• Web app for easy, instant body doubling

  I tried using https://sneek.io/ but found it wasn't "presence"-y enough. Source: about 1 year ago

• ADHD|WFH

  It's interesting that you mention body doubles, because for a while I tried to get my team to use Sneek. Sometimes it feels like I've been re-inventing a bunch of stuff in parallel to the ADHD community. Source: about 1 year ago

• [personal grind story] How I was able to make 4 jobs REDUNDANT!

  Before corona, I worked a job in an office (I think the workshy slobs are still mad at me, so sparing details). Anyway, we had this devision of essentially HR "people" that would spend their time talking, leaving early, etc. I had no idea how to make them BEHAVE! Essentially, part of what they did was to organize meetings, keep schedule of the work hours of OTHER people =, etc. When the pandemic hit (2 hours less... Source: over 2 years ago

• What is perfectly legal, but creepy as hell?

  Since the pandemic started, there's been a wave of horrendous surveillance software used by companies with shit cultures who don't know how to manage people remotely. Sneek, as mentioned in this article, for example. It doesn't market itself as awful invasive monitoring software, but jesus christ:. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Feeling discouraged over workload

  Wait til you get to CS-330 I'm taking it rn, definitely the hardest class I've ever taken. Also, with that many readings, consider using naturalreaders.com That's what I use for the majority of the readings, I set the WPM at like 230 or so and just follow along, because I read incredibly slow, but can understand it and get through it way faster if I listen to it. This resource has saved me a ton of time so far! Source: about 2 years ago

• college tips?

  Invest in software like naturalreaders.com that will read your assignments out loud. I'm sure there are better versions than this, but it's the one I use. It lets you set the speed and follow along, which is helps SO MUCH when you're dealing with dry boring material. You can even put your class notes in there and it will read them out loud to help you with memorization. Source: over 2 years ago

• Long story, but unbelievable. Unless you're a professor, then it's totally believable.

  I wrote my entire explanation of WHY I am having them do the assignment. Please note that I also included a link to naturalreaders.com and told them that because this was so important that if they had trouble reading long text (and these instructions are not that long) to use the text-to-speech function.

• What useful unknown website do you wish more people knew about?

  Upload text and documents or convert to mp3 to listen to anywhere anytime. Bored of reading everything? Upload the text on this site and it will convert it in mp3 file. Really good one in my persoanl opinion Https://naturalreaders.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• Trying the L-R method; any idea where I can find dual language copies of novels?

  TL = target language, in your case, Spanish. I've been doing a lot of L-R--but as Ryan says, just with Spanish text/audio. I can recommend these sites: openlibrary.org (free to sign up for/use), librosdemario, holaebook, and lelibros.online. I then use the Google Read&Write extension to read the text to me if it's online or naturalreaders.com if it's a download. Good luck! Source: about 3 years ago
