The doctors did me a lot of good on all occasions I interacted with any of them.
How would I not want to get vaccinated?

Search tip for GMail
Let’s say you want to make some space for your GMail.
In the Search box, type “has:attachment larger:10M.”
This will find emails with attachments larger than 10 megabytes.
You can change 10 to find emails with different sized attachments.
If you decide to delete some emails, don’t forget to empty Trash.
Types of energy
There are just two types of people:
- Ones who can work on the long run – you give a project to them, and they will do it, in the long run. They like marathons.
- Ones that prefer to work in sprints – reply quickly, but then forget to continue working on the project. You get a lot of high-intensity tasks, and then – nothing.
The optimal solution?
Choose the middle path.
Why can’t a regular programmer do SEO well, in my opinion?
“Why Can’t a Woman Be More Like a Man?” Rex Harrison:
Generally, a good programmer can know some basic things about SEO.
A programmer turned into an SEO can create wonderful apps (e.g.: Search Analytics for Sheets – Google Workspace Marketplace) or JavaScript/Python scripts.
But a regular programmer would miss the fine details.
SEO looks simple – a few rules to apply.
Yet, when it comes to applying them, there are lots of particularities, and decisions to make.
A lot of basic things in SEO tend to compound, and simple things can become complicated.
Also, even a small mistake in SEO can backfire.
There’s still room for SEO in the market, in my opinion.

Organizing meetings
If you have a lot of meetings set up in a short amount of time, consider going to Google Maps, visiting a location, and then shortening the links with the help of bit.ly.
You could then open the links in Google Maps application on your smartphone.
Inflexibility
As a personal observation, old people are happy, they tend to care less about other people’s opinions, and are happy with what they’ve accomplished in life.
On the other hand, sometimes they can be inflexible.
“This leads to happiness”. That’s great, but it’s not the only path.
Gift picking
On gift picking: why not buy gifts that last a long time – like a trinket or a perfume?
I prefer to buy things that expire fast – some quality food, for example.
If a person doesn’t like your perfume, they are stuck with it for a long time.
If they don’t like the food, in one or two days it will be gone.
I tend to be risk-averse.
Also, I prefer to give vouchers or money as gifts – people can buy whatever they prefer.
“I know better than you what you’d like” is very rarely true.
The middle path
Sometimes, when making a decision, it’s important to at least acknowledge, if not follow, the middle path.
See how others are doing, and do a similar thing they do.
It’s not easy, though.
For once, you need the humility to think that you are not better than others.
Then, you need to accept that others’ actions can apply to you.
Also, the power to ignore your own taste.
Even if you pick a minority of people you admire, choosing to apply on your life the middle path from their lives is still a very big challenge.
Sometimes, you’ll cherry-pick – “Here, I go with the majority, here I decide on my own”.
Fishing for compliments
When you ask “How was I?”, you are fishing for compliments.
It’s not easy for a polite person to tell you the truth.
A better question – “What would you do different, next time, if you were me?”.
Or: “How would you do it better next time?”.
Or: “What could I do better, next time?”.
Focus on the future, and start with the assumption you can improve, rather than asking for an overall picture.
