Helpful ingredient detective tips for navigating food labels..... — Body Burden Balance Very thankful to collaborate with a friend and contributor that shared her story for this post.... Once in a while I find myself at the corner supermarket to grab an emergency meal or forgotten ingredient, and it never ceases to amaze me: the endless aisles, colorful boxes, bottles, and bags of products conjures a vision of enormous scale. Companies in this country and around the world have massive manufacturing plants, endless distribution pipelines and mind-blowing profit marketability. All these realizations started during an innocent nightly routine…. my little 2 year old at the sink brushing her teeth, and glancing down at the tube of Elmo toothpaste, I saw something that instantly changed our lives forever. I soon discovered the EWG - Environmental Working Group database of all beauty related products, with safety ratings based on research, along with extensive lists of individual ingredients that are of cause for concern.

How to Disagree with Someone More Powerful than You - Harvard Business Review - Pocket Your boss proposes a new initiative you think won’t work. Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you think is unrealistic. What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do? What the Experts Say It’s a natural human reaction to shy away from disagreeing with a superior. Be realistic about the risks Most people tend to overplay the risks involved in speaking up. Decide whether to wait After this risk assessment, you may decide it’s best to hold off on voicing your opinion. Identify a shared goal Before you share your thoughts, think about what the powerful person cares about — it may be “the credibility of their team or getting a project done on time,” says Grenny. Ask permission to disagree This step may sound overly deferential, but, according to Grenny, it’s a smart way to give the powerful person “psychological safety” and control. Validate the original point After you’ve gotten permission, articulate the other person’s point of view. Do:
Recruiters Explain Which Types Of Messages They Actually Reply To You’re looking for a job—which means you’re networking your pants off. Wisely, you’re focusing on contacting recruiters and human-resources folks in particular, and you’re (just as wisely) taking a two-pronged approach: paging through LinkedIn for all it’s worth, and piecing together the email addresses of the contacts you identify, whenever you’re unable to send them an InMail message. You realize it’s a bit of a crapshoot, since a lot of the time, this means reaching out to people you don’t know, so it’s all the more crucial that you nail your introductory message. But how do you do that? So Fast Company asked five recruiters which types of messages—via email and LinkedIn alike—make them reach for “delete”, and which ones they actually respond to. What They Ignore Questions that five minutes of research can answer. Anything too generic. Instead, do a bit of homework on the recruiter you’re contacting. Show recruiters you take networking seriously enough to deserve their attention.
The Science of Marginal Gains (How You Can Achieve Big Results From Small Wins) Habit is persistence in practice.” — Octavia Butler I’m a big fan of micro habits. A micro-habit is a small, simple action that doesn’t require much motivation, but will help you achieve just about anything in life. Few repeated actions, done everyday, so discreet that they could easily go unnoticed. That’s how long-term habits are formed. That’s how you change behaviour. Not radical pursuit of good habits. If you improve every area of your life in small steps, you will become unstoppable. The one percent margin for improvement in everything you do is one of the best ways to build new habits. It’s so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small gains on a daily basis. Everything meaningful takes time Overnight success is a myth. You can’t achieve extraordinary results without putting in the work consistently. Almost every habit that you have built over the years — good or bad — is the result of many small decisions you have made over time.
I was hacked At about 9pm on Tuesday, August 22 a hacker swapped his or her own SIM card with mine, presumably by calling T-Mobile. This, in turn, shut off network services to my phone and, moments later, allowed the hacker to change most of my Gmail passwords, my Facebook password, and text on my behalf. All of the two-factor notifications went, by default, to my phone number so I received none of them and in about two minutes I was locked out of my digital life. I noticed all of this at about 10pm – I was just queuing up Rick & Morty and settling in for the evening – and I assessed the damage and called T-Mobile. Sadly, I worry it will. My hacker was thorough. IMG_1642 They used my traditional greeting... The hackers’ IP (173.239.232.29), which points to LogicWeb in Plano, Texas, along with a breadcrumb noting a login from Florida suggests that the hackers were from the United States. This all came about, I believe, after another friend in the cryptocurrency space was hacked last week.
An existentialist guide to life, work, dating, and exercise — Quartzy Some people are apparently totally cool with living in an absurd world. Presumably, these folks don’t experience existence as futile or see enthusiasm as foolish. However, not all of us are so lucky or plucky, and so we’re left mustering up reasons to be and do even as we sense it’s all pointless. We can’t go on. We must go on. We’re already here. The reluctant have to make meaning up. Still, we are not doomed to perpetual gloom. Forged in the fires of futility Existential philosophers have already worked out some answers for you, so don’t despair. But don’t let your fundamental gloominess be a reason to do nothing. Think about it. But if you manage to live life based on certain values because you’ve examined them and found them preferable under the circumstances to other less laudable or more destructive approaches, that’s no joke. We are each born into a set of facts, accidents of circumstance, that describe and shape our reality—class, race, gender, religion, et cetera. Work Dating Go on
24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year. Time is the same for everyone, no matter who you are or where you are. So why is it Steve Jobs or Elon Musk seem to accomplish so much more in the same time frame? Apparently I am not the only person who seems to be stumped by their super-human capabilities. As the CEO of this company, I wish to learn the secrets to their success. After reading 100 articles I began to see a pattern: they only do things that make meaningful contributions to their future. Making the most of your time is about what you choose to do. Before completing a task, you need to ask yourself how valuable the task is to your future. For example, socializing is not a waste of time, it’s vital for our mental health. Always remember it is the intention that matters. Once you are able to understand your own actions, you will realize we engage in pointless tasks constantly that are just time sinks. We do a lot without realizing they are just a waste of time. 1. 2. 3. 4. Read Next 5.
