Just lost all my stuff on my computer & the computer itself. All I can do now is laugh 😂 Several books in the work, podcast videos, photos and more. Yup… Even the geek squad was like. “Oh that’s no good. We can’t save it” So I have to put some things on hold until I can get back up and running. I might try video on my phone. Worth a try. #computers #geeksquad #linkedinconnections #linkedinnetwork

It's not short attention, it's just short on interest. We've heard that our attention span has shrunk from 12 seconds in 2000 to a mere 8 seconds now, even shorter than a goldfish's reputed 9 seconds. Let’s pause: that's not the whole story. Ever thought about how: >>You can rewatch 'The Office' but snooze through a webinar? >>You're engrossed in a 700-page thriller but skim a 2-page report? >>You're hooked to a podcast series but skip a 5-min ad? The BBC (https://lnkd.in/g8EknrhD) found that this 8-second attention span narrative is based on a misinterpreted 2015 report. So, it turns out we're not as scatterbrained as we think we’re. 'The Office' serves relatable humor. That thriller? A plot twist on every chapter and the podcast? Real stories, real emotions. So what’s the real deal? - It's not about short attention; it's about selective attention. - Quality over quantity. A 5-word captivating headline beats a 50-word dull one. - Our brains are wired to seek value. If it's not there, neither is our attention. And remember, the best hooks? They defy all the rules. After all, if we're going to be compared to any aquatic creature, I'd rather aim for the depth of a whale than the brevity of a goldfish.

Podcasts are such an accessible way to hear other people's stories, feel less alone, and perhaps employ a new tool when working through money issues. It certainly helps with LIFE issues. 🎧 Ryan Holiday has been a favorite of mine for a while, but the practice of stoicism goes all the way back to the days of Seneca. This practice as a whole is not perfect and it is not the only way. But the message here is to access financial wisdom through playful means and take what resonates, leave what doesn't. Is there one episode, one stoic reframe that could help you through a financial hardship? #certifiedfinancialplanner #moneytalk #thedailystoic

As I read Buffett's letters, there have been many times I simply told myself, 'How can he write so beautifully?' One such instance when I tried to understand his thinking process was when I read - "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked." And when I see Howard Marks - who himself is known for his wonderful memos - talking about the same, I can't help but share. This is a clip from David Perell's 'How I Write' podcast with Howard Marks. If you're interested in any sort of writing, you'll enjoy this episode on You Tube. "Einstein said there are five ascending levels of intelligence: smart, intelligent, brilliant, genius, and *simple*" Marks and Buffett's writings have become widely-read because they make complex financial topics simple and more accessible to readers. How can I not mention Varsity By Zerodha® that stands out in stock market education material, mainly because of the simple language used to explain various topics? Kudos to Karthik Rangappa 🇮🇳 👏 Here's to more simple writing. 🥂
