  • Pulled a healthy

    There are some mornings you get up, feel so under the weather from illness that you can’t face the world. Not to mention, you shouldn’t be spreading your infliction around to the rest of the workforce — so you ring in ill. Spending the day resting and recuperating instead. What if the opposite were true and you could pull a healthy? I stumbled on this idea as a meme reel on Instagram, but I think they are on to something.

  • The Struggle

    Whenever anyone asks me how I write so much, my default answer used to be because I read so much. The words from other people producing content I enjoyed, be it on the web or in a book, never failed to give my pause of thought and inspiration to write them out. Not all of them were published, but I got to the stage where I was constantly putting things on my blog — currently, not so much.

  • Visit More Blogs

    Evan Sheehan in their post RSS?: I wonder what the alternative looks like. A tool that helps you remember the sites you like to visit so that you can browse them at your leisure, but that doesn’t create a commitment to read—or at least look at—absolutely everything that is published on all of those sites. At first, this seemed like a crazy idea, but the more I thought about it, the more it made perfect sense.

  • Fast Living

    Leo Babauta saying Become Quiet So You Can Listen: …it’s a very human tendency to want to be busy, productive, filling every space with something useful or entertaining. I’m one of those suckers. Those people who accuse the modern world of always being to blame for everything wrong until proven otherwise. This is one of those posts that makes me think about a small throwaway point and change my view.

  • Turning Words Into Your Own

    Alan Jacobs with an interesting note on plagiarism: …see something in a digital book or article that they want to use, copy the relevant text, and then paste it into Word with the intention of editing it later to in some sense make it their own. Alan’s note covers controversy in academic publishing and the plagiarism that could be caused by sloppy writing and the pressures of education. However, I spent the whole time thinking about blogging and linking posts.

  • Not A Knowledge Problem

    The reasons that have sparked this thought process are not sharable; however, it relates to quite a few things in our lives, and society at large, that I thought it worth sharing. It relates to the often used delaying tactic to action is the amount of knowledge we have. That we need to know more before we get started — leading, of course, to inaction. There are always times when this is the case, but more often than not it is simply a logical fallacy.

  • Other App Stores

    Sebastian de With, on Threads: This is apparently incomprehensible to some people on this website, but to many people it’s actually a good and beneficial feature that Apple doesn’t let you install software on your iPhone from anywhere else. It has been a while since I paid any attention to Apple payments and other things going on in the developer world. Not because I don’t care, but because I don’t really have an opinion and what I do think as a user might not always be very popular.

  • High vs Low-Energy Tasks

    This week, I’ve had two lengthy meetings at the end of the working day. Important, interesting meetings, but exhausting, and it brought to mind the often overlooked skill of scheduling things for the best possible time. The instinct for those convening with others is to arrange a meeting when they have time. The first thing the participants know about it is a calendar invite with green or red buttons (and occasionally a yellow), with very little thought about the other things going on around them and the capacity to be at their best at the scheduled time.

  • 🔗 The blessing of uncertainty

    Uncertainty is uncomfortable. And, for many people, uncertainty not only feels uncomfortable, it feels wrong.

    The human brain doesn’t like open loops. It makes every effort to close them, some times making huge logical leaps, for its own good. There’s a skill to becoming comfortable with uncertainty but in some contexts you unfortunately never will.

  • 🔗 The End of the Computer Mouse

    I spent an internship in the financial-services industry operating a graphical user interface entirely with keyboard commands, and it was fine.

    Anyone that’s worked in a CPW owned company looks back on using PIE fondly, it might even still be in use today.

    But learning the secrets was a nightmare. Whereas using a mouse is something seemingly ingrained in everyone - that and swiping a touchscreen.
