Did you know…
Many things can make working from home more challenging.
One of the biggest frustrations I hear about is slow internet or a bad connection to our terminal servers.
Surprisingly, Google Chrome is often a biggest user of bandwidth than Zoom. Especially when you multiple tabs open.
If you are experiencing slow connection to the terminal server, try closing Chrome for a while and see if it helps.
If you do find it helpful, try using Chrome on your local desktop and not through terminal services. Let us know if this helps.
Now you know!
The incoming
Standing at my desk this summer, it had just turned 10:00 a.m., and I realized that I’d already:
Heard from an old friend, engaged with three team members on two continents, read 28 blogs across the spectrum AND found out about the weather and the news around the world.
Half my life ago, in a similar morning spent in a similar office, not one of those things could have been true.
The incoming (and our ability to create more outgoing) is probably the single biggest shift that computers have created in our work lives.
Sometimes, we subscribe or go and fetch the information, and sometimes it comes to us, unbidden and unfiltered. But it’s there and it’s compounding.
One option is to simply cope with the deluge, to be a victim of the firehose.
Another is to make the problem worse by adding more noise and spam to the open networks that we depend on.
A third might be, just for an hour, to turn it off. All of it. To sit alone and create the new thing, the thing worth seeking out, the thing that will cause a positive change.
