How To Fight Decision Fatigue





The Secret That Helps Mark Zuckerberg Make Big Choices (Steve Jobs Knew It Too)

The most successful people know that decision fatigue is the enemy.

Here's how to fight it.

As you may already know, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't sweat the daily choice of what to wear for a single second. Dude's got a closet full of the same gray T-shirt.

The "why" is simple: He knows it's not worth spending precious creative energy on such an insignificant choice. He's saving his brainpower for figuring out new ways to connect the world.

So, really, it makes sense that he's become known for taking low-stakes choices like fashion out of the equation. Sure, his closet has sort of a creepy, Stephen King vibe to it, but I am not one to question the wisdom of the guy who keeps inching ever closer to being the richest person in the universe.


Steve Jobs knew it too. You might even be suffering from it right now as you read this. 

Am I gonna finish this article? Yes? No? Maybe? Meh ...
Still with me? Super.

This much is clear: Your decision-making fuel is too precious to waste on choices that aren't worthy ones. In the spirit of Zuck and Jobs, here are a few more daily decisions you can simplify with relative ease:

What to eat.
When I was in college, I ate at the same food truck for lunch every single day. It was dirt cheap, and the food was insanely delicious.

And just look at me now; I am clearly among the greatest success stories of our time.

Really, though, this helped streamline my day by leaps and bounds. It got to the point where the lady who operated the food truck would have my meal prepared before I got there, saving me precious time.

You don't have to be as hard-core as I am--I'm a freak who could eat the same thing every day and not get sick of it--but the lesson is that it really does make a difference to have a quick go-to menu of easy-to-prepare meals.

What to do.
Ever arrive at work in the morning, sit down at your desk, check your email, and then stare blankly at your computer screen for a full 15 minutes as you try to decide which of your pressing tasks you should try to tackle first? Yeah, it might be time to prioritize.

Have a running list going of your high-yield, high-visibility tasks.

Some people need to have this in writing somewhere; some can manage it inside their heads.

Whatever you do, don't put yourself in a situation where you're sitting there spinning your wheels.

What to stress over.
Oh, did you make the mistake of pulling up the news? Are you now convinced you have the Zika virus? Does everything suddenly itch? Cut it out.

Let me give you some tough love here for a second; you can't afford to have a precious sliver of your mental pie chart occupied by Crazy Shit.

Breathe in; as you breathe out, visualize yourself breathing out all the worry. Now, continue your day.

How to decompress.
The other night I found myself with a rare three-hour stretch of glorious free time, and I blew it. Oh no, what am I gonna do? Finish the book I started reading two months ago? Catch up on Downton Abbey? Pay my overdue blood debt to the elliptical machine gods?  By the time I'd sorted that mess out, it was too damn late to do anything. Make it easy for yourself: Go with the first thing you thought of. In other words, I should've finished my book. Hooray for hindsight!


Liberating yourself from these deceptively small choices will free you up to think about the ones that really matter. You'll thank me when you invent the next Facebook.

Between You And I On Facebook





In the past 4 years that I have been on facebook, I have followed 5 persons who have been my "friends" since then.

I have kept an eagle's eye on their timeline updates
I have kept chatting with them by inbox

I have kept sending them invitations to both my online and offline empowerment workshops


And this January I am taking stock of how they have performed and this is what I could surmise from my interactions

1.     I noticed that their timelines are bereft of any personal motivational write ups (except the ones tagged on them by me and some other friends of theirs).

Most of the time, their timelines are not updated and when they do have them updated, it's about pictures and more pictures and they even go out of their way to tag their friends with such pictures with questions like "how do I look?", "caption this pic", "boyz r not smiling" and stuff like that

2.     Each time I am less busy and chat them up, it's always a "begging time"

"sir, I need a job"
"sir I am broke"
"sir, your boy is very hungry"
"sir, I am suffering"
"sir, I want to travel out to hussle but I don't have a helper"
"sir, I need your help"

and all such "pleatitudes"

And each time I get such message, I again check out the profile of the person asking for help and I see that he is a "CEO at Self Employed and Loving it" and I wonder; how can someone be a Chief Executive Officer in his own Company and still be "begging?"

For sure, I am a firm believer in being of help and assistance to others and I have gone out of my way to do that but I take with a pinch of salt any request coming from someone whose profile seems not to be real

3.     Like I wrote earlier on, I invited these persons to my online and offline empowerment workshops and they did not respond.

Most of my online programs are FREE and yet the persons who want help from me do not participate.

And even when they indicate that they would participate in the fee paying offline workshops, they never turn up.

How then can I be of help to someone who is not willing to help himself?

If helping someone means giving them money, then I am counting myself out of it completely.

I believe that the empowerment that makes sense is the one that teaches a man how to catch a fish and not the one that gives him fish to eat.

So, if you are my facebook "friend" and you feel that this write up touches you, then change your pattern.

a.      Make your profile real, stop claiming what you are not, you are only blocking your chances of "help"

b.      Use your real name as your profile name and use your nick name as your alias (facebook allows that)

c.      Seek more of opportunities to make money than asking for money

d.      become constructively and actively engaged with someone you want favours from, don't just meet someone today and tomorrow you are asking them to send you money - facebook is a liar

e.      Use your timeline intelligently and wisely, that way you can be making some cool cash off your updates

Finally, if you want to have real friends on facebook, then make yourself a real person first, it starts with YOU

Let God Reign Supreme

Mark Zuckerberg wants everyone to read this sci-fi novel, which is also a favorite of Elon Musk's




Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2015 New Year's resolution was to read an important book every two weeks and discuss it with the Facebook community.

Zuckerberg's book club, A Year of Books, has focused on big ideas that influence society and business. For his 13th pick, he's gone with "The Player of Games" by the late Iain M. Banks.

It's a sci-fi novel that's part of Banks' "Culture" series, which takes place in a futuristic utopian society where humanoid aliens and incredibly advanced artificial intelligence have spread themselves across the galaxy.

"The Player of Games" was first published in 1988 and is the second in the series. It explores what a civilization would look like if hyper-advanced technology were created to serve human needs and surpass human capabilities.

The "Culture" series is a favorite in the sci-fi crowd, and its influence can be seen in mainstream culture, most notably the best-selling "Halo" video-game franchise.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a lifelong sci-fi junkie, has said he's a big fan of Banks' books. In January, he named two of SpaceX's drone ships, "Just Read The Instructions" and "Of Course I Still Love You," after two of the ships that appear in "The Player of Games."

Zuckerberg explains his latest book-club pick on his personal Facebook page: "This is a change of pace from all the recent social science books. Instead, it's a science fiction book about an advanced civilization with AI and a vibrant culture."

Many of his book selections have dealt with both the tremendous opportunities and the potential dangers that advanced technology can bring.

Zuckerberg also notes in his post that the stack of books he still wants to get through is starting to become overwhelming, but some quality time with a paperback is a good break from spending all of his working hours with technology.

A Year of Books so far:
"The End of Power: From Boardrooms to Battlefields and Churches to States, Why Being In Charge Isn'’t What It Used to Be" by Moisés Naím
"The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined" by Steven Pinker
"Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets" by Sudhir Venkatesh
"On Immunity: An Inoculation" by Eula Biss
"Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration" by Ed Catmull and Amy Wallace
"The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas S. Kuhn
"Rational Ritual: Culture, Coordination, and Common Knowledge" by Michael Chwe
"Dealing with China: An Insider Unmasks the New Economic Superpower" by Henry M. Paulson
"Orwell's Revenge: The 1984 Palimpsest" by Peter Huber
"The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" by Michelle Alexander
"The Muqaddimah" by Ibn Khaldun
"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari
"The Player of Games" by Iain M. Banks

4 Things You're Doing Wrong On Social Media


 Lots of people will tell you what you should do when using social media. This is not one of those posts.

By: Amy Venon

It's easy to be overwhelmed when diving into social media--whether for the first time or for a new account, business, product, or client.

It's so easy to misstep and get your audience mad at you.

Here are four things you should never do when using social media for your business:

1. Automate your Twitter feed.

Engage with your followers. Talk to them. Have conversations.

If you went to a cocktail party and someone just started talking at you, not responding to any questions or comments you had, it would get annoying and boring, and you'd walk away to find someone more interesting to talk to.

2. Use a zillion hashtags.
It's annoying.
Use three hashtags at the most. It's impossible to read a post that's chock-full of hashtags, and it's a bald attempt to just grab attention.

3. Send automated Direct Messages on Twitter. Ever.

It's spam, plain and simple. Send a personal message or don't send one at all.

4. Take any post, like this, that purports to tell you what you're doing
wrong on social media as gospel.

You caught me. This is the only item in the post that is actually 100 percent true.

There are exceptions to every rule, and while the items stated above are generally regarded as the wrong things to do in social, there are times when they work.

The truth is, you need to test and see what works for you, at that particular moment in time and on each social media site.

So let's take these one by one:

1. Automating your Twitter feed.
My friend Brent Csutoras has run the very popular @WeirdNews Twitter account for years.

The account has about 100,000 followers (all gained naturally).

When he has used the account to engage with them, they've gotten annoyed: "Just keep sharing weird news!" That's what they want. That's why they're following. They don't want someone "engaging" with them there; they want headlines to weird news from around the world.

2. Using a zillion hashtags.
On Twitter or Facebook, maybe. But on Instagram? It's de rigueur.

In fact, if you want to be seen beyond your circle on Instagram, you need to use lots of hashtags.

The more the merrier.
Hashtags are the currency of Instagram.

Find the ones that work and use them, abuse them. As long as your photo fits the hashtag, the more the merrier.

3. Sending automated Direct Messages on Twitter. Ever.
Virtually every single social media expert, guru, ninja, and rock star will tell you this. Except the ones who've done this and had great success.

I was involved in a really interesting conversation in a Facebook group a while back when the subject came up.

Everyone chimed in with "Spam!" "They don't work!" Except for the people who had used them and gotten great click-through. (I'm still looking for that conversation and will add it when I find it.)

The point is, if you do it right, you can achieve your goals.

Just don't be a jerk about it. And don't send it to me, because I hate that.

4. Take any post, like this, that purports to tell you what you're doing wrong on social media as gospel.

Thing is, there is no real wrong.

Some people are grade-A jerks, and it works for them. It doesn't work for most, but there's an exception to every rule.

For every best practice, there's an exception. Maybe even a few. It all depends on your audience.

It's a good idea, however, not to share porn.

Well, unless you're an adult film star or entertainment company. Then that makes sense.

See?


Mark Zuckerberg, Let Me Pay For Facebook


 FACEBOOK. Instagram. Google. Twitter. All services we rely on — and all services we believe we don’t have to pay for. Not with cash, anyway. But ad-financed Internet platforms aren’t free, and the price they extract in terms of privacy and control is getting only costlier.

A recent Pew Research Center pollshows that 93 percent of the public believes that “being in control of who can get information about them is important,” and yet the amount of information we generate online has exploded and we seldom know where it all goes.

Facebook and other social networking sites that collect vast amounts of user data are financed by ads. Just this week Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, announced plans to open users’ feeds to more advertisers.

The dirty secret of this business model is that Internet ads aren’t worth much.

Ask Ethan Zuckerman, who in the 1990s helped found Tripod.com, one of the web’s earliest ad-financed sites with user-generated content.

He even helped invent the pop-up ad because corporations were wary of the user content appearing next to their ads.

He came to regret both: the pop-up and the ad-financed business model.

The former is annoying but it’s the latter that is helping destroy the fabric of a rich, pluralistic Internet.

Mr. Zuckerman points out that Facebook makes about 20 cents per user per month in profit.

This is a pitiful sum, especially since the average user spends an impressive 20 hours on Facebook every month, according to the company.

This paltry profit margin drives the business model: Internet ads are basically worthless unless they are hyper-targeted based on tracking and extensive profiling of users.

This is a bad bargain, especially since two-thirds of American adults don’t want ads that target them based on that tracking and analysis of personal behavior.

This way of doing business rewards huge Internet platforms, since ads that are worth so little can support only companies with hundreds of millions of users.

Ad-based businesses distort our online interactions. People flock to Internet platforms because they help us connect with one another or the world’s bounty of information — a crucial, valuable function. Yet ad-based financing means that the companies have an interest in manipulating our attention on behalf of advertisers, instead of letting us connect as we wish.

Many users think their feed shows everything that their friends post. It doesn’t.

Facebook runs its billion-plus users’ newsfeed by a proprietary, ever-changing algorithm that decides what we see.

If Facebook didn’t have to control the feed to keep us on the site longer and to inject ads into our stream, it could instead offer us control over this algorithm.

Many nonprofits and civic groups that were initially thrilled about their success in using Facebook to reach people are now despondent as their entries are less and less likely to reach people who “liked” their posts unless they pay Facebook to help boost their updates.

What to do? It’s simple:
Internet sites should allow their users to be the customers. I would, as I bet many others would, happily pay more than 20 cents per month for a Facebook or a Google that did not track me, upgraded its encryption and treated me as a customer whose preferences and privacy matter.

Many people say that no significant number of users will ever pay directly for Internet services.

But that is because we are misled by the mantra that these services are free. With growing awareness of the privacy cost of ads, this may well change.

Millions of people pay for Netflix despite the fact that pirated copies of many movies are available free.

We eventually pay for ads, anyway, as that cost is baked into products we purchase.

A seamless, secure micropayment system that spreads a few pennies at a time as we browse a social network, up to a preset monthly limit, would alter the whole landscape for the better.

There are other obstacles. Someone has to build those viable, privacy-preserving micropayment systems — but Silicon Valley is known for its entrepreneurial spirit, right? And we’re not starting from scratch.

Micropayment systems that would allow users to spend a few cents here and there, not be so easily tracked by all the Big Brothers, and even allow personalization were developed in the early days of the Internet.

Big banks and large Internet platforms didn’t show much interest in this micropayment path, which would limit their surveillance abilities. We can revive it.

Our payments could subsidize access in poorer countries the way ads already do.

If even a quarter of Facebook’s 1.5 billion users were willing to pay $1 per month in return for not being tracked or targeted based on their data, that would yield more than $4 billion per year — surely a number worth considering.

Facebook’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, seems to have plenty of money, but I’d like to give him some of mine.

I want to pay a small fee for the right to keep my information private and to be able to hear from the people I want — not the sponsored-content makers I want to avoid. I want to be a customer, not a product.

Mr. Zuckerberg has reportedly spent more than $30 million to buy the homes around his in Palo Alto, Calif., and more than $100 million for a secluded parcel of land in Hawaii.

He knows privacy is worth paying for. So he should let us pay a few dollars to protect ours.
