Also these days it's all about rushing content and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Though pop tech channels were always this way. I stumbled on Unbox Therapy lately and it's so blatant that it almost feels illegal.

I really like The Verge. They have a few minor stumbles now and then and focuses a lot on pop tech but they got an incredible team and actually do care about the tech landscape.

They also publish several podcasts that are worth a listen. In particular I really like the Decoder with Nilay Patel (editor in chief) as he often has the balls to pushback a bit which is so rare in tech coverage. Recently he interviewed the founder of Replika - AI "friend" service founder - and I really enjoyed his pushbacks that really showed how little these founders care about AI itself and have no clear understanding other than $$$ it seems.

Just offer file downloads. I swear the society is regressing technologically speaking (not aiming at you OP)

As much as I despise the Olympics it does some entertaining moments!

Eh, it's the same thing. If LLM can help me design a better process for my day-to-day tasks even if it's not part of the process literally it's still part of the process. Just like any growth like reading a book is part of the business process.

Not even going to touch your second paragraph and it's completely unrelated. Cleaning for a living is not "running a small business".

Keyboards already have too many keys. Your fingers are extremely inefficient at certain distances so you should never even touch numpad with proper keyboard design. 10 fingers can combine a lot of keys.

Yes of course it can help you. The lack of imagination in this thread is truly astounding.

You have an assistant with you that can instantly answer your questions and help you develop your business:

• "what's the most efficient way to track appointments for me on Linux desktop program with minimal budget and I have 4-6 daily appointments. My key features are reminder 30min before appointment and ability to put notes for each appointment"
• "help me optimize my meeting structure. I'm in X niche and currently I have 30minute daily meetings that don't follow any structure, what are some de facto meeting structures and post meeting operations in this industry?"

I'm not directing this at OP but to all of the naysayers in this thread - if you can't find use for a tireless, 20$/mo assistant that will instantly answer your questions then you should not be owning any business or leading anything for that matter.

FYI caffeine and alcohol don't actually build tolerance unless you really drink a lot.

Cold water works especially well for this! I do ice water with a straw to not shock my teeth

Journaling.
It's extremely powerful from mental health to actual planning tasks and keeping track of things but weirdly enough it can be difficult to get into.

My best advice would be to make it as easy and as low stakes as possible at the beginning. Just open file/journal and write anything every day, even if it's one word. Don't worry about anything else. Then you can add and evolve this habbit to whatever feels useful to you.

Linkedin is great if you're proactive.

Yeah I really liked puzzles and only found the timing puzzles annoying on a controller though with mouse and keyboard it was much easier.
