Sharing Quick Tips - 07/22 :-)
Hi there!
I hope you’re doing well out there :-) It’s been a busy July. But I want to make time to share helpful tips for you. I sincerely hope you find something here useful!
☀️ Summer job? Leave a great impression. Ask your boss: “How can I best help you achieve your goals? How can I wrap up my work so it’s easiest for you when I’m done this project?”
😤 How to focus? Relax? Try Wim Hof breathing (focus) or box breathing (relax)
🔪 Into survival? To-the-point handbook on animal danger, violence, natural disasters, health emergencies, and more.
💤 Need a break? Try Wordle x Wikipedia, sudoku but visual, or this cute game :D
😕 Boring conversations? Next conversation, don’t start with: “How are you?” Ask: “If you had 10 seconds to write down one sentence to help future generations before you died, what would you write?”
🕉 Learning languages? Context Reverso > Google Translate. Shows real examples from Internet on how to use words
😫 Overwhelmed? Ask: "Which failures are easy to ignore? Which ones can't I ignore?" Helps focus on what matters.
📜 Making bibliographies? Zotero (for research) + Scribbr (for websites) > EasyBib
P.S. If you have some kind of tip you’re looking for, just let me know :-) Beats me trying to guess what you’d find helpful :D
P.P.S. More lessons learned + personal update here.
