Blog news & media picks for Jul 19 - Aug 22

Hi there. Since the last post I've finished (!!!) 2 guides:

  1. How to use (free) Trello to speed up your personal projects and learning. A long one.
  2. Tiny tricks that do wonders. A relevantly short one.

But the biggest one is still coming. And growing unmanageably…

Media picks from the last ~30 days:

I. Health & Balance

3. What it’s like to have ADHD as a grown woman

Turns out, symptoms can be different for women.

II. Maker Skills, People Skills

4. A great health check for the quality of your learning & habit development: 

What have I changed about myself in the past 12 months?

5. Self-knowledge: an advanced version of MBTI test, with clear and well-structured explanations (Strengths & Weaknesses, Friendships, Career Paths)

Labeling can be limiting, tests can be unreliable, but while reading my profile I got reminded of some of the weaknesses and strengths I'd long lost awareness of, which has been helpful in my decision-making as of lately. Try it, that test isn't time-consuming. And is free.

6. Life of introverts, in graphs.

7. Science says that lonely people's brains work differently:

When people feel most alone, these results suggest their brains are not tuned in to smiles and laughter, they’re switched on to frowns and snarls — they’re vigilantly looking out for negativity without really knowing it.

III. Goodness

8. It's the end of summer already and the air is getting cold, so… this.
