Are You a Junk Information Junkie?


I read a Facebook status update the other day that went something like this: "Spent a few hours cleaning up my e-mail inbox. Down to zero unread messages!"

Meanwhile, in the Gmail account I use for work, I have 1,249 unread messages. My personal Gmail account has 5,162 unread messages. The Yahoo account I use strictly to play fantasy sports? I have 28,815 unread messages. Oh, the shame. And I know I’m not alone.

We’re living in an age of information overload. But the problem isn’t just that we’re hamstrung by the sheer volume of the information we’re bombarded with. It’s also the quality of the information we’re consuming. The scurrilous and salacious sells, and we’re gorging ourselves on it. Experts have a name for this. It’s called junk information, and like junk food, it can be delicious – and dangerous.

I’m just as guilty as anybody. And we all know how easy it is to fall down the Internet rabbit hole. An article on Kim Kardashian’s latest selfie leads to an op-ed savaging Kanye West’s recent circus of a wedding proposal, which prompts daily “Kanye is self-destructing” updates on TMZ, so you check out a list of the top 20 craziest things ever said by musicians, and since you’re checking out lists, you click over to a list of the top 27 cutest baby animals… and then, four hours have passed and you’re no closer to getting your work done.

Junk information can be a productivity killer. Clay Johnson, author of the book “The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption,” is on a crusade to get us on a more positive track. He offers a host of tools that can help you cut back on junk information:

Everything in moderation: Since information is something we decide to consume, Johnson says we must be mindful of what we take in. For every lowest-common-denominator rant we read in the comments section after a news article, we should make an effort to read something of high quality, such as the Sunday editorial section of The New York Times or taking an hour to watch the PBS News Hour. The goal is moderation and tempering vitriol, trivial information and wild conjecture – or low quality information – with thoughtful reasoning and cold, hard facts.

Fitness is your friend: Johnson advises to try something called “information fitness,” which is another way of saying put strict limits on your consumption in order to preserve your ability to focus. Tabbed browsing and endless e-mail windows are often the productive office worker’s worst enemy. Try an app like Mailbox or some of the tab management tools available for Chrome and Firefox.

Take a time-out: Set a timer. For every hour your spend working, you can take ten minutes for an unbridled junk information bacchanal, or just to walk around and get some fresh air. Reset. Repeat. The best part? The experts say that these short breaks actually reduce information overload and boost productivity.

Go vegan: Or as Johnson calls it, an infovegan. An infovegan is “someone who makes a deliberate decision to remove a vast amount of news and information sources from one’s diet, sticking to a well-constrained, allowable set of consumption inputs for their own health’s sake.” While this may be extreme for many, it may be the best – and only – option for some of the most diehard junk information junkies out there who are looking to boost their productivity.

Listen folks I have been working online for a while and setting up a presence to be able to tell my story to the world and allow my relatives and friends from all over the world to see what cool and new things I have been doing.  Essentially telling my story...
 

I want to be able to help you believe in yourself and show you that it takes guts to be able to tell your story.  But your story is very important to help the rest of the world in many ways.  I do not know your story so I cannot give you reasons why at this moment, but I want to learn about your story and help you learn how to tell it in a compelling way and make a video about it so the rest of the world can also learn from what you went through and accomplished.

10 Steps to Article Writing for Dummies

Are you an article writer? And you are having challenges and problems meeting your article writing goals that is creating and writing thousands of valuable, relevant and unique articles? Then this article is definitely for you. Most article writers always complain of not knowing what methods and techniques to create quality articles on the web, and always come up with quality article ideas that will always generate human interest and attract high pageviews to your article pages.



In this article, I have suggested several ways you can always generate quality article ideas so, you can easily increase your income especially when you write for sites like Triond that pays you based on pageviews:

1. Increase Your Knowledgebase on Different Topics: Despite how good and knowledgable you are in a particular topic or subject, you will not be able to write tons of quality and unique articles. So the best way to increase your ability to write hundreds and even thousands of articles that are unique, full of quality and value to your readers is to begin to increase your knowledge on either related areas of your expertise or entirely new subjects. For example, if you are knowledgable on Internet marketing, you can learn about other related topics under Internet marketing such as: blogging, WordPress, WordPress themes and plugins, etc or you can learn entirely new subjects such as sports, gardening, journalism or fashion.
Doing this increases your capacity to create a lot of quality articles and helps improve your writing skills and appeal to a wide range of readers and can land you a lot of freelancewriting gigs as a freelancewriter.

2. Research on The Web and Write Review Articles: The Internet is full of interesting websites that a lot of people want to know about in various niche markets online. All you need to do is to research all over the Internet and look for websites you feel offer some sort of cool and interesting features and services or products that is worth talking about and that will interest people online, write short articles about these sites teaching about their products and services and publish them on Triond.

These type of articles are easy to write, all you need to do is to send about one or two hours reading about everything and section on the site, try to sign up on the site if it offers a membership option and get to know about it’s membership benefits and all, summarize everything you have gathered and learn’t about the website in a 500 – 1,500 word article. There are millions of sites that offer interesting products, services and features to the web community in different niche markets/industries that you can write thousands of articles on. You can write your first review article now, don’t go too far, check out sites in your niche market or topic of specialization on Google search engine, spend some time studying each website and summarize all you have learn’t about the site in an article, then you have your review article written. You can review as many websites as you can possibly research on.

3. Personal Experiences: What are your personal experiences in life whether good or bad experiences? You can offer some form of knowledge or advice to other people from your personal experiences in life, love, family, religion, relationship with the opposite sex, job or business.
Writing does not have to be all professional, write about your personal; experiences and you will be amazed how many people want to learn a few things about your experiences as an individual even your personal mistakes can be an article teaching people how to avoid your mistakes. I am about to publish an article on Triond based on my personal experiences on my search on earning a living online. Though not yet published but you can be notified via your NewsFeed when you add me as a freind when the article published.

4. Your Hobbies: A Hobby is an activity you do at your spare time both consciously and unconsciously. You can write an article (or articles) based on your hobby because to a great extent you have some things to share on your hobby that you may not know at the moment. All you need to do is to ask yourself reasons why you choose that particular hobby and what are the benefits you have derived from your  hobby, list them and explain on paper, there you have article in the making, you get the picture? Your hobby can be an activity non-related to your area of profession, career or business, so you see that will be an nice angle to create new, fresh, quality and unique articles that will interest a new group of readers.

5. Other People’s Mistakes and Experiences: What mistakes do people around you and close relatives have made? What moral or personal lessons did you draw from those mistakes or experiences of other people? You can also write them as articles but don’t write the names of those people involved.
Listen to people when they speak about their mistakes and experiences whether good or bad experiences and write articles offering some form of advice on how to avoid those experiences and mistakes especially it caused those people so much pain, regret, anger and financial loss.

6. Re-write Junk Content on Other  Websites: The best way to find junk articles with bad sentence formation, wrong spellings, grammatical errors, wrong presentation of article ideas and article structures is mainly on Article directories and guest post submission sites, under my niche categories, I look for articles that are poorly written, lack concrete facts about the knowledge or information they are sharing with their readers. I print these articles and re-write and do some research and brainstorm on what information or knowledge the authors were trying to communicate with their readers, then I research on the web on more concrete and solid facts to add to the article to make it more unique and quality, then I rewrite the articles and submit on either Triond or other paid site I write for online.
If this process looks clear and understandable to you, you can follow it to create a lot of articles. Why I like this article writing technique is because I don’t have to generate new article ideas, all I do is re-write the junk articles in a unique, smarter, better way and structure with a more professional and catchy title that is keyword optimized.

7. Answer  Peoples’ Questions: There are a lot of question-and-answer websites online where people go to ask unique questions that relates to their various needs. Some of the popular Q&A sites millions of  people visit everyday to ask questions that they need experts to answer those questions. Such Sites are Yahoo Answers, AnswerBag, Mahalo, ExpertBee and Answers.
Visit those websites, register with them. To locate the questions people ask in their niche market or area of specialization, Type in your target niche keyword on the search bar of the website. When questions asked by members of the site appears on the results pages, search for the questions you know you can answer, write an article, publish it on Triond and then submit the article link on the answer site so that members who asked the question can read your article on the topic of their questions. This method can also be used to promote your Triond articles.

8. Keyword Research: As an article writer, keyword research is your “spyglass” to discover untapped markets or keyword industries or niches that you are not meeting with your articles. This technique is needed by Triond writers, bloggers and freelancewriters to find related topics in the area of their expertise or specialization where they can create more and unique articles that are useful and relevant to their readers. Use the Google Keyword Tool to carry out your keyword research online. When you open the tool, type in the particular keyword phrase in the search bar and it will give exact and broad terms related to your keyword niche. When you run out of new article ideas to write in your niche market, use the tool to generate new article ideas without stress. Also, use Nicheaday.com and MarketSamurai Software to carry out keyword research on new keyword niches.

9. Create an Article Series: There are times you have one big article idea that you will not be able to explain in a single article, what you need to do is to create a series for that article idea. This type of article writing technique has the potential to turn your single article idea to tons of  uniquely written articles. All you need to do to create an article series, is to think up a general article idea, divide your idea with the following words: What, How, Where and From into sections and sub-ideas, list your sub-ideas under these words and start providing unique and separate information under each article idea. Then you have created several articles under one article idea.

10. Google Hot Trends: This is just a tool / service by Google to display the top keyword terms a lot of people usually in thousands and even tens of thousands are using to search for a particular information. This is an event based keyword research tool that tells you what thousands of people are searching for at a particular time.

All you need to do is to find out what keywords are trending high (usually events, movies and celebrities), research on the keywords and write articles on them and submit your article on Triond.
When you use these techniques above, I believe you will always come up with new ideas to create unique, relevant and quality articles for your Triond readers. Share this article with your friends and bookmark it for future reference if you find useful and helpful. Share your ideas by making comments.

Listen folks I have been working online for a while and setting up a presence to be able to tell my story to the world and allow my relatives and friends from all over the world to see what cool and new things I have been doing.  Essentially telling my story...
 
I want to be able to help you believe in yourself and show you that it takes guts to be able to tell your story.  But your story is very important to help the rest of the world in many ways.  I do not know your story so I cannot give you reasons why at this moment, but I want to learn about your story and help you learn how to tell it in a compelling way and make a video about it so the rest of the world can also learn from what you went through and accomplished.

7 Business Apps Every Professional Should Download


Smartphones have given today’s mobile workers the ability to not have to worry about having everything they need before they get moving. Which is great, until they end up in a conference, airplane, or other no-reception zone without the crucial One Thing I Need. Good smartphone and tablet tools don't just provide access – they think ahead and plan for contingencies, like a personal assistant. They’re the tools that can make your job a whole lot easier.


Which apps do this? We happen to have seven of them, linked and ready for installing. The best part: all of them, except one category, are free, and the one that isn’t free is notably less than a hamburger.

1. TripIt


TripIt is a personal assistant for travel, especially if you give it access to your email inbox and let it scan for tickets and itineraries. Afterward, you literally don’t have to do anything except open the app to see all the details: your confirmation number, your departure time, the address of your hotel, the distance to the conference center, and the website of the restaurant you’re supposed to eat at Friday night. Open it up at least once before you journey and TripIt will hold your travel details for offline viewing, in case you don’t want to spring for WiFi on the plane. (iPhone/iPadAndroid)

2. QuickOffice


There are all kinds of mobile business apps that claim to work well with Microsoft Office documents, but only so many offer only read-only access. Those that do offer editing tools often want to tie you into their own cloud storage schemes. Not QuickOffice. This app was recently acquired by Google, but it still works as a utilitarian open, edit, and save solution for quick views and adjustments. We’ve talked about the importance of information mobility, and this app provides a great way for mobile workers to access documents on the go. (iTunesAndroid)

3. Pocket (or Instapaper)


Which app looks and works better is a matter of taste, but both Pocket and Instapaper do their jobs remarkably well. That job: take blog posts, news articles, and other content on the web (including everything at WorkIntelligent.ly – shameless plug), strip it down to just the text and necessary images, and save them to your device for reading when you have time. Big offices used to have such “clipping services” way back when, but they didn’t let you choose your favorite font. (Pocket: iTunesAndroid; Instapaper: iTunesAndroid)

4. Agenda (or Fantastical)


It’s odd how unhelpful the default calendar on an iPhone or Android can be. With how much design has gone into the OS of each, how can something as simple as a calendar cause so many headaches? Why can’t you just get an agenda view of everything that’s happening today when you start it up? Why does entering the time and date of an event feel like unlocking a bank vault? My own fix is Agenda Calendar 4, which makes smart guesses about when you want to schedule things, shows your day in a well-designed glance view, and generally gives you more information and links from an event than Calendar. If you frequently use the iPhone’s Reminders function, you might instead try Fantastical 2, which ties directly into the iPhone’s alerts and reminders systems. (Agenda: iTunesAndroid; Fantastical: iTunes)

5. Chrome


Chrome is Google’s own browser. Your iPhone already has the Safari browser, and your Android phone likely has its own default browser. So why would you bother to install a browser that shows the same web pages as either of these? One big reason: if you use Chrome on a desktop computer and sign in on both your desktop and phone with your Google account, you can see and open any tab you had open on your desktop browser when you left it. Or just start typing in a few words from the page you already went to into Chrome’s search bar, and Chrome should come up with it. It feels magical (and maybe a bit creepy). (iTunesAndroid)

6. CloudCube (Android only)


Maybe you already feel backed up, cloud-connected, and ready to grab your files from anywhere. So cloud-connected, in fact, that you sometimes have a hard time remembering in which cloud you stored that certain file, and where you have room to put that next big one. CloudCube works with all the notable syncing services: Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box, SugarSync, and more. Move files between clouds, see what’s inside each account, and even sync folders between your Android device and your services of choice. (Android)

7. IFTTT (If This Then That) (iPhone only)


Wouldn’t it be neat if every time you took a screenshot of your iPhone, that screenshot was automatically saved to where you want it? Or if every time you completed a Reminder on your phone, it emailed the appropriate person to let them know, automatically? Or if you could see, on your phone, every photo you’ve been tagged in from Facebook? With IFTTT (short for If This Then That), that kind of two-step, non-thinking action is entirely possible. The hardest part is thinking up the “recipes” that you want for your phone, but after playing with the website a bit, you should get a real sense of just how many things can be done without your having to even think about it. Be sure to install this iPhone app so you can take full advantage of that set-and-forget productivity. (iTunes).

8. Cam Scanner

All business must have camscanner. Scan: invoices, receipts, documents with your phone to send to office or others. Crops out background like your knees. Cleans up copy. You can text, email or send to various cloud sites and it works great.


What other business apps do you consider critical to getting the job done either while on the go, or at the office?
