They address two different situations. This article addresses what happens when you are in the middle of a task and your phone rings or the alert pops up showing a new email or someone pokes their head in your office or cubicle to ask a question. It is harder to get back on task after even a brief interruption than it…

Wow, that is great. She made $19,853 in just one month? At $69 per hour? Hm....that means she worked 287.72 hours last month. Assuming you mean December, and assuming she didn't work weekends or Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Years Eve that's 18 workdays. A little more division, and she worked...15.9 hours…

Okay, just to clarify, I think this fits with your point Adam. I think the Psychology Today article was unnecessarily down on giftcards.

This may be true in some situations, but not in all. My husband wants gift cards or cash that he can spend on tech gadgets that are too much for any one person to buy him. He is like a kid in a candy store at Best Buy, and a gift card makes him very happy. My mom wants money for clothes and yarn. I can't buy her yarn…

1. My hair has not touched my shoulders in years. It takes me 30 minutes or less to shower, blow dry my hair, brush my teeth, and get dressed. There is no makeup, and I ran out of contacts a year ago and have been wearing my glasses ever since.

I did a really good job with my iPhone 3GS because I kept a charger in the car, a dock at work, and we had multiple places at home where it could be charged. I now have the iPhone 5 and short of carrying the cable with me everywhere I go, I don't know what to do. I can't dock the thing on anything that I used to be…

I misread the last sentence as saying that people have been inspired by The Biggest Loser for millions of years. It took me rereading it like four times to get it right.

I was on a very crowded train with my husband the other day. We got on early so we had seats. A family got on after us and the father and little boy (about 2 years old) were standing next to us. Dad was holding his son. We got to chatting for a few minutes, and the whole time I'm feeling like a complete jerk…

See, but that would totally have been me (both as a child and as an adult). Now I'm the adult who tries to make random small talk with kids. But as a child, I got totally freaked out when adults talked to me. I don't know if I was just too indoctrinated with the "stranger danger" message or if I felt like some…

Low-income people live in spaces that small all the time. Long-term stay motels, single-room occupancy buildings, etc. It is certainly possible. Of course it is not preferable. But the solution would probably really involve rich folks living in smaller spaces than they might like in order for everyone to have a…

There's a big difference between being cautious in the sense of avoiding any possible risk and being cautious in the sense of pushing the envelope a little or taking calculated risks. It is impossible to be creative if you avoid all risks. You will never do anything new or different from what has already been done. …

You don't. But you can limit which of their posts you see on your news feed.

Let's say you are 100% sure you wouldn't abort if your baby had Down's or some other diagnosis that could be determined through prenatal testing. It's still helpful to know. For example, we live in a more rural area. The potential medical complications of some of the diagnoses that can be determined through…
