Are you referring to the Alerts notification on the top right of the website? Or are you talking about email alerts being sent out to you?

Another tagline idea I just had: "Plug-in or get left behind" Idea was generated by thinking about The_Doc_Man's "spigot in the back of the head" logo idea.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is that a bit of a Matrix reference? Getting plugged into the network?

This new experimental forum section is about getting others to assist you on any decision or problem you may have. Just tap into other peoples life experience to get another perspective on your issues, be they related to work, relationships, health, money or whatever.

I know how prevalent divorce is and how stressful it can be. Not from personal experience because no one wanted to marry me in the first place! But I have heard many stories about how unpleasant it can all be. Have you been divorced and how did it affect you?

The quality of your life is determined by two things: the quality of your decision making and luck. Making decisions alone can be hard. Two minds are better than one, ten minds are better than two, one hundreds minds are better than ten. You get the picture. The concept here is that if you...

Yesterday, I came up with an alternative idea for a tagline. Any opinion? "I think, therefore I'm here"

The_Doc_man, it reminds me of the blame game. Do you blame the parents? Or do you blame their parents for bringing up their children in a way that perhaps led to the unwanted behaviour. You have to walk 1,000 miles in another's moccasins to truly understand why people behave the way they do...

I listened to an interesting concept last night, cleverly described by Russell Brand of all people, the comedian and actor for the uninitiated. He was talking about the Simulation Hypothesis, where a significant number of smart people believe the probability of us being in a simulation is...

Insane_AI, the mental fallacies are most likely what they refer to as Cognitive Distortions. Top 10 most common Cognitive Distortions 1. Mental Filter 2. Disqualifying the Positive 3. 'All or Nothing' Thinking 4. Overgeneralization 5. Jumping to Conclusions 6. Magnifying or Minimising (also...

I came across a nugget of wisdom recently that resonated with me immensely when it comes to productivity. It is so simple yet so profound. Here it is: "You don't decide your future. You decide your habits and your habits decide your future." So true! What we do is a result of our habits...

These devices are rewiring our minds so we have the attention span of a gnat. I think it was the new Samsung phone (or maybe it was the newest version of Android OS) has a facility to turn things black and white, and reduce notifications. Something like that. The idea behind the black and white...

That sounds nice and easy. I am tempted to take that for a spin. I don't like the chilli beans in a chilli though. They remind me of chrysalis when I used to fish as a kid. :eek: That schwarz chilli mix sounds super simple. How does it taste compared to a chilli ready-meal?

I used to love the GTD system. The books has been a huge hit and the methods transformed working practice for many disorganised people. I have moved in a Kanban system nowadays but still adopt some aspects of GTD, such as @context. Are you a fan of GTD?

I started out using Evernote for a place to store my reference material, be it website details, lists of books I want to read or course notes. It is great, in that it operates fast and is great for simple text searches. Now, I also use OneNote too. It has great formatting capabilities and...

Surely most people's key goal in life is to be happy. Yet it escapes many. Even if you are happy, there are degrees of happiness, since it can be viewed as being on a spectrum, from miserable (1 out of 10) to bliss (10 out of 10). What do you think constitutes being happy and how can you...

I remember the days when they used to talk about the paperless office. Well, 30 years later and I still have a mess of papers on my desk, despite being pimped out with an iMac, PC and laptop on my desk.

I actually think there is a lot of virtue signalling going on when people say they promote a particular benevolent cause. They feel they have the moral high ground, but when push comes to shove, they dig their heads in the trough just like everyone else. When it comes to Brexit, I was in fact a...

I agree, who we are is a composite of our memories. However, could our identity be heavily weighted towards our formative years, from age 1 to 3? Many things are "set" from such an early age, with everything else a little more fossilised the older you get. Memories are built upon memories, with...

I never think about the UK as being "selfish". I just view all countries as entities that operate in their own interests. It's just the way it is.
