Not weird, but I received feedback that I cannot apply for the position, because I do not have the higher education. However, it was not even mentioned in the requirements.

I was a curious kid and always enjoyed to learn, however I would be more picky with the teachers that killed the interest in me for many subjects such as physics. Teacher can influence students more that I realised when I went to school.

When I come up with an idea I've never heard of, I google it and see that not only someone has already made the product, but that you can find such products on eBay and Amazon already :D Downside of the internet world.

Music instrument learning app that helps people switch off by learning to play popular songs on guitar, piano, and ukulele in schools and at home called Solfeg.io

The Everyday Hero Manifesto by Robin Sharma. Good and practical advices with possibility to download worksheets as well.

Oh yeah.

Weirdly, podcasts help me to focus. I guess I am used to work in crowded areas where everyone is chatting , but since we were forced to work from home, I noticed that listening to podcasts helps me during working hours.

I work full time in a corporation and part time in the start up. There are advantages and disadvantages for both. For me the thing that has helped is to be honest from the start and communicate what kind of working environment, hours, etc is ok for me. My bosses know what to expect from me. I respect their time and they respect my time. At first I thought that start ups are a bit chaotic...

Our company often reaches out to popular accounts on Instagram for collaborations. It seems to be working. But the takeaway has been that the product itself should be improved constantly. Because, yes, marketing is important and it attracts new users, but if the product is not improved constantly, users are not willing to stay with the product in the long run. The hardest part is to get the...

This has been a huge discussion between my and my colleague. He cannot stand dark mode. Looks like your survey will help me prove my point that it is more and more popular.

Communicating, commenting etc on likeminded people profile helped quite a bit for me. Got to over 4K, but at some point either the algorithm changed or I was shadow banned and since two years or so ago, despite the followers, I get around 20 likes for a picture. Before it was 400-700 per pic. Go figure. Kind of gave up on instagram after that. ( https://www.instagram.com/madara... )

Nature always helps. Should be a walk in the park or a road trip to a remote place.

Solfegio app. ( https://solfeg.io/ ) The app helps people switch off by learning to play popular songs on guitar, piano, and ukulele. The songs are arranged by moods with recommendations and content that promotes emotional wellbeing. We are also working with schools where the next generation of teens are introduced to the wonders of music.

It would be nice if it was possible to master a skill in a week.. :D

I agree with you. I prefer working from home, but it is nice to see colleagues once i a while. To get the real connection. Specially for 1:1 conversations.

The best method for me was to live in the target language country - Norway! And not to be afraid of making mistakes. Just to talk to natives since the goal is to be understood , not to be 100% grammatically correct from the first day!

I hope you will share your feedback on Atomic Habits afterwards. Its on my list as well.

I don't mind online meetings. I mind that people are so used to the anti-socialising that they do not longer turn on the camera. I mean, how hard is that? But I guess it depends on how the manager sees this.

For me the hardest part is to actually remember to move. I have to set reminders to get away from the desk. After that the movement of choice does not matter that much. But most often I just take my dog for a walk.

Manager that cares.
