Aprende a estudiar inglés Hace algún tiempo escribí un post bastante genérico sobre cómo estudiar inglés. La idea principal que quería transmitir entonces es que no debes aburrirte y para ello debes combinar el inglés con la vida diaria y buscar personas que te motiven. En este post seré mucho más concreta; diré exactamente cuáles son los pasos que debes seguir con cada uno de los temas más importantes. En primer lugar, hay que aclarar que una cosa es estudiar para un examen del instituto o colegio y otra muy distinta es estudiar para aprender inglés por tu cuenta o con la ayuda de algún curso o clases particulares. Por tanto, intentaremos, "aprender," no solamente "estudiar". En este artículo trataré el tema de cómo estudiar para realmente aprender inglés por tu cuenta o con la ayuda de un profesor o curso. Estos son los pasos a seguir: 1) Ordena tu cabeza. Cómo se ordena una cabeza Uno de los mejores métodos para ordenar una cabeza es coger un cuaderno o libreta y un bolígrafo para apuntar tus ideas. Cuidado aquí.

How to Get Things Done with Jott - Lifehack.org I first tried out Jott last year, and was really impressed with what it could do. You call their number, say something into the phone, and it sends it as a text message back to you. And it works — aside from a few odd names and strange words, its transcriptions are pretty much spot on. Apparently they run your voice message through a speech-to-text engine and then run it by a human operator for double-checking. However they make it work, it’s pretty slick. But I couldn’t figure out much to do with it at the time. In the last few months, though, Jott’s introduced their Jott Links service, which allows you to use Jott to add items to your todo list, send messages to other people, even blog using their service. All it takes is a little set-up, first in your Jott account, then on your phone, and you can start Jotting things to any number of online services. First things first: send yourself a message Sign up for a Jott account. Send yourself a reminder Call Jott. Login to your Jott account.

Adding Fractions There are 3 Simple Steps to add fractions: Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put the answer over the denominator Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed) Example 1: Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. In picture form it looks like this: ... and do you see how 2/4 is simpler as 1/2 ? Example 2: Step 1: The bottom numbers are different. We need to make them the same before we can continue, because we can't add them like that. The number "6" is twice as big as "3", so to make the bottom numbers the same we can multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction by 2, like this: Important: you multiply both top and bottom by the same amount, to keep the value of the fraction the same Now the fractions have the same bottom number ("6"), and our question looks like this: The bottom numbers are now the same, so we can go to step 2.

Get Less Done: Stop Being Productive and Enjoy Yourself Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. There’s too much emphasis these days on productivity, on hyperefficiency, on squeezing the most production out of every last minute. People have forgotten how to relax. How to be lazy. How to enjoy life. Try this: read some of the best books, magazines and blogs on productivity, and see how many will tell you how to get the most out of the time you spend waiting, how to maximize your energy, how to make use of your commute time, how to make every meeting more effective, how to get more out of your workday, how to crank out more widgets. People are working longer hours, constantly checking their inboxes, constantly focused on Getting More Done. But to what end? Are we producing more in order to make more money for corporations? It’s possible we’re trying to get more done because we love doing it — and if that’s the case, that’s wonderful. Let’s take a brief look at how to do that. My answer: “Enjoy it!” It’s how I work every day. Some steps:

Block Your Time – Effective Time Blocking Techniques To Boost Your Productivity Quite recently I video blogged about time blocking and how to do it the right way. I have also blogged about this topic on Bob and Rosemary’s blog earlier this fall (that was from online business perspective). The main message on my video was that not only should you block your time, but you should block your location too. This post continues the time blocking theme and extends it a little bit. In fact, I want to bring up couple of extra points to time blocking and how to make it a more effective productivity tool for you. The what and why of time blocking First, let’s define what time blocking means. There are many benefits why you should do time blocking: Mental preparedness When you define a task to the future, you can expect it come and you are mentally prepared for it. Especially if the task you are doing is a complex one, you can be mentally prepared for it in advance. Focusing on your task Time blocking also means focusing on one task at a time. Improved productivity Less stress 1. 2. 3.
structured procrastination Author practices jumping rope with seaweed while work awaits. I have been intending to write this essay for months. Why am I finally doing it? Because I finally found some uncommitted time? Wrong. I have papers to grade, textbook orders to fill out, an NSF proposal to referee, dissertation drafts to read. Structured procrastination means shaping the structure of the tasks one has to do in a way that exploits this fact. The most perfect situation for structured procrastination that I ever had was when my wife and I served as Resident Fellows in Soto House, a Stanford dormitory. Procrastinators often follow exactly the wrong tack. At this point you may be asking, "How about the important tasks at the top of the list, that one never does?" The trick is to pick the right sorts of projects for the top of the list. Another example is book order forms.
