SciSpace has sponsored a few videos on my channel, and they just released some updates that I really enjoyed looking at. Mostly around Library integration of materials I collect (Zotero Integration, etc) Here's the latest video: https://youtu.be/XDM6hbnTSnU

Hello everyone, This Wednesday evening is week 2 of the "Using AI to Learn" course - which I'm offering for free on the first run-through. Don't worry if you've missed any of the classes - they're recorded! (because not everyone is awake at the same time across the planet :) Check out the Classroom and check out the recordings - DM me if you need any help.

A challenge I find in my workplace is that there is often a lot of noise... as in actual noise! :) People talking, general background noise. Of course, this isn't a huge issue when it's appropriate, but when I'm trying to focus, it can sometimes be distracting. Ideally, I'd like a fancy office with a door - but that's not happening any time soon - haha. What I've discovered are XR Glasses by a company called VITURE (there are other companies that make them as well - but I like VITURE). These allow me to isolate myself "inside" the glasses. I've just posted a video on their latest glasses (The BEAST!) https://youtu.be/-sl6Sp35P3s and am working on one about using them for Deep Work. How do you find a "quiet place" in your own work? Do you have a technical solution, or just try to find a hidden room or library space?

We have all seen the employee who has a skill, learned how to access the SQL database, use the whiteboard, and they think their job security depends on keeping that skill to themselves. They are wrong. If you want real job stability, as soon as you learn something, offer to teach it to others, offer a lunch talk. Managers are always looking for someone who can master their given assignment and are available to take on an even more challenging one.

How to turn an AI into your personal cognitive coach. Most people use AI as a "Ghostwriter"—they ask it to write an essay or solve a problem so they don’t have to. The problem? The AI gets smarter, and the human stays the same. This course changes that. This is a scaffold for your brain. We aren't using AI to "do" the work; we are using it to guide the struggle. Real learning happens when your brain has to work, connect, and retrieve. This Prompt Journal uses proven, research-backed techniques to make sure that what you study today actually stays in your head tomorrow.
