Man … sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present. The result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. The Dalai Lama

I don’t envy those just entering the field of web development. In addition to learning the fundamentals, there’s an expectation to be proficient in an increasingly exhausting laundry list of buzzwords and technologies. I’m seven years into my career and still feel like I’m still on Chapter 1 of the Big Book of Web Design.

So think twice before suggesting someone “just” [insert any task here]. You just might make them feel like an idiot. Brad Frost

The Fallacy of Keeping Up by Tim Kadlec

It’s very exciting. But it can also be stressful. […]

I certainly have improved as a developer since I first started. Yet everything I’ve learned has exposed a dozen more topics I know nothing about. The list of things I don’t know about the web grow as fast as my well-intentioned “read-it-later” list, so how do I prioritize and figure out what to explore next? […] Tim Kadlec

Gerade beim Aufräumen meiner „Read it Later“ Artikel gefunden, also zwar schon ein wenig älter, aber dennoch lesenswer. Es ist schwer immer und überall auf dem neusten Stand zu bleiben, gerade im sehr schnelllebigen „Webumfeld“.

So when you are travelling to a distant place next time, just walk to a random (safe) place outside the tourist attraction and try to find your way without technology. You might be surprised how rewarding and unique the experience will be. Smashing Newsletter: Issue #147
Do you really need a meeting? Meetings usually arise when a concept isn't clear enough. Instead of resorting to a meeting, try to simplify the concept so you can discuss it quickly via email […] The goal is to avoid meetings. Every minute you avoid spending in a meeting is a minute you can get real work done instead. There's nothing more toxic to productivity than a meeting. Getting Real by 37Signals

No meetings planned for today so far! So i’m looking forward to a productive day.

Passwords are like toilet paper. Don't reuse, don't share ones you've used, & no one should be asking to see what you've used. James Turner (via Twitter)
