Depth of sleep is key, not duration.

Genuine question for those who have left Meta in the dust:

How did y'all address with family members the topic of "we're not going to be on Meta anymore & would like to switch to insert non-Meta messaging app

And if you went this route, what apps did y'all choose as extended families

I personally don't have a family chat thread in Messegner, but I'm recently in reunion I'm an adoptee with bio-fam who are relatively active on FB. I'm not leaving the app yet, but I feel like that could happen at some point...

How to Rediscover Curiosity: The 7 Keys to Making Life Fun Again

In this article I highlight what I believe to be the 7 Keys to Making Life Fun Again. For those who enjoyed my video on feeling like a kid again, I think you'll really enjoy this article.

When I was at university, my main goal was to get my butt to Japan, so I took Japanese courses that were way above my head.

I whined to my professor one day about the difficulty of a particular assignment and she said something really wise that turned me around:

"There are two kinds of people in this world: There are the whiners who complain, and then there are those who get the work done. Which kind are you"

I stood there in awe, quietly watched her leave, and then proceeded to get myself a tutor.

I studied so hard after that, the professor selected me to be the recipient of the coveted Monbusho Scholarship to study in Japan for a year.

The whole experience made me a solution-oriented person and a believer in hard work.

Right now the US is in trouble. We all are in trouble and I ask you: What kind of person are you Are you the kind to whine & complain & be the one that always tells people "it can't be done" Or are you the kind to seek & find solutions and collaborate with other solution-oriented folk

Which kind are you

Which do you want to be

If you want to be a complainer or a doubter, kindly step aside and let the fire crew work to put out the flames before your house burns down.

I just got a from saying that my 365 subscription is going up by about 30% a month - Since I don't use Office any more, and I am 100% paying for (which I hate!) I may as well just switch to something else if it's cheaper.

So - Anyone got any on providers

I was told not to touch and with a bargepole and I don't like much.

After a year on Linux, I would appreciate any shared experience around the feasibility of shifting my business away from Windows. My critical needs are:

- Access 5 email/calendar accounts with full functionality
- Access multiple GDrive/OneDrive storage
- Reliable Zoom and Teams performance
- Be able to edit/present PowerPoint & Google decks

I'm aware I can use web apps in most cases, but keen to hear from anyone who has taken similar steps.

I am working on rebuilding one of my communities. Originally it was a small fanfiction thing but as I have another fan related domain I decided to make this one a Dark Fiction site and community.

Thing is that Dark Fiction can get... Dark.

So while I am working on the ideas and which software to use for community, I need to figure out what is allowed for rules and discussion.

Obviously moderation would need to be far more lax than say Mastodon.art or anything from Europe. You can't start banning everyone who talks about dark topics if they follow that topic to its darker logical conclusion.

Obviously Harrassment, KYS statements, Actual Racism, and a few other things should be banned. But discussion of how a racists bigoted character might address something shouldn't be.

I live in the US so 1st Amendment is pretty open ended.

Figured I would put this out to discuss cause it is such a disconnect between what most people would generally expect from an instance due to the subject matter.

Book: Read This Before Our Next Meeting by Al Pittampalli Shared

One mediocre meeting after another quietly corrodes our organization, and every day we allow it to happen. Culture change occurs when a transformational idea spreads to enough people. Like a virus that makes its way from person to person, spreading exponentially faster, so can the Modern Meeting. The status quo must go. Now. Before its too late. 1. Meet only to support a decision that has already been made. 2. Move fast. End on schedule. 3. Limit the number of attendees. 4. Reject the unprepared. 5. Produce committed action plans. 6. Refuse to be informational. Read the memo, its mandatory. 7. Work with brainstorms, not against them. CUT THIS OUT AND BRING IT TO OUR NEXT MEETING.

Life Changing Anime Quotes #5

This is the fith and final anime quote that I highlight in my blog. This one heavily resonates with me as someone who struggles with pessimism, it's so easy to get lost in the storm and to think you'll never see the sun again.

Live life like you mean it.

How to Remember What You Read via from Brain Food Shared

It happens all the time. You read an amazing book, one so packed with wisdom that you think its going to change your life forever. Thenit doesnt. Why Because when youre finally in a situation where you could use its insights, youve completely forgotten them. Time is our most valuable resource, so we shouldnt waste it. The investment we make in reading should have a positive, lasting impact on our lives.

Consuming information is not the same as acquiring knowledge. No idea could be further from the truth.
