rogue_crayon99 | Good evening everyone, I’m Jay, a highly-evolved, all-purpose media hack from DC. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:05:13 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 Evening, Jay! Welcome, as usual. How’re you today? #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:05:32 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Congrats, Frank! It’ll be great to have you aboard to the ECC team! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:06:18 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | Productivity Success – I tagged all of my untagged notes in @evernote thanks to help from @rsidneysmith #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:06:33 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck If you run into any questions with the course, been there…feel free to reach out! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:06:36 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 @evernote Evening, Michelle! How’re you this evening? And, glad I was able to help! 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:07:00 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | @rsidneysmith The course is great. Definitely rigorous. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:07:04 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Yes, can’t be easy, I suppose! Lol. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:07:27 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 I’m glad you’re weathering the chill well. I’ve been under the weather, but on the mend! Thanks for asking! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:07:54 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | @michelle1908 That’s fantastic. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:07:56 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | From #AI to #MachineLearning #NLP to #VR / #AR & #mobile, #technology is changing #productivity. That’s what we’re… https://t.co/s6L5c4wZbP | Thu Dec 08 01:08:01 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | We’ll be starting with Q1 in a minute! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:09:14 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q1: How in tune with the changing nature of #productivity #technology do you feel you are? #prodchat https://t.co/7fLs4YcFGy | Thu Dec 08 01:10:01 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A1: I feel comfortable with the impact of tech on #productivity . I have always thought through workflow logically. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:11:59 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | Hmm. I would say on the level. I mean, most of these apps and gizmos won’t catch fire, if at all. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:12:06 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A1b: I am slow to make a major change, but when I do implement change, it works well. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:12:24 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A1: Maybe a little. I have @lifehacker in @feedly so I get some news there. There’s probably lots that I don’t know about though. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:12:39 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | Concrete example: apps and platforms for “connecting” brands to creatives. There are at least a dozen of these. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:13:07 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | @rsidneysmith on a scale or 1-10, about a 6. But that’s working for me.#prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:13:32 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A1: I am pretty techie so I usually try to keep my finger on the pulse of tech. Plus, I have to keep track of tech for work. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:13:55 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy Hey, Stacey! Welcome! How’re you? #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:14:11 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | I’ve already gotten a couple of invites (that time of year) and based on previous experience, these sputter once they run out of $ #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:14:31 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | @rsidneysmith great in sunny FLA! #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:14:47 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q2: What’s the biggest change to #productivity #technology for you in the last decade? #prodchat https://t.co/zXfXklGl43 | Thu Dec 08 01:15:01 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy That sounds lovely considering the weather up north here! 😉 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:15:19 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A2: The rise and increase of mobile and cloud technologies for me. I’m going from desktop to mobile/cloud in almost every way. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:16:19 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | A2 addicted to twitter- is that productive? #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:17:03 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A2: I also just bought a VR headset and I can’t wait to see how that technology plays out for entertainment and #productivity! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:17:34 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | I’m an older millenial so I’m partial to my cohorts. Sean Fanning changed a lot of things on the web and how we use media. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:17:45 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy It can be highly productive! 🙂 Like right now! 😉 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:17:52 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A2: Yes – all of the web apps that are also mobile – cloud apps in general. I can do so much as long as I have the internet #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:18:13 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | @rsidneysmith Yes you’re a role model for the stuff-less life!#ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:18:13 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A2: My biggest challenge was the fall of BlackBerry. Led to new device, AND entirely different #productivity suite. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:18:46 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 For those not in the industry, Jay is talking about the inventor of Napster. 😉 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:18:56 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 I think you’re right, Jay. He also started a major trend (legal battle) between what we own and what we license. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:19:31 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 It’ll be interesting to see if blockchain technology can fix this! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:19:46 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | @rsidneysmith VR very powerful. I used to overcome flying fear. Pls write book on VR + prod! #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:19:49 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q3: With many tools integrating, & @ifttt / @zapier, how much are you using these #productivity #technology integra… https://t.co/vRRUF1Fbdz | Thu Dec 08 01:20:01 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy Hey! I do what I can. #ThrowItOut 😉 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:20:03 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | . @rogue_crayon99 is an “older millenial.” I think I am a “young dinosaur.” #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:20:08 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 Yes, and now our next big chapter will be universal Web access in the USA! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:20:28 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Yes, I didn’t see that one coming until it was too late for BB. I love my BB and even BB Messenger in their heyday! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:21:00 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy That’s an awesome case use, Stacey! I will add that to my inbox! 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:21:32 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | @DrFrankBuck wizened wizard works too @rsidneysmith #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:22:15 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A3: I use @IFTTT for home automation. I haven’t taken advantage of the applets for productivity #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:22:39 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | @rogue_crayon99 I like it! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:22:44 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A3: Addiction isn’t the right word, but I heavily use my Web automation tools! I <3 https://t.co/eLoAbsUySP integrates @evernote! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:23:11 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A3a: @rtm integrates wth @evernote. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:23:27 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A3b: I mean, everything seems to integrate with everything! (Minus @fitbit choosing to be a closed silo. Boo! Integrate with GFit!)#prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:24:05 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | A3: struggling w zap, itttf. Sometimes seems like endless loop. Trying though.#prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:24:21 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A3c: So, with everything connected, I feel I can better understand data around me, and automate it smartly. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:24:35 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q4: How has #mobile #technology changed your #productivity in recent years? #prodchat https://t.co/15SYI07w8p | Thu Dec 08 01:25:00 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A3d: And, it will only get better. I don’t ever want a fully automated life. #boring However, I want as much mundane eradicated. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:25:01 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy I say, don’t automate for the sake of it. Think the automations fully through your life’s workflow, then automate. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:25:37 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A4: Basically, I always have a computer within arm’s reach connected to the Internet. It’s been revolutionary for my productivity. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:26:24 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A4: What once might take weeks to research and write, now with the right sources online, can take just a few hours. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:26:45 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A4: I think that allows time to be a bit more malleable; you can accomplish things in the nooks and crannies of your day. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:27:15 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | A4 Work anytime, anywhere (except while driving, hopefully). #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:27:31 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A4a: I have had a synced mobile device since 2001, so the biggest change was then. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:27:33 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A4: The time for a trip to a library or elsewhere is now recouped in productive time. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:27:43 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A4b: It’s really been a slow process of adopting cloud-based tech. @Evernote has been the biggest change. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:27:53 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A4: Having information at my fingertips changes everything, particularly with @evernote and @gmail – Search is my life! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:28:02 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A4: There is still so much that I CAN do on a mobile device but can do much BETTER on my desktop computer. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:29:16 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 I agree! Now tools are getting so that you can search across all your cloud services! I’m excited! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:29:24 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | @rsidneysmith I need to know more about this! Which ones/how #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:29:54 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | A4 makes you think: just how far away are we from the total elimination of traditional desktop work? #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:29:59 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q5: @todoist @skedpal @googlecalendar have intelligent task scheduling. How is #machinelearning in #productivity ap… https://t.co/ekF1MbPjJn | Thu Dec 08 01:30:02 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck I still love a full-sized keyboard. Next, Lenovo Yoga, or Chromebook R13, so I can have Android + keyboard! #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:30:48 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck It’s basically the next level of a BlackBerry! HA! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:31:02 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A5: Its making data entry quicker. I love @SwiftKey – It’s so smart and has learned how I write #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:31:07 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 I’ve been using @multcloud but there are several others that search desktop files and cloud services. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:31:30 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 Feel free to ping me sometime and we can chat about it! 🙂 #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:31:41 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 Very far. I know folks in Silicon Valley and the Alley can do it. But everyday people…a long way! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:32:13 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | A5 it can help a lot say, right now, ”tis the season so gift suggestions help. It can get unnerving in that it knows too much. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:32:15 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A5: The intelligent task scheduling is still a bit off before I can trust #AI over my brain. But, it’s getting there! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:33:25 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | @rsidneysmith Will do! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:33:27 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A5: I am interested in exploring these concepts. Francis Wade @fwade is doing work and has written articles related to @skedpal #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:33:31 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck Yes, he’s an advisor to the company and is probably the current expert on intelligent scheduling apps! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:34:29 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q6: Wearables and smartwatches are all the fad lately. Are you using it be more productive, or improve your health?… https://t.co/j5S9PflLJn | Thu Dec 08 01:35:01 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A5: This diagram that @fwade did really got my attention. #prodchat https://t.co/9dAJ5SMvM5 | Thu Dec 08 01:36:16 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A6a: I have a @AndroidWear smartwatch on, have used a FitBit for years. My verdict is still out on smartwatches; they’re nice. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:36:35 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A6: I don’t have one yet. Not sure if it would make a difference in my productivity since my phone is always w/me #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:36:36 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | Just got Apple Watch today for Xmas. Playing with it.#ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:36:45 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A6b: @fitbit tracking sleep (even if not exactly accurate for all) has made my sleep sooo much better; I’m so much more productive.#prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:37:45 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy Nice! Look at HealthKit and how you can get good data out of it! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:38:08 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | A6: Has to be a way to make these gadgets help w productivity #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:38:32 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck I’ve seen his diagram. It’s intriguing, for sure! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:38:43 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A6: Not using a smartwatch and don’t foresee using it.That screen size is getting a little small for me. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:38:51 +0000 2016 |
rogue_crayon99 | A6 There’s a slippery slope with the health angle that can conceivably violate both HIPAA and medical ethics #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:38:56 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A6b: Plus, everything has to be one-handed. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:39:05 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 It depends on whether you need to be discreet about looking at notifications during meetings. It’s great for that. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:39:25 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q7a: @Apple Siri to @Microsoft Cortana to @Google Now & Assistant to @Amazon Alexa, people-friendly assistants are… https://t.co/Lh0z45Z6u3 | Thu Dec 08 01:40:00 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q7b: Are #AI assistants helping or hurting your #productivity? #prodchat https://t.co/BcPcBneaeB | Thu Dec 08 01:40:01 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy Yes, I capture tasks into my smartwatch quite frequently while walking, where by phone would be cumbersome. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:40:15 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | @rsidneysmith Can you elaborate on how @fitbit has helped your sleep? #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:40:34 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @FocusCopy And seeing (or vibrating) notifications have been really helpful! #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:40:53 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | @rogue_crayon99 Health angle may be more about motivation than diagnostics or even accuracy #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:41:07 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A7: I haven’t gotten into the habit of using them yet #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:41:12 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @DrFrankBuck It (@fitbit) tracks my sleep and provides back quality and length of sleep. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:41:47 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @rogue_crayon99 Yes, it’s definitely a risk. But, the data is being tracked, even by your phones. So, we should have access to it. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:43:00 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A7: I have an Echo/Alexa, Google Home with Google Assistant, and Cortana on my Win laptop. I’ve found Google most useful. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:44:08 +0000 2016 |
FocusCopy | A7: Siri good, Alexa got a long way to go. Weather n music very ez to access on phone already. #ProdChat | Thu Dec 08 01:44:33 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q8b: How has communicating via email changed for you with this new technology involved? #prodchat https://t.co/iYsTPYBjRX | Thu Dec 08 01:45:00 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | Q8a: With new productivity platforms (@asana @slack @trello @nozbe etc.), and many claiming email’s end, it is stil… https://t.co/m9aYFoJnHz | Thu Dec 08 01:45:00 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A7a: Again, being able to add tasks by voice has been helpful. Also, adding or buying products through Amazon has been handy. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:45:07 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | @rsidneysmith I have an Echo and Google Home too. How do you use them to help your productivity? #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:45:25 +0000 2016 |
michelle1908 | A8: Unfortunately, it hasn’t for me, especially at work #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:46:21 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | @michelle1908 With Alexa and Google Home, I’m getting news briefs in the morning, task added, and calendar updates. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:46:50 +0000 2016 |
DrFrankBuck | A8: I still think email is the most efficient form of written communication we have provided the user has a good system. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:46:53 +0000 2016 |
rsidneysmith | A8: I haven’t seen much change in email, although the email software has gotten better. So I can keep up with or filter out noise. #prodchat | Thu Dec 08 01:47:21 +0000 2016 |
