A paraphrased Emerson quote: "What you are shouts so loudly in my ears, I cannot hear what you say." Still true today. We all have an innate ability to detect authenticity. Do you agree?

Using tech is so personal. Your biases and knowledge yield results unique to yourself. Navigating tech in business with customers takes it to a whole new level. Empathy, above all else, best predicts success imo. How about you? #empathyintech

Had a nice chat with marketing expert Dan Nestle about translation and AI. If so inclined, please feel free to give it a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/6BN595… #translation #localization #machinetranslation

Walking my dog this morning, I reflected yesterday's work. There was no breakthrough or milestone achieved. But, I chipped away at a complicated article I'm writing. And felt good about it. Remember: Progress is progress, no matter how small.

Swap your screen time for 'green' time. Dedicate ~30 minutes/day to a screen-free activity like reading, painting, or gardening. Your mind will thank you! 🌱

Didn't realize this till recently. If you're over 50, you need to get your heart rate up for 20+ minutes several times/wk. If you walk your dog at a slow pace, even if it's 2 miles, it doesn't count. Sustained, elevated cardio (appropriate for you) is what's needed. Enjoy!

Consistency is key for exercise. But we all have down days when it's tough to get motivated. Give yourself a 'forgiveness' day at the gym 1-2x/month. Go. Walk on the treadmill. Listen to a podcast. That's good enough. It will set you up for a solid workout the next day.

Unplug and unwind by going device-free for part of your day. Take a stroll around the block, soak in your surroundings, and strike up a chat with a friendly face 😁

Do you own technology or does technology own you? A full life is not a UX. It is one that is lived by your own design. #digitalsimplification

I thought about what it means to use ChatGPT: It's like a New Year's resolution to exercise more. If you actually do so, you will benefit. If you don't, you will miss an opportunity to get healthier. Same for AI. A little every day is a good routine
