into this habit of letting social media inform us. If there’s some topic we want to know about, we’ll follow some accounts and let the algorithm decide for us what we need to see.

Look how well that’s working out.
