In 2016 they had a real problem with the friend-interaction algorithm that felt like social engineering - who sees whose content about particular topics and just in general. I felt like I was being relationship-funnelled; it was also the year that everyone seemed to be positively addicted

I'm really enjoying Toucan, but is there a way you can disable it for printing? I have an article I want to save and it's got plain-formatted German words throughout. (If they were highlighted it might help a little.)

I really like the idea too, but the explainer video and any other promo media really need to have age diversity, unless you are clear and upfront that the market segment served is young urban creative class.

But I only meditate sporadically, which means I don't get the benefits - unless running provides them instead (I don't run daily; ideally I should meditate on the days I don't run). I meditated almost every day for over a year, and started with a Zen course at a Buddhist temple years ago. I have listened to guided meditations on YouTube and Podcasts, but when I sit down to practice, I use a...

Many are enabled by default so I don't necessarily reject them but I don't pay attention to them either. The only welcome dings are text messages, AirBnB messages/bookings, WhatsApp messages, Messenger messages, and iCal alerts that I set up. Instagram DMs and Strava also send me banner/bubble notifications, and honestly I'm a sucker for the Strava ones, but I need to turn them off (and will do...

@bethstachenfeld It starts with "What about this kind of task is a chore or a struggle?" At the end of the convo: "Is there anything else we've missed / haven't talked about?"

This is EXACTLY the thing I would have wanted for my blogs from 1998 - 2003. Now, well, maybe I could put it in my way-too-unnoticed TinyLetter account at my vanity URL janesorensen.com…

I hope it has a preamble that discusses animal welfare and encourages people towards the vegetarian options. Cheap meat, cheap milk, and cheap eggs are definitively a source of great misery. As a vegetarian who buys organic milk and eggs and, often, cheese, I'm within my food budget of $2400/year Canadian, having spent $1221 so far (beginning of July). I don't coupon clip or budget-shop (but I...

@evan_fishman I record blocks of intentional time or "this is the time I spent on…" on projects in iCal/Google Calendar (synced), and I write things down in my agenda both as intentions and as "I did this today." I also record the weather of that day because there are two major keys to placing a memory in a way that you can then find the date that something occurred: what was it like outside...

@darko_kolev The first thing I would have to say is Don't Take On Too Much because it's a recipe for frustration and decision-spinning. The amount of work a single project requires can sometimes be mind-boggling and if you're starting from scratch and learning as you go, a lot of effort goes unrewarded until it becomes a matter-of-course. If I find I'm having an unfocused day, I'll use a...

What will happen if you stop feeding and interacting with the animals? Will they die or get sick?

Honestly this was a concern for me too before deleting FB. LinkedIn also has something like it. I deleted both accounts but they were syncing with Contacts which has a Birthday calendar, too. However I'd get reminded of birthdays of people I hardly knew, and didn't have birthdays of people I'd want to know, and managing the Calendar eventually became buggy.

Found on Twitter, noticed bc …bunnies, obviously. Launch on website/apple store: Apr 19

As someone who markets by email - as we all do - this is basically a mistrustful "I wanna take your freebie and don't give a crap about you" affront to reciprocity. Lists already get enough of that. What would be an improvement is having it be a mail-embargo service so that the email recipient can prevent mailing lists from sending more email than the person chooses, OR a roll-up so that it...

The ad is really bad. I would not want to be friends with this girl, and it only encourages people who ARE like this that this is valid and normal behaviour. Marketing: "Address a fear!" Psychology: "Alleviate a fear and turn it into something productive!" Marketing: "Yeah, cha-ching!" Psychology: {facepalm} Full disclosure: I'm a biologist. That people need to give their immune systems...

I've finalized and published the second edition of Life's Battle Plan in a fillable-PDF format. It's available here: https://projectica.org/product/lifes-battle-plan-lbp/ Today's goal is to make sure the copy and pages on the whole website site are simplified, up-to-date, and using my new domains as a redirect - unless I can create a one-stop-shop landing page on a third-party platform. The...

There's a new run of the course starting this weekend - Dec. 15 and 16th (I'll onboard people both days) - subscribe now!

Curious about the extent about what you really want to do, be, and have in life? Facing a change that's jumbling up the order of things? Wanting to make realistic, workable plan that still lets you dream big about what comes after "this?" I'm releasing the "class" - that is, initiating the course automation - starting tomorrow, November 30, and then gathering the next cohort of subscribers...
