How (and Why) to Stop Multitasking
How (and Why) to Stop Multitasking
Cool post on one guy’s experiment with single-tasking and how to do it to improve your productivity (and happiness!)
Santiago, Week One
We’ve been here for over a week now, and it already feels relatively familiar and normal (in a good way), and we’re getting our feet under us. We’ve been lucky enough to spend some time with a string of different folks who we somehow managed to get connected up with (all connections from before we got here), and we’ve done some more tourist things, plus started getting some real work done.
These updates are as much for my memory as for any interest they may (or may not) be to other folks, so I don’t doubt that they will bore a lot of you to tears. This is a big one…
On Cafe Working
Since arriving in Santiago, I’ve been posed with the challenge of finding good locations to work from. I like to work from cafes, which I refer to as “cafeworking”. Whether you’re traveling or just wanting to get out of the house for the day though (assuming you work from home, like I normally do), your selection criteria are probably similar either way. I decided that I’d document some of the things I look for when I’m trying to find a good place to work for the day. Feel free to add your own criteria in the comments.
Fully Automattic
Today is a very exciting day for me, because I start as a full-time employee with Automattic, Inc.
Here’s a little bit about how that happened and what it means to me:
The Invoice Machine
Pretty slick online invoicing and basic project/time management tool.
