#ProdChat – 04/24/2013 – Filtering Media for #Productivity
This week we discussed how to filter content so that we block out what we don’t need and get what we want via all the various mediums out there! Great discussion! On 5/1, we’ll be discussing Work-Life Balance, or as I say in my recent ProdPod.net Episode 63, “Life-Work Balance!”
-
Welcome to #ProdChat, the weekly #productivity chat! Topic: Filtering Media. (We’ll be starting in just a few minutes!) -

Zero in. RT “@LynnWhite: Q1. I think too much. I think you have to focus and know your goal. What info are you seeking. #prodchat“
-
@rsidneysmith, great to be here, thanks for hosting it Ray #prodchat -
@jjmccullen I’m always glad to host such great company! :-D #prodchat
-
@jjmccullen I started doing that last month. It’s made a big difference. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Hey, Natalie! It’s been a while since we’ve chatted in the same #productivity chat. So good to have you here tonight! #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Natalie! Excellent to see you! #prodchat
-
RT @jjmccullen: A1: I just started checking my email 3 times a day, that really seems to be helping keep things under control #prodchat
-
I’ll be on the weekly #productivity chat for the next hour — expect more tweets than usual. Tonight’s topic: Filtering Media. #prodchat -
@jjmccullen Do you turn off your automatic email notifications too? #prodchat
-
@LynnWhite How have your clients responded to the responses only coming a few times per business day? #prodchat
-
@LynnWhite BTW, so glad to have a fellow Washingtonian in the #productivity chat! (I lived in the DC Metro for many years.) :-) #prodchat
-
Hi Natalie! @nmhouston #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith @LynnWhite It looks like she’s a Texan at heart, though, so that’s most important. ;) #prodchat
-
MT @LynnWhite: A1. I think too much. I think you have to focus and know your goal. What info are you seeking. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Did you? How long have you been gone? Im originally from TX. #prodchat
-
MT @nmhouston: A1 I filter my inputs pretty heavily — so that I can choose what I want to explore, learn, follow up on #prodchat
-
I’m a city cyclist! RT @jjmccullen: A2: I mountain bike whenever I can, not sure if that is what you were looking for Ray #prodchat
-
@LynnWhite hi, welcome to #prodchat!
-
This is why I love you. @rsidneysmith: (I’m a newspaper fan(atic)…so I have to limit myself. #prodchat”
-
-
That is much more dangerous than Mountain biking rt @rsidneysmith I’m a city cyclist! #prodchat
-
@nmhouston After futzing with my settings, I set my phone to manual again yesterday so now it only pulls when I tell it to. #prodchat
-
@jjmccullen You’re telling me! Actually, in DC, where I cycle the most, it’s not as bad as here in NYC! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Do you struggle with FOMO at all? #prodchat
-
Wow! I feel like we have such enlightened #productivity enthusiasts on the chat! Lots of communication control here! I like! :) #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Yes. It’s always negative. There is good in the world. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I don’t know that I’d go that far. I consume my fair share and then some. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Good strategy. Stop and think. #prodchat
-
-
+1 MT @nmhouston: A2 I try to reflect for a minute before jumping on…: why am I doing this, what do I seek? Increase awareness. #prodchat
-
-

@rsidneysmith @nmhouston Ugh. I don’t. I spend a ton if time on social. It’s one of the ways I relax. #prodchat

I just move. ;) RT @nmhouston: A3 on the paper side of things, http://catalogchoice.org s block unwanted bulk postal mail #prodcprodchat -
@rsidneysmith I like to do a seasonal clearing out — of closets, of RSS, other inputs. Twice a year or so. #prodchat
-
A4: So, I’m a super fan of @percolate. I asked them if they could be on the #productivity chat tonight, but didn’t hear back. :-( #prodchat
-
A4a: However, if you haven’t tried it, it’s amazing! #Percolate just boils it down to the most important stuff you’d want to see. #prodchat
-
-
@rsidneysmith resume as a every two month activity. Easier to maintain #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Every month? #prodchat
-
@LynnWhite Well, my day job is also techie, so I follow a LOT of blogs…and so I do a pretty good job there of purging monthly. #prodchat
-
@LynnWhite On the personal feeds, follows and such, that’s where I end up following way too much stuff…why I gave up FB! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith It looks like it! Love all the suggestions, Ray! You’re so on it!! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith @LynnWhite I follow a ton of blogs and news sites. I love all of the info and consider it a big part of my job. #prodchat
-
@jjmccullen @Flipboard is a pretty amazing app…I like the way you can add feeds and it’s magazine layout does its magic. #prodchat
-
RT @nmhouston: not saying much, busy capturing recommendations of things to try out — thanks everyone! #prodchat
-
RT @rsidneysmith: Q4: WHAT SERVICES DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR AGGREGATING/FILTERING MEDIA? (EG, @percolate, @lumiteam, @StumbleUpon) #prodchat
-
-
@rsidneysmith @LynnWhite and read! I just want to read books all day every day. Is that so wrong? #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith limit RSS reading to 1 device. Help me to keep my focus #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith @LynnWhite of course, I remember when you had to go to a newsstand or bookstore to get a variety of newspapers. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith you’d think a professor would get to do that! But noooo… #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Like what? Like, “dude”, pushing out 100 feed items a day is way too many? is that what you mean? #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Or do you mean more like, ‘hey, love that direction and would love to see more like it…’ ? #prodchat
-
Amen! MT @nmhouston: People complained about info. overload in the 19th century. Process of adapting to new communication forms #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Ha Ha! Point taken Natalie! Same story, different day and age. :) #prodchat
-
And they will continue complaining RT @nmhouston: People were complaining about information overload in the 19th century #prodchat
-
RT @rsidneysmith Does anyone use Vienna, RSSOwl or another desktop feed reader app? #prodchat < I actually use Outlook for RSS. -
.@nmhouston Agreed. And, biz/media are dialoging in this environment now. Our voices with theirs. The democratization of content. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I guess it depends on if you’re talking about mediums or the media. #prodchat
-
A6: You sound 180, @rsidneysmith ;) I think we model, educate and they learn how to use sm by positive and negative examples. #prodchat
-
@jjmccullen boo! Sorry. :( #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith yes, the relationships of creator, publisher, audience are differently configured now (at least some of the time) #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I feel that way after most days. :/ #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Crazy suggestion… Subscribe to all your own outgoing messaging & see what it feels like as the subscriber? #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith: Then you probably have a pretty accurate feel of what’s too much and what’s not enough. :) #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith It’s hard to imagine because the Internet is so ingrained in all of our lives now. #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith Ah! Thank you, dah-ling. You haven’t seen me limping after a long day in heels. #prodchat #oldladyknees
