April 14, 2019The Eisenhower Method For Taking Action (How to Distinguish Between Urgent and Important Tasks)
April 13, 2019QT:[[”
“A lot of things that take up mental energy, waste time, and rarely move you toward your goals can easily be eliminated if you apply the Eisenhower Principle. It’s a simple decision-making tool you can use right now. It’s meant to help you question whether an action is really necessary.
…
You can only benefit from the Eisenhower Method if you can commit yourself to making radical categorization of your daily tasks. This Method requires that you group your tasks and activities into four priorities.
Priority 1 tasks are both urgent and important.
Priority 2 tasks are important but not urgent.
Priority 3 tasks are urgent but not important.
Priority 4 tasks are neither urgent nor important”

Here are cognitive scientist Steven Pinker’s 13 tips for better writing / Boing Boing

QT:[[”
3. Don’t go meta. Minimize concepts about concepts, like “approach, assumption, concept, condition, context, framework, issue, level, model, perspective, process, range, role, strategy, tendency,” and “variable.”
8. Old information at the beginning of the sentence, new information at the end.
10. Prose must cohere: readers must know how each sentence is related to the preceding one. If it’s not obvious, use “that is, for example, in general, on the other hand, nevertheless, as a result, because, nonetheless,” or “despite.”
12. Read it aloud.

The Best Transcription Services
April 7, 2019QT:[[”
If you need the accuracy of a real person doing your transcribing but have only hours of turnaround time to spare, Rev could be a good option. It has the best editor tool (in fact, the same editor as the AI-based Trint) and the easiest upload process of any of the human services we tested. But although it was more accurate than any of the AI-based services we tried, it consistently returned the
hardest-to-read and most error-filled transcriptions (aside from the jargon transcription, on which it tied for the most accurate) while being the costliest of the services we tested. The Rev transcripts were still readable, but we think it’s worthwhile to wait a bit longer for the cheaper and more accurate GoTranscript service if you have the time.
Scribie took the longest of any tested service to return our transcripts, had the worst editor, had the slowest upload process, and sported the poorest user interface. When we submitted our audio sample of a speaker with a foreign accent, Scribie rejected it. A customer service representative stated that the file was too short and too complicated for the service to find someone willing to transcribe it; Scribie rejected a second, longer accented file too. If you need to submit an audio file only on occasion or have lots of clear audio files, Scribie could still be a good option—it’s the least expensive real-people service we tried, and it produced easy-to-read and accurate transcripts for us. But steer clear if you want to be sure your uploads are accepted reliably.”
