Truthfully, I didn’t know all of these, and I use Dropbox all the time. May have to give a few of these tricks a try as well, especially using it to request files from someone else. I had not thought of that.
Are you a Dropbox user? Have you used all of these?
Do yourself, or anyone you know who is in an abusive relationship, male or female because men do get abused too despite the article’s title, a favor and go read this article about how tracking software can easily be used to locate people. Go ahead, I’ll wait…. Now, let’s talk about mobile technology. You know…
“The Brussels bombings left cellphone networks strained, causing officials to advise the public to use social networks to communicate with friends and loved ones. They also advised against streaming audio or video to avoid overloading the local Internet.” I was in London the morning this happened, with a class consisting of folks from a few…
As someone who has worked remotely since mid-2019, I have appreciated the number of ways my life is less expensive for a while.
That was before the recent bout of inflation, though. How much more am I saving by driving infrequently, not paying for parking or public transit, not needing to buy new business clothes, and eating the food I have in my house for lunch every day?
This was not insignificant in 2019 when I made the change. In 2022 that has to be much more than it was.
So, when you’re contemplating your return to the office strategy, are you calculating the pay cut you’re forcing on all of your employees, and how many of them can’t actually afford that?
But notice what is missing from all of this advice? Any actual science. Or, for that matter, any interviews with the thousands of people who actually do the same thing, and aren’t nearly as successful. Sure, maybe Jeff Bezos gets up every day at 5 AM, goes for a run, then schedules some deep-think time, all before he even checks email. Do you really think it you or I did that, that would make us as successful as Jeff Bezos? I guarantee you, his sleep schedule and morning routine is similar to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people around the world, who do not have lives that we would want to emulate. But we don’t read those stories, because no one cares.
On the other hand, in order for a lot of these productivity hacks to have ant scientific fact behind them, we would have to look at those people and see how maybe it’s not the morning routine that makes Bezos worth a gazillion dollars, it was something else entirely.
But then, those articles are much harder to write and would involve a lot more work, and even admit that you can’t hack your way to a billion dollars in success. We wouldn’t want to do anything like that, would we?
I can’t say that I’m surprised by the announcement that Bloglines will be shutting down. Once upon a time, the service was one of the first to offer a web-based RSS reader, as opposed to a local client that polled RSS feeds for updates. As someone who uses quite a number of machines, that was…
