Reserve a time at the end of every 4 days

Well then, for those 15 min of daily reflection you must ask certain questions to give objectivity to your daily, weekly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, biannual, five-year to ten-year projections.

Since the organization in huge installments go hand in hand with what you spend every minute of your day.

So ask yourself this series of questions 1 hour before going to sleep, it would be ideal, but if not just put the reminder every day and decide to ignore it or apply it. Like a Check List, where it says "haa! This is today, well! NO better another day" but you will have it reminding you every day ADD a simple alert on your mobile that repeats itself. And when that moment comes when you decide to do it, you should have this list at hand:

QUESTIONS SECTION 1

Remember these questions related to your assertiveness and priorities:

Does this task help me to achieve my purposes? WHAT ARE MY PURPOSES?

Does doing this task give me any kind of satisfaction?

If I do this task, will I really be moving forward with meaningful work?

If the answer is NO, kindly decline the invitation.

Once the task to be carried out has been defined, it must be accomplished and for this, ask yourself:

What can happen that delays or hinders what I want to do? and How can I avoid it?

QUESTION SECTION 2

IF I CHECK IT TODAY IN AM HOURS

"What I did yesterday?

What am I going to do today?

Am I stuck or am I having a problem with a task? "

If you could do just one thing today, what would it be?

What do I have to do today to feel that my day has been really effective?

What did I learn yesterday?

What can I do to improve?

IF I CHECK IT TODAY IN HOURS PM

"What I did today?

What am I going to do tomorrow?

Am I stuck or am I having a problem with a task? "

If you could do only one thing tomorrow, what would it be?

What do I have to do tomorrow to feel that my day has been really effective?

What have I learned today?

What can I do to improve?

QUESTION SECTION 3

Others more:

Why are we doing this? | Remember the Future

Assign responsibilities | 'What', 'Who' and 'When'

QUESTION SECTION 4

Regarding Psychology

How has my day been? Achievements? Challenges?

Have I thrived or just survived? How is my physical, emotional and spiritual health?

Did the relationships thrive or did they just survive?

What has given me energy? Joy? Hope? Inspiration? Is there anything I can be thankful for?

What have I learned today? About me? Of others?

Reflection:

Finally I show the example of one day in these pandemics that I made a complete record of my activity at home and this is what I found on that specific day, all day focused on documenting everything done and I obtained this result:

How do I spend my time per day? # Another question to keep in mind

The numbers are minutes so you get an idea of ​​the hours invested in each activity.

A real geek, obsessed and unusual activity. I only did it that day because it requires a lot of effort. What a day!. The amazing thing would be to have that activity recorded every day automatically, which with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is achievable and may be in the next few years.

Until next time.

The best plugin for fast reading on the web

There are countless speed reading courses but they are not worth it, just as there are many tools to learn a language, in the end what matters is the dedication with which you face whatever the challenge is, in terms of speed reading on a computer. I have found this plugin for Chrome that works very well, it is very easy to configure it, it is installed in the browser and the Alt + S keys are pressed and a box appears on the screen with the words that are passing one to another at the speed that is want.

Installing Jetzt - Speed ​​Reader

Well the first thing I do is download it from the GitHub repository

ds300 / jetzt: Speed ​​reader extension for chrome (github.com)

It is downloaded in a local folder can be in C:

Then it goes to browser extensions and enable developer options.

And in the upload button look for the folder. And voila, a logo will appear as follows:

And it can be used with Alt + S and the box will appear as follows:

https://gustavcaves.files.wordpress.com/2020/12/screenshot_98.png?w=1024

Well, it is an excellent complement for the browser.

I hope you can get the most out of this speed reading tool.

I know I can extend this post even more, but I will save it for later.

Successes

Blogs that inspire to continue

Well, for a long time I had the idea of ​​creating my own blog, so much so that since 2017 I come with the name of my personal brand, but it is until now that I have decided to do it, perhaps I had not noticed the incredible potential of the internet, You don't have to reach everyone if you don't have the right people in your niche and more will come from now on.

So when I did some research I found those two Blogs that interested me a lot, they inspire me to continue creating post as I can, and to improve my writing.

They are these two:

About Enrique Dans »Enrique Dans

About Manz - José Román Hernández | Emezeta.COM

About me - Victor Robles | Victor Robles (victorroblesweb.es)

Enrique's is 👍 great 👍, his philosophy of creating the blog identifies me is one about having an activity log and seeing how it is progressing, and Emezeta's good is about Computer Science and I like that. Víctor Robles's is very good, similar to this one, the important thing is to start and move forward.

It is encouraging to see how those blogs started with blogs as short as 30 words, or as short as this one, a long time ago. See how they started that influences when it comes to continuing.

It also makes me think how it was that social networks such as Facebook or Twitter were created have a lot to do with blog and see them from a unique and differential perspective, there like when Google bought Blogger.

One of the things that I will improve as I go are:

Optimize the functionalities, design of this website and SEO.

Create original and practical content.

Receive feedback and polish details.

And nothing, that's it.

Maybe I miss something more to say but hey when I remember I will update the post.

Greetings and success.

PS: It takes time to make a post. As simple as it may seem.

Essential Plugins for Chrome

The plugins that are essential for my chrome are:

Notion Web Clipper:

https://www.notion.so/web-clipper

I use it to capture everything that interests me, be it articles to read later or pages that I will visit often, all classified in Notion in independent databases.

AdBlock:

https://gustavcaves.files.wordpress.com/2020/12/screenshot_89.png?w=103

AdBlock: the best ad blocker - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

It serves to block annoying ads and pop-ups that are distracting and time-wasting.

Marinara:

https://gustavcaves.files.wordpress.com/2020/12/screenshot_88.png?w=80

Marinara: Pomodoro® Assistant - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

It is an excellent pomodoro to control the time you dedicate to some activity. It can be configured and the normal thing is 25 minutes of activity and 5 of rest, I was testing it for some time that way but I changed it and currently use 45 minutes of activity and 15 of rest, each one configures it as it suits him best.

Google translator:

https://gustavcaves.files.wordpress.com/2020/12/screenshot_87.png?w=90

Google Translate - Chrome Web Store

As a rule, the best content is in English and this is of great importance because with a single click or just selecting the text it translates it.

They have been very useful to me.

PS: I will update this list as I change to use them ... Since there are better versions of each utility every year.

Evernote worth it?

Evernote is a personal notes application, I use it a lot because it has allowed me to record my information and give it some management. Every time I take a note I classify it to be able to follow up, this for example some diligence that extends over time, I mean that it will take several days or weeks, for example a course from a platform that I want to do, any course that as said Someone "I do it because I like it and because I want to, it doesn't serve me at all but I do it because I can," he said. But hey, I'm still using Evernote despite its poor updates to its Legacy version made in C ++, and even now, they have updated to the modern and elegant web version using Electron (JavaScript Framework for Desktop Applications), which of course brings you better possibilities to iterate and improve the application every week, however as of today it does not give me the benefits that I have in the Legacy.

I went through Trello (only boards), Google Kepp (too simple for me), Notion (great, but only for wiki), Onenote (from microsoft powerful but not). Of these that I name I only stay with Notion for wiki courses and study notes. In the end I always stick with Evernote, although if the others evolved to the point of giving me the options I am looking for, I would change. Or rather, I could design my own App, I have weighed it a lot but I am still learning to program, I do not rule out the possibility.

I like it because I can use it as a task manager and where I can find what I don't remember, that is, a second brain. As a task manager I can set reminders and put them on Google calendar with Cronofy which is incredibly awesome, ha! But how much time does it consume me organizing, putting the correct titles and classifying them, but I think it's worth it in the end.

I have a lot to say but for now I'm going to leave it here.

Greetings and success
