How to double your brain power
Tiago Forte is the founder of Forte Labs and author of the book
"Building A Second Brain". He explains that to double your brain
power, you should create a personal system for knowledge
management. This system is called C.O.D.E - Capture, Organize,
Distill, and Express. According to Forte, you should save any insight
that surprises you - such as the way his father, a professional artist, is
also one of the most productive people he has ever met. Forte reveals
that creativity is not inventing something from nothing; instead it is all
about applying an insight from one domain to another. Productivity is
the other half of the coin when it comes to creativity.
The Habit That Could Improve Your Career
Reflection is a powerful habit that can have a dramatic impact on our
lives, especially our careers. A 2020 survey showed that the ability to
reflect is one of the most important skills of a good leader. Reflection
helps us to learn and analyze our experiences without judgment. This
practice can be done through writing, audio recordings or other methods
that suit us best. No matter what industry or stage of life we are in,
reflection provides valuable insight and data that can help us to improve
our performance and make better decisions. It has also helped me to
build better relationships in my work. Despite its benefits, many of us
don't take time out for regular reflection. Therefore, I urge you to take a
moment at the end of the day or before you start the next one, to sit
down and reflect - you'll be amazed at the positive effect this habit will
bring into your life!
, How a Young Engineer Saved the Moon Landing
Margaret Hamilton was a trailblazer in the field of software
engineering, having developed NASA's in-flight software for Apollo.
Throughout her career she displayed a knack for foreseeing potential
problems and quickly finding solutions. This ability originated from an
incident involving her four-year-old daughter, when she crashed a
mission to the moon simulation during a visit to the workplace.
Hamilton compulsively added code to the software as a safeguard to
prevent the same incident from happening during the Apollo 11 moon
landing. Her coding prioritised the most important tasks and allowed
the mission to stay on track, thus helping to make one of the boldest
milestones in human history possible. In 2017, President Barack Obama
honored Hamilton with the Presidential Medal of Freedom - the highest
civilian award in the United States - for her work launching an industry
that is now revolutionising human history.
Google Embarrasses Themselves
The race for AI dominance is heating up as Microsoft fired the first shot
across the bow on February 7th with their grand plan for AI. The next
day, Google responded by unveiling their own AI. At Microsoft's
presentation, CEO Satya Nadella discussed how AI is changing every
walk of life. Their new Bing search engine is powered by a much more
powerful AI than chat GPT and is tuned specifically for search.
Microsoft also introduced an AI co-pilot, which encourages users to be
more conversational than with a regular search bar or Google search.
Additionally, they have added AI into their edge browser which allows
users to pull up a PDF, ask questions about it, summarize it and compare
it to other sources on the web. It is clear that both companies are making
major strides in the field of AI.
Google's new AI chat bot Bard has already made a costly mistake. In its
first advertisement, it provided a wrong answer which caused Alphabet's
share price to drop, resulting in a loss of 100 billion dollars. Hours
before the Google event in Paris, where an executive was touting Bard as
the future of the company, the error was spotted. The event failed to
