0:01:40.079,0:01:47.430 \nparticularly actually I think I’m really<\/p>\n
0:01:44.189,0:01:50.220 \nPro people taking time off and enjoying<\/p>\n
0:01:47.430,0:01:51.780 \ntime with their family so do not do as<\/p>\n
0:01:50.220,0:01:55.200 \ndo as I say not as I do<\/p>\n
0:01:51.780,0:01:57.659 \nso tonight we’re talking about how we we<\/p>\n
0:01:55.200,0:01:59.670 \nproductivity advise those give people<\/p>\n
0:01:57.659,0:02:01.710 \nthis advice that we don’t follow we’re<\/p>\n
0:01:59.670,0:02:02.930 \njust talking about that work a lot so<\/p>\n
0:02:01.710,0:02:10.319 \nthis is a great example<\/p>\n
0:02:02.930,0:02:13.380 \nabsolutely absolutely geez so today we<\/p>\n
0:02:10.319,0:02:16.770 \nare going to be talking about hardware<\/p>\n
0:02:13.380,0:02:19.860 \nI think a lot of us uh in in our sort of<\/p>\n
0:02:16.770,0:02:21.270 \npreparation up to this topic I gusto had<\/p>\n
0:02:19.860,0:02:23.400 \nbeen talking about this idea that people<\/p>\n
0:02:21.270,0:02:27.080 \nsometimes sort of fall into the hardware<\/p>\n
0:02:23.400,0:02:29.340 \nthat they are using to be productive and<\/p>\n
0:02:27.080,0:02:31.980 \njust sort of you know and I think it’s<\/p>\n
0:02:29.340,0:02:34.170 \ntrue we all kind of come to this place<\/p>\n
0:02:31.980,0:02:36.000 \nwhere we have the phone we have we have<\/p>\n
0:02:34.170,0:02:39.540 \nthe computer we have we have the tablet<\/p>\n
0:02:36.000,0:02:41.880 \nmaybe that we are using and we really<\/p>\n
0:02:39.540,0:02:43.800 \ndon’t know why or how it’s sort of like<\/p>\n
0:02:41.880,0:02:45.810 \nyou know it’s sort of like pens of<\/p>\n
0:02:43.800,0:02:47.190 \nyesteryear you know I used to pick up<\/p>\n
0:02:45.810,0:02:48.750 \npens at conferences<\/p>\n
0:02:47.190,0:02:50.340 \nso whatever pen I picked up at a<\/p>\n
0:02:48.750,0:02:52.590 \nconference was the pen that I was using<\/p>\n
0:02:50.340,0:02:55.920 \nuntil it ran out and then I would pick<\/p>\n
0:02:52.590,0:02:58.020 \nup the next pen and and then I fell in<\/p>\n
0:02:55.920,0:03:00.360 \nlove with pens and so I was like oh my<\/p>\n
0:02:58.020,0:03:02.010 \ngosh I have to go by you know really<\/p>\n
0:03:00.360,0:03:04.890 \nnice pen and so I started looking for<\/p>\n
0:03:02.010,0:03:06.360 \nthe pen that I really wanted I think<\/p>\n
0:03:04.890,0:03:08.580 \nthat’s sort of the case with regard to<\/p>\n
0:03:06.360,0:03:10.320 \nproductivity enthusiasts I think over<\/p>\n
0:03:08.580,0:03:12.360 \ntime we start to pay very close<\/p>\n
0:03:10.320,0:03:14.370 \nattention to the details of all the<\/p>\n
0:03:12.360,0:03:15.810 \ntools that we use and so I thought it<\/p>\n
0:03:14.370,0:03:18.180 \nwould be really great for us all to have<\/p>\n
0:03:15.810,0:03:21.960 \nthat discussion I had a nice thought of<\/p>\n
0:03:18.180,0:03:25.230 \nbrick because I when I moved to Jamaica<\/p>\n
0:03:21.960,0:03:29.430 \nfrom living in Florida and I no longer<\/p>\n
0:03:25.230,0:03:30.870 \nhad CompUSA and BestBuy and I didn’t<\/p>\n
0:03:29.430,0:03:34.140 \nhave these electronic stores I didn’t<\/p>\n
0:03:30.870,0:03:36.480 \nhave overnight Amazon or 100 our Amazon<\/p>\n
0:03:34.140,0:03:38.600 \ndelivery anymore so I had to be very<\/p>\n
0:03:36.480,0:03:40.920 \ncareful about my technology choices I<\/p>\n
0:03:38.600,0:03:43.709 \nalso didn’t have access to tech support<\/p>\n
0:03:40.920,0:03:46.050 \nthat we added in the States so I became<\/p>\n
0:03:43.709,0:03:49.709 \na bit of an ascetic you know like a monk<\/p>\n
0:03:46.050,0:03:52.200 \nI became very very stingy because when<\/p>\n
0:03:49.709,0:03:55.709 \nyou don’t have immediate access to toys<\/p>\n
0:03:52.200,0:03:58.230 \nand gadgets and devices you tend to<\/p>\n
0:03:55.709,0:04:01.140 \nthink about it long and hard before you<\/p>\n
0:03:58.230,0:04:03.570 \nactually adopt anything new so today I<\/p>\n
0:04:01.140,0:04:07.050 \nhave what I call a I guess a minimalist<\/p>\n
0:04:03.570,0:04:11.370 \nset up so I have an Android Android<\/p>\n
0:04:07.050,0:04:13.410 \nphone it’s it’s because I work out a lot<\/p>\n
0:04:11.370,0:04:17.250 \nI do a lot of exercise my phones get wet<\/p>\n
0:04:13.410,0:04:19.920 \nso and as a result they fail so I’ve<\/p>\n
0:04:17.250,0:04:22.710 \nbeen through a and maybe four or five in<\/p>\n
0:04:19.920,0:04:25.200 \nthe last couple years and I decided no<\/p>\n
0:04:22.710,0:04:26.670 \nmore big expenditure so I have a minimal<\/p>\n
0:04:25.200,0:04:29.130 \nan Android<\/p>\n
0:04:26.670,0:04:32.940 \ndevices just fast enough just has it off<\/p>\n
0:04:29.130,0:04:35.130 \nmemory keeps number of apps tones those<\/p>\n
0:04:32.940,0:04:36.240 \nit does what it needs to do but it does<\/p>\n
0:04:35.130,0:04:38.610 \nit quickly cuz it happens to have a<\/p>\n
0:04:36.240,0:04:40.620 \npretty quick chip tilt into it but not a<\/p>\n
0:04:38.610,0:04:42.630 \nlot of space and then I have that link<\/p>\n
0:04:40.620,0:04:44.850 \nto a Lenovo laptop<\/p>\n
0:04:42.630,0:04:47.100 \nI used to use Toshiba but then I<\/p>\n
0:04:44.850,0:04:49.380 \nswitched over turn over because of the<\/p>\n
0:04:47.100,0:04:51.660 \nreliability factor had a same problem<\/p>\n
0:04:49.380,0:04:54.419 \nwhen my computer dies in Jamaica it<\/p>\n
0:04:51.660,0:04:56.220 \ntakes a few weeks to replace it if I’m<\/p>\n
0:04:54.419,0:04:58.650 \ngetting it from the states so I went<\/p>\n
0:04:56.220,0:05:01.169 \nthrough Dell went through Sasebo and I<\/p>\n
0:04:58.650,0:05:06.120 \nknow with Lenovo and haven’t had one die<\/p>\n
0:05:01.169,0:05:09.120 \non me yet knock on wood and I use a an<\/p>\n
0:05:06.120,0:05:11.880 \nAmazon fire tablet again pure minimalist<\/p>\n
0:05:09.120,0:05:12.960 \nwhat do I when I got it I really didn’t<\/p>\n
0:05:11.880,0:05:15.840 \nknow what I was going to use it for<\/p>\n
0:05:12.960,0:05:17.700 \nbecause it’s a couple years ago I saw<\/p>\n
0:05:15.840,0:05:20.190 \neveryone using their as a nest egg but I<\/p>\n
0:05:17.700,0:05:21.810 \nreally want another gadget I thought<\/p>\n
0:05:20.190,0:05:24.180 \nabout it long and hard I said well at<\/p>\n
0:05:21.810,0:05:27.270 \nleast need to be in the world of tablets<\/p>\n
0:05:24.180,0:05:29.010 \nI know that I have a tablet and I have<\/p>\n
0:05:27.270,0:05:32.760 \nthe three devices the three screens that<\/p>\n
0:05:29.010,0:05:35.700 \nI work with I see that I use them<\/p>\n
0:05:32.760,0:05:37.710 \ndifferently and I’m trying to sort of<\/p>\n
0:05:35.700,0:05:40.760 \nsegment the way in which I use each<\/p>\n
0:05:37.710,0:05:42.000 \ndevice so I use my tablet for<\/p>\n
0:05:40.760,0:05:45.990 \nconsumption<\/p>\n
0:05:42.000,0:05:49.050 \nmostly it’s my it’s what I call my I’m<\/p>\n
0:05:45.990,0:05:51.360 \nlazy boy device you can have all those<\/p>\n
0:05:49.050,0:05:53.820 \nchairs that sort of leans back kicks up<\/p>\n
0:05:51.360,0:05:58.560 \na footrest and I can lean back and<\/p>\n
0:05:53.820,0:06:00.780 \nconsume or read or listen or watch or so<\/p>\n
0:05:58.560,0:06:01.350 \nit’s it’s it’s where I am passive does<\/p>\n
0:06:00.780,0:06:04.050 \nthat make sense<\/p>\n
0:06:01.350,0:06:06.510 \noh yeah absolutely right I’m not<\/p>\n
0:06:04.050,0:06:09.240 \ncreating anything when I’m using my<\/p>\n
0:06:06.510,0:06:14.220 \ntablet I’m just consuming just only<\/p>\n
0:06:09.240,0:06:16.620 \nconsume much of my laptop is were my<\/p>\n
0:06:14.220,0:06:19.650 \ncreation takes place so this is where I<\/p>\n
0:06:16.620,0:06:22.320 \nneed every thaller poll all the<\/p>\n
0:06:19.650,0:06:24.810 \ndifferent devices I need sound any good<\/p>\n
0:06:22.320,0:06:27.600 \nsong so microphone is plugged in here<\/p>\n
0:06:24.810,0:06:30.140 \nand my headphone my like good headphones<\/p>\n
0:06:27.600,0:06:33.090 \nare plugged in this is where I produce<\/p>\n
0:06:30.140,0:06:35.909 \ncontents that’s where I do heavy duty<\/p>\n
0:06:33.090,0:06:38.729 \nprocessing of email and my phone is it’s<\/p>\n
0:06:35.909,0:06:40.230 \njust sort of a convenience I guess it’s<\/p>\n
0:06:38.729,0:06:42.570 \nwhat I use when<\/p>\n
0:06:40.230,0:06:45.240 \nI’m away from either the from the tablet<\/p>\n
0:06:42.570,0:06:49.160 \nor the laptop it’s when I’m on the move<\/p>\n
0:06:45.240,0:06:52.520 \nI’ve taken off apps from my phone that<\/p>\n
0:06:49.160,0:06:56.370 \ndon’t fit that description so it has<\/p>\n
0:06:52.520,0:06:59.280 \nemail for example I took off the heavy<\/p>\n
0:06:56.370,0:07:01.440 \nduty office apps because I don’t you I<\/p>\n
0:06:59.280,0:07:04.620 \ndon’t process or create anything on my<\/p>\n
0:07:01.440,0:07:08.640 \non my phone not really it’s just it’s<\/p>\n
0:07:04.620,0:07:10.590 \njust a user for reminders a lot it’s<\/p>\n
0:07:08.640,0:07:11.940 \nmoose it’s one I listen to the moose<\/p>\n
0:07:10.590,0:07:13.620 \nso of all the notifications that I<\/p>\n
0:07:11.940,0:07:15.870 \nlisten to I listen to the phone the ones<\/p>\n
0:07:13.620,0:07:18.570 \non my phone I try to use that as my<\/p>\n
0:07:15.870,0:07:20.300 \nmobile notification device the one that<\/p>\n
0:07:18.570,0:07:23.490 \ntravels with me all the time so it’s my<\/p>\n
0:07:20.300,0:07:26.760 \nnotifier and while my laptop does give<\/p>\n
0:07:23.490,0:07:29.250 \nme notifications I it’s really my phone<\/p>\n
0:07:26.760,0:07:31.020 \nthat I let try to listen to my tablet<\/p>\n
0:07:29.250,0:07:33.000 \nI’m about to turn off notifications from<\/p>\n
0:07:31.020,0:07:33.990 \nthere once I figure out how but only<\/p>\n
0:07:33.000,0:07:36.990 \nlisten to that at all<\/p>\n
0:07:33.990,0:07:39.570 \nso I guess I’ve sort of split my use<\/p>\n
0:07:36.990,0:07:41.520 \namong the three the three different<\/p>\n
0:07:39.570,0:07:44.640 \ntypes of screens I’m trying to separate<\/p>\n
0:07:41.520,0:07:46.710 \nthem even further as new software comes<\/p>\n
0:07:44.640,0:07:49.890 \nout that allows me to do that I’m trying<\/p>\n
0:07:46.710,0:07:54.900 \nto do that so using Windows 10 on the<\/p>\n
0:07:49.890,0:07:57.900 \nLenovo laptop no 7000 sigh I refuse to I<\/p>\n
0:07:54.900,0:08:03.540 \ntried it for both uh was an hour I think<\/p>\n
0:07:57.900,0:08:07.020 \na couple hours and I said oh no no no<\/p>\n
0:08:03.540,0:08:10.110 \nhouse was well early adopters I said oh<\/p>\n
0:08:07.020,0:08:13.110 \nno no no it slowed my machine don’t talk<\/p>\n
0:08:10.110,0:08:15.240 \ncrawl and it was sort of the first or<\/p>\n
0:08:13.110,0:08:16.950 \nsecond week er that you know my first<\/p>\n
0:08:15.240,0:08:19.920 \nsolid came out and started being rolled<\/p>\n
0:08:16.950,0:08:22.050 \nout and I said oh no no no I’m not<\/p>\n
0:08:19.920,0:08:24.990 \nmessing with this thing at all and<\/p>\n
0:08:22.050,0:08:26.700 \nunless like I can be I can be convinced<\/p>\n
0:08:24.990,0:08:29.760 \nthat it’s gonna impact my productivity<\/p>\n
0:08:26.700,0:08:34.080 \nand so far I keep reading I can’t see a<\/p>\n
0:08:29.760,0:08:36.150 \nsingle feature that I would gain that<\/p>\n
0:08:34.080,0:08:40.310 \nwould make a profound enough difference<\/p>\n
0:08:36.150,0:08:44.250 \nto run the risk of screwing something up<\/p>\n
0:08:40.310,0:08:46.590 \nget used to the interface yeah I my wife<\/p>\n
0:08:44.250,0:08:50.300 \nhas Windows 8 on her computer and every<\/p>\n
0:08:46.590,0:08:50.300 \ntime I log in the night what day<\/p>\n
0:08:52.339,0:08:57.050 \nand when they fix that with Windows 10<\/p>\n
0:08:54.439,0:08:58.519 \nsomewhat but well they can send kind of<\/p>\n
0:08:57.050,0:09:00.499 \nan eight point one eight point one I<\/p>\n
0:08:58.519,0:09:03.439 \nthink was a really was really necessary<\/p>\n
0:09:00.499,0:09:05.629 \nthey brought back the the start button<\/p>\n
0:09:03.439,0:09:08.509 \nyou know something right it made it very<\/p>\n
0:09:05.629,0:09:12.170 \nvery unhelpful especially people who are<\/p>\n
0:09:08.509,0:09:14.420 \nmore you know older who just really you<\/p>\n
0:09:12.170,0:09:16.490 \nknow they they had an entire lifetime of<\/p>\n
0:09:14.420,0:09:18.139 \ncomputing with a start button and then<\/p>\n
0:09:16.490,0:09:20.449 \nall of a sudden it was gone it was like<\/p>\n
0:09:18.139,0:09:22.999 \nhow do i compute you know how do i get<\/p>\n
0:09:20.449,0:09:25.819 \nto the areas it was very very difficult<\/p>\n
0:09:22.999,0:09:27.649 \nfor people so i’m really glad that they<\/p>\n
0:09:25.819,0:09:29.779 \nbrought back the start button and the<\/p>\n
0:09:27.649,0:09:31.519 \ndesktop you know in a in an easier way<\/p>\n
0:09:29.779,0:09:33.529 \nto get to you know things of that nature<\/p>\n
0:09:31.519,0:09:35.749 \nso i formed a sort of a strong opinion<\/p>\n
0:09:33.529,0:09:38.629 \nabout that after having that experience<\/p>\n
0:09:35.749,0:09:40.970 \nof not finding the start button and and<\/p>\n
0:09:38.629,0:09:42.649 \na few other apps that were upgraded in<\/p>\n
0:09:40.970,0:09:45.499 \nways that developers liked but users<\/p>\n
0:09:42.649,0:09:47.569 \ndidn’t mmm that that developers don’t<\/p>\n
0:09:45.499,0:09:50.509 \npay sufficient attention to user<\/p>\n
0:09:47.569,0:09:53.689 \nbehavior and they don’t map out the<\/p>\n
0:09:50.509,0:09:55.999 \nchange in the practices that users have<\/p>\n
0:09:53.689,0:09:59.779 \nto engage in in order to use your new<\/p>\n
0:09:55.999,0:10:02.389 \ndevice or your new app or your new<\/p>\n
0:09:59.779,0:10:04.639 \nupgrade they don’t think it’s through in<\/p>\n
0:10:02.389,0:10:06.800 \nterms of the behaviors and because of<\/p>\n
0:10:04.639,0:10:08.269 \nthat there is there a lot of a lot of<\/p>\n
0:10:06.800,0:10:10.430 \nthe upgrades just simply people hate<\/p>\n
0:10:08.269,0:10:12.860 \nthem but it’s not because the upgrades<\/p>\n
0:10:10.430,0:10:14.029 \nare bad if they were the first you know<\/p>\n
0:10:12.860,0:10:16.129 \nthat came what was the first release<\/p>\n
0:10:14.029,0:10:18.649 \nfine it’s just that once you have habits<\/p>\n
0:10:16.129,0:10:21.769 \nin place changing your habits is so hard<\/p>\n
0:10:18.649,0:10:24.589 \nand it’s so unwieldy and it’s so<\/p>\n
0:10:21.769,0:10:26.509 \ndifficult that if developers were to<\/p>\n
0:10:24.589,0:10:29.540 \nthink you know what am i what habits am<\/p>\n
0:10:26.509,0:10:32.329 \ni asking my users to change in order to<\/p>\n
0:10:29.540,0:10:33.920 \naccept this device that question seems<\/p>\n
0:10:32.329,0:10:35.839 \nto be one that’s missing for the most<\/p>\n
0:10:33.920,0:10:38.059 \npart and that i think that results in<\/p>\n
0:10:35.839,0:10:41.000 \nbad software and bad hardware of course<\/p>\n
0:10:38.059,0:10:43.009 \ncan inform factor has so much to do you<\/p>\n
0:10:41.000,0:10:44.660 \nknow you I think you’re talking a little<\/p>\n
0:10:43.009,0:10:46.579 \nbit about you know sort of the operating<\/p>\n
0:10:44.660,0:10:47.959 \nsystem there but I think it makes you<\/p>\n
0:10:46.579,0:10:50.689 \nknow on the topic of hardware it makes<\/p>\n
0:10:47.959,0:10:52.850 \nsuch a huge difference that when I have<\/p>\n
0:10:50.689,0:10:54.759 \na form factor that you’re used to and<\/p>\n
0:10:52.850,0:10:57.350 \nyou’re comfortable you know I’m time<\/p>\n
0:10:54.759,0:10:59.899 \nwhen when I get to my little segment<\/p>\n
0:10:57.350,0:11:02.089 \nhere I’ll talk to talk about my current<\/p>\n
0:10:59.899,0:11:04.189 \nform factor problem but the you know the<\/p>\n
0:11:02.089,0:11:06.019 \nit is it is something that I think<\/p>\n
0:11:04.189,0:11:08.029 \ndevelopers need to have<\/p>\n
0:11:06.019,0:11:10.369 \nmore experience with which is all the<\/p>\n
0:11:08.029,0:11:12.529 \nvarious devices that an operating system<\/p>\n
0:11:10.369,0:11:15.079 \nor a piece of software is going to be on<\/p>\n
0:11:12.529,0:11:17.839 \nand how important that how important<\/p>\n
0:11:15.079,0:11:23.809 \nthat affects productivity how about you<\/p>\n
0:11:17.839,0:11:30.019 \nago sir I leave these days on a 90 at<\/p>\n
0:11:23.809,0:11:35.720 \nleast 95 percent tires I begin that<\/p>\n
0:11:30.019,0:11:40.279 \njourney 2000 around 2011 I was abduct<\/p>\n
0:11:35.720,0:11:44.749 \nI’m traveling heavily and I was carrying<\/p>\n
0:11:40.279,0:11:52.549 \nbefore that I was I had a Mac a MacBook<\/p>\n
0:11:44.749,0:11:55.339 \nand I have HP and I also had another HP<\/p>\n
0:11:52.549,0:11:57.999 \nthat was a tablet PC so I carry what I<\/p>\n
0:11:55.339,0:12:00.980 \nliterally used to call the dead body<\/p>\n
0:11:57.999,0:12:03.920 \nthat thing you know I had that I had a<\/p>\n
0:12:00.980,0:12:05.899 \nscanner that you know scanners now are<\/p>\n
0:12:03.920,0:12:08.089 \nsmall and nice and beautiful you can<\/p>\n
0:12:05.899,0:12:10.160 \neven use the phone to pick the camera of<\/p>\n
0:12:08.089,0:12:11.839 \nyour phone but at that time you know he<\/p>\n
0:12:10.160,0:12:15.769 \nneeded to connect and then I have a<\/p>\n
0:12:11.839,0:12:19.279 \nportable printer I travel over 250,000<\/p>\n
0:12:15.769,0:12:23.749 \nmiles a year so I basically had an<\/p>\n
0:12:19.279,0:12:27.889 \noffice that I could use anywhere when<\/p>\n
0:12:23.749,0:12:32.480 \nthe iPad came out it was more out of<\/p>\n
0:12:27.889,0:12:37.459 \ndesperation that I try to to reduce the<\/p>\n
0:12:32.480,0:12:42.290 \nweight and see if I could work with a<\/p>\n
0:12:37.459,0:12:44.569 \nminimum really minimum set so the iPad<\/p>\n
0:12:42.290,0:12:47.569 \nwas the first tool I picked for that<\/p>\n
0:12:44.569,0:12:50.779 \ncould I have pick up PC and could I pick<\/p>\n
0:12:47.569,0:12:52.669 \na Mac probably but but there was<\/p>\n
0:12:50.779,0:12:55.129 \nsomething about the iPad that was really<\/p>\n
0:12:52.669,0:12:58.459 \ncool for me at that time so I start<\/p>\n
0:12:55.129,0:13:01.730 \nlooking in ways to make it work it is<\/p>\n
0:12:58.459,0:13:05.689 \nperfect no it is 2017 and it stills not<\/p>\n
0:13:01.730,0:13:10.369 \nperfect but I can make around 95% of<\/p>\n
0:13:05.689,0:13:13.040 \nwhat I do and now even those 5% that<\/p>\n
0:13:10.369,0:13:16.369 \nsometimes require me to login into the<\/p>\n
0:13:13.040,0:13:19.520 \nMac or into a PC I can even do it from<\/p>\n
0:13:16.369,0:13:22.160 \nthe iPad I use Google Chrome next up<\/p>\n
0:13:19.520,0:13:24.110 \nnext up and then login you know into the<\/p>\n
0:13:22.160,0:13:27.170 \nMac and even do it from the iPad on<\/p>\n
0:13:24.110,0:13:30.200 \nthose few things that I need to do that<\/p>\n
0:13:27.170,0:13:32.990 \nrequire me to use a computer and most of<\/p>\n
0:13:30.200,0:13:35.510 \nthe time has nothing to do with the<\/p>\n
0:13:32.990,0:13:40.760 \ncapabilities of the iPad and has to do<\/p>\n
0:13:35.510,0:13:41.480 \nwith how things are coded into into the<\/p>\n
0:13:40.760,0:13:44.660 \ncomputer<\/p>\n
0:13:41.480,0:13:48.140 \nsomething like what Francis had I have<\/p>\n
0:13:44.660,0:13:51.800 \nthree main devices I have an iPad Mini<\/p>\n
0:13:48.140,0:13:55.070 \nand my iPad Mini is mostly a consumption<\/p>\n
0:13:51.800,0:13:59.330 \ndevice that’s where I read that’s where<\/p>\n
0:13:55.070,0:14:02.899 \nI’m thinking that were I do you know a<\/p>\n
0:13:59.330,0:14:05.020 \nlot of high-end work I’m not typing or<\/p>\n
0:14:02.899,0:14:11.990 \nwriting or anything on that one I<\/p>\n
0:14:05.020,0:14:15.260 \nrecently changed my 9.7 iPad to a 12.9<\/p>\n
0:14:11.990,0:14:19.670 \niPad and for the iPad pro the big one<\/p>\n
0:14:15.260,0:14:22.700 \nand I really mean enjoying that when you<\/p>\n
0:14:19.670,0:14:26.089 \nmake this little screen on that one you<\/p>\n
0:14:22.700,0:14:29.450 \nget the equivalent of 29.7 iPad<\/p>\n
0:14:26.089,0:14:31.850 \nside-by-side so as much as you need to<\/p>\n
0:14:29.450,0:14:36.050 \nbe really careful on the distraction<\/p>\n
0:14:31.850,0:14:38.930 \nfrom you know because obviously having<\/p>\n
0:14:36.050,0:14:41.170 \nthe possibility of have two screens it<\/p>\n
0:14:38.930,0:14:43.670 \nincreased productivity but also increase<\/p>\n
0:14:41.170,0:14:46.399 \nthe amount of distraction so you need to<\/p>\n
0:14:43.670,0:14:48.890 \nreally keep yourself in check that’s it<\/p>\n
0:14:46.399,0:14:49.399 \nit’s fantastic what you can do with that<\/p>\n
0:14:48.890,0:14:52.520 \nmachine<\/p>\n
0:14:49.399,0:14:54.130 \nthat machine has four gigabyte of RAM<\/p>\n
0:14:52.520,0:14:56.990 \nthat it’s more than what most people<\/p>\n
0:14:54.130,0:14:59.899 \ncomputers has I understand most people<\/p>\n
0:14:56.990,0:15:02.209 \ndon’t know that but but four gigabytes<\/p>\n
0:14:59.899,0:15:05.000 \nof RAM on an iPad really make it fast<\/p>\n
0:15:02.209,0:15:10.010 \nand that make it really fun to work with<\/p>\n
0:15:05.000,0:15:13.430 \nit and finally I have an iPhone is a<\/p>\n
0:15:10.010,0:15:18.170 \nphone I don’t use it mostly for anything<\/p>\n
0:15:13.430,0:15:21.589 \nelse even a couple of weeks ago ray send<\/p>\n
0:15:18.170,0:15:23.839 \nme something for me to review and I was<\/p>\n
0:15:21.589,0:15:26.149 \nout and about and I just had my phone<\/p>\n
0:15:23.839,0:15:29.529 \nand I said sorry I kind of read it<\/p>\n
0:15:26.149,0:15:31.350 \nbecause I don’t have activated I<\/p>\n
0:15:29.529,0:15:35.610 \nremember that<\/p>\n
0:15:31.350,0:15:38.639 \nand well there are I have I have said a<\/p>\n
0:15:35.610,0:15:41.449 \nlot about email an email doesn’t matter<\/p>\n
0:15:38.639,0:15:46.139 \nwhich device you use and which devices<\/p>\n
0:15:41.449,0:15:49.199 \nyou enjoy Judea was email and you need<\/p>\n
0:15:46.139,0:15:52.769 \nto be paying attention to what you do<\/p>\n
0:15:49.199,0:15:56.370 \nwith those devices and what you do you<\/p>\n
0:15:52.769,0:16:00.750 \nknow with that my focus and my attention<\/p>\n
0:15:56.370,0:16:03.779 \nis my most pressure resource and if I<\/p>\n
0:16:00.750,0:16:05.730 \nallow every electronic device I have<\/p>\n
0:16:03.779,0:16:08.130 \naround me to distract me<\/p>\n
0:16:05.730,0:16:12.089 \nthen I will never accomplish anything so<\/p>\n
0:16:08.130,0:16:15.329 \nit’s that the reason why I don’t try to<\/p>\n
0:16:12.089,0:16:18.209 \ndo things on the iPad Mini that I do on<\/p>\n
0:16:15.329,0:16:20.819 \nthe other iPad can I do oh yeah I have<\/p>\n
0:16:18.209,0:16:25.829 \nwrote three or four books on the iPad<\/p>\n
0:16:20.819,0:16:28.230 \nMini the question is is the big iPad<\/p>\n
0:16:25.829,0:16:30.690 \nbetter yes I write on a Scrivener the<\/p>\n
0:16:28.230,0:16:32.399 \nfour gigabytes of RAM make a difference<\/p>\n
0:16:30.690,0:16:35.430 \nwhen you are working on a Scrivener on<\/p>\n
0:16:32.399,0:16:38.069 \nthe iPad and that make it way nicer to<\/p>\n
0:16:35.430,0:16:40.290 \nwork in it so I stopped trying to make<\/p>\n
0:16:38.069,0:16:42.810 \nthe iPad Mini work for that and went<\/p>\n
0:16:40.290,0:16:45.630 \ndirectly to only write with the big<\/p>\n
0:16:42.810,0:16:48.089 \nkeyboard the biggest screen and anyways<\/p>\n
0:16:45.630,0:16:50.100 \nmost of the time I carry everything yeah<\/p>\n
0:16:48.089,0:16:52.139 \nyou brought up a point about distraction<\/p>\n
0:16:50.100,0:16:55.290 \nAugusto and it’s funny<\/p>\n
0:16:52.139,0:16:57.300 \nI think was back in 2014 the University<\/p>\n
0:16:55.290,0:16:59.579 \nof Southern Maine had done this study of<\/p>\n
0:16:57.300,0:17:02.370 \nstudents and it said that actually one<\/p>\n
0:16:59.579,0:17:05.280 \nwhat a phone is in in just in your<\/p>\n
0:17:02.370,0:17:07.260 \npresence like is when it’s visible it<\/p>\n
0:17:05.280,0:17:11.130 \nmakes you more distracted and therefore<\/p>\n
0:17:07.260,0:17:13.740 \nless productive and so the suggestion<\/p>\n
0:17:11.130,0:17:15.990 \nthat came out of this this you know<\/p>\n
0:17:13.740,0:17:17.939 \npublished study and the journal social<\/p>\n
0:17:15.990,0:17:20.280 \npsychology talks about this idea of<\/p>\n
0:17:17.939,0:17:22.589 \nputting your cell phone or your<\/p>\n
0:17:20.280,0:17:25.110 \nsmartphone out of view when you’re<\/p>\n
0:17:22.589,0:17:26.610 \nworking on a computer or tablet or<\/p>\n
0:17:25.110,0:17:29.309 \nsomething like that because it actually<\/p>\n
0:17:26.610,0:17:31.650 \nmakes you less productive I think that’s<\/p>\n
0:17:29.309,0:17:34.830 \nvery fascinating so we we all have to be<\/p>\n
0:17:31.650,0:17:36.840 \nvery cautious of what even devices we<\/p>\n
0:17:34.830,0:17:39.210 \nhave in front of us like our phone<\/p>\n
0:17:36.840,0:17:42.330 \nbecause the phone you know maybe not<\/p>\n
0:17:39.210,0:17:44.760 \neven because the notifications are you<\/p>\n
0:17:42.330,0:17:46.830 \nknow flashing or buzzing or<\/p>\n
0:17:44.760,0:17:49.980 \nor dinging it’s because you know in<\/p>\n
0:17:46.830,0:17:51.720 \nreality those things are going to just<\/p>\n
0:17:49.980,0:17:53.280 \nmake us less productive even by their<\/p>\n
0:17:51.720,0:17:55.740 \nmirror visual presence<\/p>\n
0:17:53.280,0:17:57.900 \nI yearn for a powerful notification<\/p>\n
0:17:55.740,0:18:00.240 \nprogram that could control my<\/p>\n
0:17:57.900,0:18:03.900 \nnotifications across all my devices I<\/p>\n
0:18:00.240,0:18:06.030 \nyearn for it I’m like please please and<\/p>\n
0:18:03.900,0:18:09.450 \nand I think if they could if they could<\/p>\n
0:18:06.030,0:18:11.190 \ncustomize notifications per for anything<\/p>\n
0:18:09.450,0:18:14.640 \nyou know just like us customize and<\/p>\n
0:18:11.190,0:18:18.750 \ncontrol them I’d be so happy I’d be I’d<\/p>\n
0:18:14.640,0:18:22.760 \nbe over the moon and sound like the<\/p>\n
0:18:18.750,0:18:22.760 \nApple fan guy but the apples there we go<\/p>\n
0:18:24.320,0:18:29.610 \npeople can do that pretty much every<\/p>\n
0:18:27.120,0:18:32.640 \nring device you tell and whatever you<\/p>\n
0:18:29.610,0:18:35.850 \ntell but no we we notice we don’t notice<\/p>\n
0:18:32.640,0:18:39.630 \nhow much destruction you know a cell<\/p>\n
0:18:35.850,0:18:42.690 \nphone the problem is I said this I have<\/p>\n
0:18:39.630,0:18:43.800 \nsaid this before and if you go back to<\/p>\n
0:18:42.690,0:18:46.740 \nthe 80s<\/p>\n
0:18:43.800,0:18:49.560 \nokay the transition between the 80s and<\/p>\n
0:18:46.740,0:18:51.960 \nthe 90s was clear okay when you change<\/p>\n
0:18:49.560,0:18:54.240 \nwhen when you change for what was you<\/p>\n
0:18:51.960,0:18:56.700 \nknow the Cubbies world – the getting<\/p>\n
0:18:54.240,0:18:58.920 \nthings done world the transition you<\/p>\n
0:18:56.700,0:19:00.960 \nknow it came we started the United<\/p>\n
0:18:58.920,0:19:02.930 \nStates were changing and most jobs were<\/p>\n
0:19:00.960,0:19:05.250 \nchanging from a line to a<\/p>\n
0:19:02.930,0:19:07.170 \nservice-oriented the problem is the<\/p>\n
0:19:05.250,0:19:09.300 \nchange that came after that was a<\/p>\n
0:19:07.170,0:19:12.270 \ntechnology change and most people didn’t<\/p>\n
0:19:09.300,0:19:16.350 \neven notice you know when when you think<\/p>\n
0:19:12.270,0:19:18.900 \nabout FaceTime and I and I look this you<\/p>\n
0:19:16.350,0:19:22.290 \nknow I see this with my kids and it is<\/p>\n
0:19:18.900,0:19:24.990 \nincredible if I tell right now to the<\/p>\n
0:19:22.290,0:19:26.970 \nthree of us who spend we are not going<\/p>\n
0:19:24.990,0:19:28.950 \nto admit how many hours on the phones<\/p>\n
0:19:26.970,0:19:29.490 \nand video conference and those kind of<\/p>\n
0:19:28.950,0:19:31.830 \nthings<\/p>\n
0:19:29.490,0:19:34.260 \nif I tell you I’m going to call you<\/p>\n
0:19:31.830,0:19:38.340 \nright now okay and we’re going to do a<\/p>\n
0:19:34.260,0:19:38.790 \nFaceTime or or a Skype call okay or even<\/p>\n
0:19:38.340,0:19:44.040 \nthis<\/p>\n
0:19:38.790,0:19:46.370 \nokay you’re you mentally set yourself to<\/p>\n
0:19:44.040,0:19:49.580 \nthat okay because would you leave the<\/p>\n
0:19:46.370,0:19:52.770 \nbefore so where this was impossible and<\/p>\n
0:19:49.580,0:19:55.980 \nthe earliest stages of this where it was<\/p>\n
0:19:52.770,0:19:58.500 \nawful to them all to the point where we<\/p>\n
0:19:55.980,0:20:00.960 \nare right now in three different cities<\/p>\n
0:19:58.500,0:20:03.990 \nand we can even go and record remotely<\/p>\n
0:20:00.960,0:20:08.700 \nwhen you look at my kids okay<\/p>\n
0:20:03.990,0:20:10.260 \nthey get their iPad okay to call your<\/p>\n
0:20:08.700,0:20:13.549 \ngrandparents okay<\/p>\n
0:20:10.260,0:20:17.400 \nand they don’t understand the technology<\/p>\n
0:20:13.549,0:20:19.230 \nthat is behind that for them that is you<\/p>\n
0:20:17.400,0:20:21.450 \nknow you could see my four-year-old<\/p>\n
0:20:19.230,0:20:23.370 \ngetting mad because grandma is not<\/p>\n
0:20:21.450,0:20:29.070 \npicking the phone and he’s calling on<\/p>\n
0:20:23.370,0:20:32.610 \nFaceTime how dare she is nothing but for<\/p>\n
0:20:29.070,0:20:35.309 \nthem that technology is nothing that’s<\/p>\n
0:20:32.610,0:20:39.179 \nthat’s the reality they don’t even<\/p>\n
0:20:35.309,0:20:42.480 \nconsider you know for for us we think on<\/p>\n
0:20:39.179,0:20:45.450 \nWow how far quick<\/p>\n
0:20:42.480,0:20:49.530 \ntechnology has come for them they don’t<\/p>\n
0:20:45.450,0:20:52.070 \nknow anything else yes so I just want to<\/p>\n
0:20:49.530,0:20:54.690 \ndouble back for a moment to Francis’s<\/p>\n
0:20:52.070,0:20:56.549 \ndiscussion about notifications and then<\/p>\n
0:20:54.690,0:20:58.549 \nI’ll talk about my setup but the but<\/p>\n
0:20:56.549,0:21:02.429 \nFrancis you might want to check out<\/p>\n
0:20:58.549,0:21:04.470 \npushbullet so pushbullet and I’ll put a<\/p>\n
0:21:02.429,0:21:07.470 \nlink to it in the in the note show notes<\/p>\n
0:21:04.470,0:21:09.240 \nbut pushbullet handles notifications I<\/p>\n
0:21:07.470,0:21:11.940 \ndon’t think it handles it in the way in<\/p>\n
0:21:09.240,0:21:15.240 \nwhich you’re looking for but it may do<\/p>\n
0:21:11.940,0:21:17.610 \nsome more I’m not sure so but I think<\/p>\n
0:21:15.240,0:21:20.570 \nany suggestion at this point yeah yeah I<\/p>\n
0:21:17.610,0:21:24.330 \nuse I use pushbullet for management of<\/p>\n
0:21:20.570,0:21:26.760 \nnotifications from my my tablet and<\/p>\n
0:21:24.330,0:21:30.480 \nphone to my desktop when I want them<\/p>\n
0:21:26.760,0:21:34.380 \nwhile the iOS and the way iOS manages<\/p>\n
0:21:30.480,0:21:35.700 \nnotifications is is great you know there<\/p>\n
0:21:34.380,0:21:38.039 \nare limitations to that if your<\/p>\n
0:21:35.700,0:21:41.010 \ncross-platform and so it’s a nice segue<\/p>\n
0:21:38.039,0:21:43.679 \nto my own and set up which you know I am<\/p>\n
0:21:41.010,0:21:46.350 \nmulti operating system right so I use I<\/p>\n
0:21:43.679,0:21:47.880 \nuse pretty much you know all the<\/p>\n
0:21:46.350,0:21:50.159 \noperating systems that are available to<\/p>\n
0:21:47.880,0:21:51.929 \nme at any given time so and a lot of<\/p>\n
0:21:50.159,0:21:55.530 \nthis has to do with my my work and<\/p>\n
0:21:51.929,0:21:57.659 \ntesting different software so I’m I’m<\/p>\n
0:21:55.530,0:22:00.600 \nalways you know on multiple operating<\/p>\n
0:21:57.659,0:22:05.490 \nsystems so I’m on Mac OS X I’m on you<\/p>\n
0:22:00.600,0:22:09.179 \nknow pure Android you know phone and<\/p>\n
0:22:05.490,0:22:12.570 \nthen a Samsung flavor of Android on a<\/p>\n
0:22:09.179,0:22:17.340 \nSamsung tablet currently I got a<\/p>\n
0:22:12.570,0:22:19.740 \nsome tab and I’m really loving it this<\/p>\n
0:22:17.340,0:22:21.780 \none has the SIM card in it so I can have<\/p>\n
0:22:19.740,0:22:24.810 \ndigital I’m sorry broadband access<\/p>\n
0:22:21.780,0:22:27.150 \nwherever I might be and so that’s been<\/p>\n
0:22:24.810,0:22:28.560 \nreally great so having having a tablet<\/p>\n
0:22:27.150,0:22:30.720 \nthat can access the internet from<\/p>\n
0:22:28.560,0:22:32.250 \nanywhere has been really nice and it<\/p>\n
0:22:30.720,0:22:34.770 \ncreates a hotspot you know if I need<\/p>\n
0:22:32.250,0:22:39.270 \ninternet access to my laptop just like<\/p>\n
0:22:34.770,0:22:42.060 \nmy phone and so I’ve a Toshiba laptop<\/p>\n
0:22:39.270,0:22:43.830 \nI’ve got an HP laptop I’ve got two<\/p>\n
0:22:42.060,0:22:47.370 \nMacBook Airs sitting in front of me a<\/p>\n
0:22:43.830,0:22:49.670 \nthirteen and an eleven inch and so you<\/p>\n
0:22:47.370,0:22:52.620 \nknow and one of those laptops is running<\/p>\n
0:22:49.670,0:22:56.010 \nWindows 10 and one is running Linux Mint<\/p>\n
0:22:52.620,0:22:57.810 \nright now so you know yeah so I’m I’m<\/p>\n
0:22:56.010,0:22:59.640 \nrunning a lot of different operating<\/p>\n
0:22:57.810,0:23:02.040 \nsystems and I and I would and I would<\/p>\n
0:22:59.640,0:23:05.130 \nsay that definitely effects other<\/p>\n
0:23:02.040,0:23:08.040 \npeople’s productivity in terms of their<\/p>\n
0:23:05.130,0:23:09.450 \nability to transition between and<\/p>\n
0:23:08.040,0:23:11.910 \naugusto and I have had this discussion<\/p>\n
0:23:09.450,0:23:14.550 \nbefore Francis so I’m not gonna rehash<\/p>\n
0:23:11.910,0:23:16.890 \nit but it affects productivity in the<\/p>\n
0:23:14.550,0:23:19.260 \nsense that having a switch gears to a<\/p>\n
0:23:16.890,0:23:22.050 \ndifferent interface is and can be<\/p>\n
0:23:19.260,0:23:24.810 \nconfusing for people for me I’m using as<\/p>\n
0:23:22.050,0:23:27.150 \nmany Google products as possible through<\/p>\n
0:23:24.810,0:23:29.700 \nthe Google Chrome interface primarily so<\/p>\n
0:23:27.150,0:23:31.560 \nyou know I didn’t even mention the the<\/p>\n
0:23:29.700,0:23:41.580 \nChromebook flip that I have over here as<\/p>\n
0:23:31.560,0:23:45.210 \nwell so Chrome OS so you know my my<\/p>\n
0:23:41.580,0:23:46.740 \nsetup is is you know using the Google<\/p>\n
0:23:45.210,0:23:49.080 \nChrome browser really as a vessel to<\/p>\n
0:23:46.740,0:23:50.580 \nalmost everything that I do which is you<\/p>\n
0:23:49.080,0:23:52.740 \nknow connected to the web you know I’m<\/p>\n
0:23:50.580,0:23:54.540 \nusing a lot of web technologies the<\/p>\n
0:23:52.740,0:23:57.180 \nreason why I have the cross platform is<\/p>\n
0:23:54.540,0:23:59.550 \nbecause you know I’m using some bits of<\/p>\n
0:23:57.180,0:24:00.480 \nnative software that I want on the<\/p>\n
0:23:59.550,0:24:03.810 \ndesktop os’s<\/p>\n
0:24:00.480,0:24:05.490 \nand I want to be able to and and it’s<\/p>\n
0:24:03.810,0:24:07.350 \nalso you know I do a lot of work with<\/p>\n
0:24:05.490,0:24:09.510 \nEvernote I just I want to be able to<\/p>\n
0:24:07.350,0:24:11.880 \ntest and use Evernote on different<\/p>\n
0:24:09.510,0:24:14.490 \nplatforms to see how they how they would<\/p>\n
0:24:11.880,0:24:15.930 \nwork for a client right and yeah sort of<\/p>\n
0:24:14.490,0:24:19.260 \nthat kind of thing do a lot of testing<\/p>\n
0:24:15.930,0:24:21.870 \nfor those kinds of software so I think<\/p>\n
0:24:19.260,0:24:25.110 \nfor most people my setup is not helpful<\/p>\n
0:24:21.870,0:24:26.820 \nit is not really realistic and but I<\/p>\n
0:24:25.110,0:24:28.950 \nmean what I really do like is the fact<\/p>\n
0:24:26.820,0:24:33.660 \nthat my my processing power is<\/p>\n
0:24:28.950,0:24:35.910 \ndistributed and I I just really need a<\/p>\n
0:24:33.660,0:24:38.310 \nlot of processing power and to be able<\/p>\n
0:24:35.910,0:24:41.130 \nto switch back and forth between you<\/p>\n
0:24:38.310,0:24:43.160 \nknow loading something on one page so<\/p>\n
0:24:41.130,0:24:45.420 \nthat I can be doing something on another<\/p>\n
0:24:43.160,0:24:48.420 \nyou know like if I’m if I’m loading a<\/p>\n
0:24:45.420,0:24:50.700 \nweb site or a large database file I want<\/p>\n
0:24:48.420,0:24:53.190 \nto be able to continue to keep working<\/p>\n
0:24:50.700,0:24:55.200 \nwhile that’s happening and this allows<\/p>\n
0:24:53.190,0:24:56.940 \nme to be able to do that that I think<\/p>\n
0:24:55.200,0:24:59.310 \nyou know is if you have just one<\/p>\n
0:24:56.940,0:25:01.590 \ncomputer with even a very large display<\/p>\n
0:24:59.310,0:25:04.530 \nand I’m actually thinking about getting<\/p>\n
0:25:01.590,0:25:07.080 \na new display for my primary computer to<\/p>\n
0:25:04.530,0:25:08.690 \nyou know be able to do more as I think<\/p>\n
0:25:07.080,0:25:12.300 \nthe screen is just not big enough and<\/p>\n
0:25:08.690,0:25:14.040 \nyou know I I still really need multiple<\/p>\n
0:25:12.300,0:25:16.080 \ncomputers so that I’m I’m capable of<\/p>\n
0:25:14.040,0:25:18.420 \ntesting I still think that I could<\/p>\n
0:25:16.080,0:25:21.840 \nreduce the number of computers I use on<\/p>\n
0:25:18.420,0:25:24.090 \na regular basis so that I’m I’m doing a<\/p>\n
0:25:21.840,0:25:25.740 \nlittle bit more focused work on a larger<\/p>\n
0:25:24.090,0:25:27.450 \nscreen so that’s where I’m sort of going<\/p>\n
0:25:25.740,0:25:29.850 \nwith things you have multiple keyboards<\/p>\n
0:25:27.450,0:25:32.820 \nor do you have one keyboard that allows<\/p>\n
0:25:29.850,0:25:35.370 \nyou to access the different OSS can you<\/p>\n
0:25:32.820,0:25:39.300 \nswitch between them yeah so I came from<\/p>\n
0:25:35.370,0:25:41.640 \na world of the KVM switch where I had<\/p>\n
0:25:39.300,0:25:44.730 \nactually four different computers<\/p>\n
0:25:41.640,0:25:46.980 \nattached to two different laptops one<\/p>\n
0:25:44.730,0:25:49.920 \nthat’s it sat on my desk and one that<\/p>\n
0:25:46.980,0:25:51.780 \nsat on the keyboard tray and so I would<\/p>\n
0:25:49.920,0:25:54.960 \nuse four different computers one which<\/p>\n
0:25:51.780,0:25:58.560 \nwas our main main server that was many<\/p>\n
0:25:54.960,0:26:01.560 \nmany you know offices away in on our<\/p>\n
0:25:58.560,0:26:03.500 \nserver room and so I would connect to it<\/p>\n
0:26:01.560,0:26:07.290 \nthat way you know and use the KVM switch<\/p>\n
0:26:03.500,0:26:09.180 \nnowadays I’m on all laptops so I<\/p>\n
0:26:07.290,0:26:11.370 \nactually am NOT I’m using different<\/p>\n
0:26:09.180,0:26:12.360 \nkeyboards for all of them and so it’s<\/p>\n
0:26:11.370,0:26:14.400 \nthe other thing they take up a lot of<\/p>\n
0:26:12.360,0:26:17.100 \nspace so you know my desk has to be you<\/p>\n
0:26:14.400,0:26:19.980 \nknow you know end to end in computers<\/p>\n
0:26:17.100,0:26:21.510 \nand and the stands that they service it<\/p>\n
0:26:19.980,0:26:24.540 \nin and I’ve gotten I’ve got the setup<\/p>\n
0:26:21.510,0:26:27.000 \ndone pretty well so that my tablets it’s<\/p>\n
0:26:24.540,0:26:30.120 \nyou know next to the computer the phone<\/p>\n
0:26:27.000,0:26:30.930 \nsits on the computer rest or in its own<\/p>\n
0:26:30.120,0:26:33.090 \nlittle stand<\/p>\n
0:26:30.930,0:26:35.970 \nI like having all of the screens pretty<\/p>\n
0:26:33.090,0:26:38.820 \nmuch at the same height and sort of<\/p>\n
0:26:35.970,0:26:41.759 \ntouching distance so that I can sort of<\/p>\n
0:26:38.820,0:26:44.399 \nthe screens and then type on the laptop<\/p>\n
0:26:41.759,0:26:46.320 \nand see them you know side by side and<\/p>\n
0:26:44.399,0:26:49.049 \nI’ve turned off many of the<\/p>\n
0:26:46.320,0:26:50.549 \nnotifications on my my phone and tablet<\/p>\n
0:26:49.049,0:26:53.039 \nso I get only the ones that are<\/p>\n
0:26:50.549,0:26:55.860 \nimportant which keeps decision and<\/p>\n
0:26:53.039,0:26:58.320 \nnotification fatigue to a minimum and so<\/p>\n
0:26:55.860,0:27:00.480 \nso yeah so it’s it’s um it is a bit of<\/p>\n
0:26:58.320,0:27:06.990 \nswitching gears I feel like it gives me<\/p>\n
0:27:00.480,0:27:08.940 \naerobic exercise it’s also good for your<\/p>\n
0:27:06.990,0:27:10.740 \nvision you know you know for those of<\/p>\n
0:27:08.940,0:27:12.149 \nyou who don’t know the 20\/20 rule<\/p>\n
0:27:10.740,0:27:13.830 \nyou’re supposed to every twenty minutes<\/p>\n
0:27:12.149,0:27:16.320 \nyou’re supposed to look away from your<\/p>\n
0:27:13.830,0:27:18.629 \nyou know screen for about twenty seconds<\/p>\n
0:27:16.320,0:27:21.600 \nyou know to something 20 feet away for<\/p>\n
0:27:18.629,0:27:24.330 \nabout 20 seconds and switching gears<\/p>\n
0:27:21.600,0:27:27.629 \nbetween the different you know distances<\/p>\n
0:27:24.330,0:27:30.210 \nfor the various screens gives me you<\/p>\n
0:27:27.629,0:27:32.309 \nknow gives my eyes a little bit of you<\/p>\n
0:27:30.210,0:27:33.690 \nknow exercise but also you know giving<\/p>\n
0:27:32.309,0:27:36.149 \nthem a little bit of rest from staring<\/p>\n
0:27:33.690,0:27:39.360 \nat one screen at one distance all the<\/p>\n
0:27:36.149,0:27:41.399 \ntime and I do I do have a little note of<\/p>\n
0:27:39.360,0:27:42.840 \nno note afire that tells me to look away<\/p>\n
0:27:41.399,0:27:45.509 \nfrom my screen so that I can do the<\/p>\n
0:27:42.840,0:27:52.529 \n20-20-20 rule I had a thought actually<\/p>\n
0:27:45.509,0:27:55.620 \nyou said my setup may not apply to many<\/p>\n
0:27:52.529,0:27:59.960 \npeople and and probably mine either<\/p>\n
0:27:55.620,0:28:03.330 \nand probably Frances either what I have<\/p>\n
0:27:59.960,0:28:05.340 \nidentified over the years helping people<\/p>\n
0:28:03.330,0:28:09.090 \nyou know move into being<\/p>\n
0:28:05.340,0:28:11.909 \niPad only or even recommended nope sorry<\/p>\n
0:28:09.090,0:28:16.159 \nyou cannot be iPad only is that every<\/p>\n
0:28:11.909,0:28:19.799 \nsetup it has their own unique and<\/p>\n
0:28:16.159,0:28:23.220 \nsometimes geek people tend to add more<\/p>\n
0:28:19.799,0:28:25.669 \ncomputers to set up less geek people you<\/p>\n
0:28:23.220,0:28:28.830 \nknow wants to do different things but<\/p>\n
0:28:25.669,0:28:32.429 \ndoesn’t matter what you have computer<\/p>\n
0:28:28.830,0:28:35.789 \nwise and and if that’s set up it is what<\/p>\n
0:28:32.429,0:28:37.769 \nis important is to come and look what is<\/p>\n
0:28:35.789,0:28:40.620 \nwhat is going to allow you to do the job<\/p>\n
0:28:37.769,0:28:44.070 \nmore effectively you know you and I were<\/p>\n
0:28:40.620,0:28:46.830 \ndiscussing recently comment I got from<\/p>\n
0:28:44.070,0:28:48.929 \nfrom somebody a friend of mine saying<\/p>\n
0:28:46.830,0:28:52.039 \nwell the problem is you know I’m in<\/p>\n
0:28:48.929,0:28:53.809 \nstock with this PC computer<\/p>\n
0:28:52.039,0:28:55.940 \nstuck with this computer where I cannot<\/p>\n
0:28:53.809,0:28:58.129 \ninstall stuff where I cannot change your<\/p>\n
0:28:55.940,0:29:00.799 \nstuff where I cannot do anything of<\/p>\n
0:28:58.129,0:29:03.499 \nthose stuff and even that I may agree<\/p>\n
0:29:00.799,0:29:06.049 \nwith some of the stuff you said you know<\/p>\n
0:29:03.499,0:29:08.559 \nI’m stuck that’s this is what it is<\/p>\n
0:29:06.049,0:29:13.399 \nand these are the tools that I have and<\/p>\n
0:29:08.559,0:29:16.309 \nthat’s reality you know limit in a way a<\/p>\n
0:29:13.399,0:29:19.070 \nlot of people not everybody can come and<\/p>\n
0:29:16.309,0:29:21.649 \ndo you know what the three of us do that<\/p>\n
0:29:19.070,0:29:23.239 \nis let’s pick the device or let’s change<\/p>\n
0:29:21.649,0:29:24.979 \nthe device because now it’s more<\/p>\n
0:29:23.239,0:29:27.470 \nconvenient or less have the three<\/p>\n
0:29:24.979,0:29:29.960 \ndevices to work you know the reality is<\/p>\n
0:29:27.470,0:29:33.919 \nthere is an incredible large group of<\/p>\n
0:29:29.960,0:29:38.840 \npeople who is stuck on whatever machine<\/p>\n
0:29:33.919,0:29:39.349 \nis you know are you thinking in that<\/p>\n
0:29:38.840,0:29:42.139 \nmachine<\/p>\n
0:29:39.349,0:29:43.970 \nwell the question is why you know if you<\/p>\n
0:29:42.139,0:29:46.070 \ndon’t like I understand you need to do<\/p>\n
0:29:43.970,0:29:48.049 \nthe job in there but you can go for<\/p>\n
0:29:46.070,0:29:50.539 \nother tools when you now go to high<\/p>\n
0:29:48.049,0:29:52.340 \nlevel thinking or when you go and do<\/p>\n
0:29:50.539,0:29:55.450 \nplanning and when you go and do other<\/p>\n
0:29:52.340,0:29:59.029 \nthings so it’s also a matter of<\/p>\n
0:29:55.450,0:30:02.539 \nunderstand a lot of these solutions are<\/p>\n
0:29:59.029,0:30:04.249 \ncoming really out of creativity into<\/p>\n
0:30:02.539,0:30:06.979 \ntrying to solve<\/p>\n
0:30:04.249,0:30:09.019 \nI want problems when I travel when I<\/p>\n
0:30:06.979,0:30:11.659 \nused to travel a lot yeah I check email<\/p>\n
0:30:09.019,0:30:14.840 \non my ax on my phone you know my phone<\/p>\n
0:30:11.659,0:30:17.019 \nwas my main email machine because that<\/p>\n
0:30:14.840,0:30:19.700 \nwas the thing that was with me 24\/7<\/p>\n
0:30:17.019,0:30:22.070 \nsince I don’t travel that much when I<\/p>\n
0:30:19.700,0:30:24.470 \ndon’t need it probably if I will start<\/p>\n
0:30:22.070,0:30:27.470 \ntraveling again hopefully not that much<\/p>\n
0:30:24.470,0:30:29.119 \nat least okay I will need to activate an<\/p>\n
0:30:27.470,0:30:32.299 \nemail on the phone because that’s the<\/p>\n
0:30:29.119,0:30:34.639 \nmain computer for me and that’s what you<\/p>\n
0:30:32.299,0:30:37.460 \nneed to understand is what is the main<\/p>\n
0:30:34.639,0:30:39.889 \ncomputer and what need to be done in<\/p>\n
0:30:37.460,0:30:42.739 \nthat main computer and what can be done<\/p>\n
0:30:39.889,0:30:45.349 \nin a different way because he otherwise<\/p>\n
0:30:42.739,0:30:48.320 \nyou can you can throw hard work at the<\/p>\n
0:30:45.349,0:30:50.779 \nproblem but if you don’t think what is<\/p>\n
0:30:48.320,0:30:53.479 \nthe problem and what can be the creative<\/p>\n
0:30:50.779,0:30:56.599 \nsolution to the problem you know throw<\/p>\n
0:30:53.479,0:30:59.330 \nhard word at it will not solve it you<\/p>\n
0:30:56.599,0:31:01.309 \nknow Frances begin saying he had you<\/p>\n
0:30:59.330,0:31:02.809 \nknow the three devices and this device<\/p>\n
0:31:01.309,0:31:05.350 \nhe used for consumption<\/p>\n
0:31:02.809,0:31:08.590 \nand and I<\/p>\n
0:31:05.350,0:31:10.870 \nyou know guarantee that decide that that<\/p>\n
0:31:08.590,0:31:13.539 \ndevice was going to be you know the<\/p>\n
0:31:10.870,0:31:16.570 \nconsumption that the consumption device<\/p>\n
0:31:13.539,0:31:19.120 \nwas in a decision that was made you know<\/p>\n
0:31:16.570,0:31:20.980 \nin a morning oh well I’m going to go and<\/p>\n
0:31:19.120,0:31:23.440 \nbuy the device and now it is go ahead<\/p>\n
0:31:20.980,0:31:25.750 \nwith just France option you know it’s<\/p>\n
0:31:23.440,0:31:27.639 \nbeen a problem I would love if Frances<\/p>\n
0:31:25.750,0:31:29.529 \ncan spend a couple of minutes into<\/p>\n
0:31:27.639,0:31:33.340 \nexplaining how do you reach that<\/p>\n
0:31:29.529,0:31:35.830 \nconclusion and I estimate we are going<\/p>\n
0:31:33.340,0:31:39.549 \nto need an episode two on this next week<\/p>\n
0:31:35.830,0:31:43.570 \nbut I will love Frances to go into fine<\/p>\n
0:31:39.549,0:31:48.779 \nyou make that distinction but why trial<\/p>\n
0:31:43.570,0:31:48.779 \nand error that’s all I have for you<\/p>\n
0:31:53.970,0:31:59.139 \nnothing there’s nothing wrong with the<\/p>\n
0:31:58.090,0:32:00.850 \nday Morgana<\/p>\n
0:31:59.139,0:32:03.850 \nyou know what I mean and being sort of<\/p>\n
0:32:00.850,0:32:05.980 \nnatural you know I will I will say it as<\/p>\n
0:32:03.850,0:32:07.419 \nwe as we close out you know for me I was<\/p>\n
0:32:05.980,0:32:12.190 \nrecently trying to make the decision<\/p>\n
0:32:07.419,0:32:15.009 \nbetween the using an Android base Lenovo<\/p>\n
0:32:12.190,0:32:18.789 \nyoga book you know which has got this<\/p>\n
0:32:15.009,0:32:21.519 \nreally great handwriting surface and you<\/p>\n
0:32:18.789,0:32:24.460 \nknow haptic keyboard that sort of flips<\/p>\n
0:32:21.519,0:32:26.320 \nbehind the the the screen and becomes a<\/p>\n
0:32:24.460,0:32:30.539 \ntablet and is sort of this hybrid<\/p>\n
0:32:26.320,0:32:33.190 \nbetween a laptop and a tablet device and<\/p>\n
0:32:30.539,0:32:35.230 \nalmost a writing device as well because<\/p>\n
0:32:33.190,0:32:37.629 \nit does all of these great you know<\/p>\n
0:32:35.230,0:32:40.720 \ncapable of drawing and whatnot but at<\/p>\n
0:32:37.629,0:32:44.200 \nthe end of the day I recognized that you<\/p>\n
0:32:40.720,0:32:45.250 \nknow my needs in terms of software were<\/p>\n
0:32:44.200,0:32:48.009 \nvery different<\/p>\n
0:32:45.250,0:32:49.929 \nyou know if I were maybe more artistic<\/p>\n
0:32:48.009,0:32:51.970 \nyou know I did did some kind of visual<\/p>\n
0:32:49.929,0:32:55.120 \narts work where I where I was actually<\/p>\n
0:32:51.970,0:32:57.149 \ndrawing and sketching a lot maybe it<\/p>\n
0:32:55.120,0:33:00.129 \nmight have pushed me in that direction<\/p>\n
0:32:57.149,0:33:03.039 \nbut the kind of work that I do you know<\/p>\n
0:33:00.129,0:33:06.990 \nI I recognize that the that the tablet<\/p>\n
0:33:03.039,0:33:10.269 \nwas really going to serve me better and<\/p>\n
0:33:06.990,0:33:14.019 \nlimited make sure that you understand<\/p>\n
0:33:10.269,0:33:15.970 \nthis limited my functionality so that I<\/p>\n
0:33:14.019,0:33:18.100 \ncould be more productive again it<\/p>\n
0:33:15.970,0:33:18.909 \nallowed me to focus the what did I need<\/p>\n
0:33:18.100,0:33:21.759 \nto do on this<\/p>\n
0:33:18.909,0:33:25.749 \ntop in order to get things done and it<\/p>\n
0:33:21.759,0:33:28.330 \nwasn’t you know having a Wacom based you<\/p>\n
0:33:25.749,0:33:31.419 \nknow fun little tablet drawing tool<\/p>\n
0:33:28.330,0:33:33.549 \nbuilt into my Lenovo yoga book and I was<\/p>\n
0:33:31.419,0:33:34.869 \ngetting it because it was going it was I<\/p>\n
0:33:33.549,0:33:37.090 \nwas gonna play around with it and I<\/p>\n
0:33:34.869,0:33:39.159 \nrecognized that doodling during a<\/p>\n
0:33:37.090,0:33:41.139 \nmeeting isn’t something that I need or<\/p>\n
0:33:39.159,0:33:42.879 \nwant to do and I know that’s something<\/p>\n
0:33:41.139,0:33:44.499 \nthat people do and I get the people<\/p>\n
0:33:42.879,0:33:46.299 \ndoodle while they’re on conference calls<\/p>\n
0:33:44.499,0:33:48.369 \nthey doodle while they’re in meetings I<\/p>\n
0:33:46.299,0:33:49.779 \ndon’t do that and I don’t want to<\/p>\n
0:33:48.369,0:33:51.519 \nencourage myself to do that<\/p>\n
0:33:49.779,0:33:53.590 \nbecause I take notes in order to focus<\/p>\n
0:33:51.519,0:33:56.889 \nand so I actually made the conscious<\/p>\n
0:33:53.590,0:33:59.139 \ndecision to not get something that was<\/p>\n
0:33:56.889,0:34:00.820 \ngoing to be more distracting than not in<\/p>\n
0:33:59.139,0:34:01.960 \nterms of hardware because I knew that I<\/p>\n
0:34:00.820,0:34:04.659 \nwant to play with it you know it has<\/p>\n
0:34:01.960,0:34:07.119 \nthis really great flippin tool piece<\/p>\n
0:34:04.659,0:34:09.099 \nthat sort of cradles the device back and<\/p>\n
0:34:07.119,0:34:10.690 \nforth the hinges the device back and<\/p>\n
0:34:09.099,0:34:11.980 \nforth and I was like you know what I’m<\/p>\n
0:34:10.690,0:34:14.020 \ngonna play with that I’m gonna play with<\/p>\n
0:34:11.980,0:34:16.240 \nit until it breaks you know and so I<\/p>\n
0:34:14.020,0:34:17.470 \njust chose chose not to so as you’re<\/p>\n
0:34:16.240,0:34:19.839 \ngoing forward with making these<\/p>\n
0:34:17.470,0:34:21.099 \ndecisions recognize that you know make<\/p>\n
0:34:19.839,0:34:23.529 \nsure that you’re buying technology<\/p>\n
0:34:21.099,0:34:25.629 \nthat’s gonna suit the functionality and<\/p>\n
0:34:23.529,0:34:27.549 \nand and what you need to get done as<\/p>\n
0:34:25.629,0:34:29.649 \nopposed to what might actually create<\/p>\n
0:34:27.549,0:34:32.429 \nand cause distractions so you’re<\/p>\n
0:34:29.649,0:34:37.029 \nadvising us to actually get a stuff done<\/p>\n
0:34:32.429,0:34:37.029 \n[Laughter]<\/p>\n
