ZoomBombing #1

Undoubtedly, I am just like the vast majority of the population, I am at home in quarantine.  To all those who are still working, whether you are medical professionals, grocery and drug store staff, first responders, mail personnel or any number of others--THANK YOU!!

To those of you who are working from home, I had begun collecting a series of articles about this exact situation but I started before we even heard the words Coronavirus.  So I am going to take the opportunity over the new 2 weeks to send these out.  I hope you like these and find them useful.  If you are already a subscriber of the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or another journal that I picked out these articles from, you may have already read them.  For those of you who have not read them, they are quite informative.

The first one comes from a recent Wall Street Journal and is entitled "Don't Get Bombed: How to Hose Zoom Meetings, Hangouts, Houseparty and More."  Thank you Nicole Nguyen for your insights.  The link follows first and the actual article next.

Oh, My Goodness, is it Affect or Effect?? You know it's got to be good when an article is originally written for and posted from Entrepreneur.com and then is reposted to a Harvard Business Review blog.  From there it is posted to a LinkedIn.com blog and then to my humble publication.  But here it is, a really good piece by Travis Bradberry, the award-winning co-author of the best selling book, "Emotional Intelligence 2.0", entitled "10 Misused Words That Make Smart People Look Stupid." We all have a tendency to throw words around.  They can be big words, important words and many times they are not terribly important words that we run amuck with like--affect or effect.  Bradberry's article and the points he makes in regard to today's millennial's are just as valid as they are with many of today's senior executives as with new hires.  We've lost our ability to be as articulate as we once were.  This occurs in the written as well as the spo

BIG BROTHER OR NOT????? WILL THESE TOOLS HELP YOUR PRODUCTIVITY??

By
The Wall Street Journal had a tremendous lead-off piece on their "Journal Report" this week on Monday, April 2, 2012.  It was entitled "Employees, Measure Yourselves."  The introductory picture for this article needs to be seen to be understood, so I have included the link and the article below, but as part of the picture in the newspaper version, 5 questions are asked as part of the picture, that are NOT   included in the picture below as part of the digitized version.  These questions are:         "How much time do I spend on Facebook?      How's my pulse when I get close to a deadline?      How often am I distracted?      Does my work improve when I sleep better?      Do I get more done if I exercise before work?"     All great questions which we would want to know if we are interested in our productivity.  I know I certainly would.  The article when you read it goes on to point out that there are software tools available right now that can
