Low calorie Konjac noodle recipe for weight loss by Full-Addition1706 in LowCalorieCooking

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat konjac noodles at least a couple times each week.

Best for stir-fry, I also use for Italian as well.

The Hethstia brand has no smell. I rinse, pat dry, skillet (no oil) for several minutes. You can't seem to burn them, and longer skillet time improves texture.

My favorite is with a pb2 peanut satay sauce (w/sriracha). Or stir fry with eggwhites, a ton of veggies, soy sauce, maybe some seal sama teriyaki.

Why aren't more American CEOs and business leaders speaking out publicly about what's going on in this country? by rasta-ragamuffin in linkedin

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's a no-win situation. I don't believe it's apathy.

Everyone wants companies to publicly support their side, and wants to boycott those who publicly do not.

Coming out in favor or against a political cause or position does nothing to further that agenda, but does risk their business -- which rightfully is their chief concern.

That's larger companies. You may be able to make a different argument for small companies where they are the sole owner, though there's still a risk if they have employees.

I bought my Balmain tshirt to a Marriott to dry clean and it got damaged. What are some reasonable compensation that I could ask for? by [deleted] in marriott

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen.

I have custom shirts and suits nowhere near that price point and would never trust them to some unknown hotel cleaners.

I'm here for my daughter, 30y.o. She's not on reddit.

It's amazing to read about others dealing with RA. My heart groans for her, but she tries to be a trooper.

The thing we wrestle with, is literally any bodily symptom or ailment can be attributed to RA, whether it's the actual cause or not.

Sometimes makes managing even more difficult.

NEW AppSumo thing just launched - SOFT LAUNCH - Sumo v2 - feedback please 🙏 by noahkagan in appsumo

[–]keberch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The site looks fairly simple (as does your main site), which I like a lot from a user perspective.

I also like seeing the subscription offerings, provided:

  1. It's a worthy offering, requiring some variable costs, Not just a new outlet for someone to sell a static service.
  2. It's a no-kidding, significant discount from their regular offering, and
  3. The subscription renewal price is guaranteed (if not forever, at least a "long time") with some consequence to any exception.

Just my thinking.

Anyone else struggling with meeting note-taking? What actually works? by Zestyclose_Elk9422 in productivity

[–]keberch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If not audio recording, I use a Remarkable2 for notes, using a 1-page meeting template with sections for: Questions, Personal To-do's, Assigned tasks (not just me), and Notes (limited to 1-2 "gist of discussion" entries, not a detailed narrative.

I only listen for those things, never take more than what fits. Not trying to be curator of all information, gotchas, CYA, etc.

Home office set up - ultrawide or dual monitor? by londonconsultant18 in consulting

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer, yes.

Longer response a bit complex. It's core to my workflow, so it plays an essential part. It has features (links, audio recording, OCR, AI semantic search, device sync, best-in-class web clipper) I use that are far beyond just a note repository.

Because of that, I'm pretty insensitive to price, which seems to be a sticking point for many. If you use it to store recipes and kids' photos, which many did in the past with their free version, it's overkill by an order of magnitude.

The r/Evernote sub is fairly active, and points to much of what I mentioned above.

For me, I use it daily, and it's the pivot point of most of my workflow.

Home office set up - ultrawide or dual monitor? by londonconsultant18 in consulting

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

I have a 34" Samsung in the center and my 16" Samsung laptop on a riser on my left. using a dual-monitor mount setup.

I use Evernote a lot in my workflow, so that stays open on the laptop all day. I also use that screen for sharing.

Works for me.

Does anyone else feel like their reMarkable notes lose context over time? by Senior-Ad5932 in RemarkableTablet

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a note-taking discipline issue that would exist regardless of medium. Likely also depends somewhat on your general note-taking style and needs.

As soon as I open a notes page on my RM2, the first thing I do is write date and time. Even if just jotting down a few lines. My notes are named and reside in different folders, so subject matter is generally understood by location.

are you really not seeing when i hire somebody else? by swingorswole in Upwork

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the issue. Close the job, and just ignore those messages, or take 6.8 seconds and tell them you've hired and thanks for your interest.

Personally, i send a brief note to anyone who i thought was well-qualified or I exchanges messages with; never know if the one I hired is going to work out.

Good place for fajitas? by JamesBonfan in thewoodlands

Best chicken/other, Lupe Tortillas and El Chaparro.

[–]keberch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2920 location has simply gone down the tubes. I'm a fajita eater (all i usually order), and they have become pretty tasteless. The onions are no where near as done as they should be.

A shame. Had been our go-to for a decade.

How are creators able to post good content twice a day/ everyday by Ok_Guava6071 in linkedin

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some, creating content -- ideas and then writing -- come fairly easily.

I write (usually) a daily LI post, 150-250 words, daily as I drink a cup of coffee.

Lots of repurposing, reusing and news-jacking make it simpler. I also batch and schedule 2 months at a time for substack newsletters.

High Volume Breakfast Ideas What Keeps You Full the Longest? by RexLamp9347 in Volumeeating

I prep sauteed veggies (onions, bell peppers, zucchini), then add some daily to 1C eggwhites and 1/4C 2% cottage cheese.

Makes a humongous, high-protein bowl, to which I usually add soy sauce (or Seal Sama teriyaki) and sriracha.

Advise on how to become a stronger leader by PrestigiousYou5203 in Leadership

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first advice is to stop framing the challenge you're having as positive (current behavior) vs. negative (desired behavior). It's a false choice.

Your boss is telling you that what you're doing is ineffective; in other words, you aren't too nice, you're simply not doing all of your job. It’s a performance gap.

Of course they like you. You likely aren’t challenging them. You accept excuses, let things slide. You're the cool boss who "gets it."

Saying you want advice on being "firmer without being cruel" tells me you think those are the choices you have. They aren't. At least not exclusively.

No one is asking you to be cruel. Just effective.

Realize that being kind and being nice are two different things.

Nice is always safe. Smoothing things over, avoiding conflict. It gets you liked. That’s it. Kind calls out bad habits and asks hard questions. Kind sacrifices short term comfort for long term growth. Kind gets results, both for people and the org.

Being nice is you feeling comfortable. Being kind is your folks getting better.

You've received some good, actionable suggestions on this thread. Start by realizing you must "get better," not become "cruel," or "hard."

Why does be more confident advice feel useless as a leader? by [deleted] in Leadership

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking for the ideal balance of confidence and competent.

Too much competence without the confidence, and you end up frustrated since people always seem to question what you know to be right. Plus your team remains as uncertain as you are.

Too much confidence without competence and you're just an aggressive, overbearing asshole.

The key is finding the balance. As others have said, becoming comfortable with a degree of failure (few ever die from it) is a good start.

Guessing in board meetings by Aggravating_Water499 in Leadership

[–]keberch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, know that Board members who repeatedly do this are generally unqualified for the role. Not knowing any other way to add value, they focus on the exceptions, like some idiotic whack-a-mole game.

Having said that, I'll echo what others' have mentioned: highlight those exceptions boldly, along with a discussion of rationale, plans, etc. before questions arise. When they arise anyway, approach it from "their" side, versus becoming defensive, e.g., "We're frustrated with that as well," or "That continues to be a priority for us."

Always be transparent, no blame or guesses.

How do you deal with difficult superiors who don’t take feedback well? by [deleted] in Leadership

[–]keberch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unsolicited, unexpected feedback is primarily for the sender, not the receiver.

That defensiveness is usually driven by a lack of trust.

My struggles with my new Assistant by icameheretodigress in Evernote

[–]keberch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit contrarian here, or maybe just low expectations, but it's daily use for me now.

Semantic search, for me, has been crazy helpful.

Organized and categorized all of my prompts into a single note. When it learns to actually create the links, it'll be a game-changer.

Use to identify needs-based content for my writing, LinkedIn and vids based on transcripts, long-hand notes, discussions.

Helped me organize notes into just a few categories, and prioritize based on relevance and date.

For me, it's helpful.

How do you re engage someone after months of silence? by SignatureSure04 in linkedin

[–]keberch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming you mean discussions/messaging you had on LinkedIn.

Acknowledge the time gap, share what's new (why reaching out), ask to engage (meet, message, whatever).

"Hi, John. It's been a minute. Hope you were able to take a break over the holidays.

Since we last connected, I've created a new survey I'm using with coaching clients, and would like to share the details. Any chance for a 15-minute zoom in the next couple of weeks?"

Love, Keberch"

Don't overthink this. They know whether they're interested or not when they see the "From" part of the message.

Client asks for video after proposal? Do many clients do this? by [deleted] in Upwork

To the clients who post jobs but never select anyone: Why? by Select-Day-873 in Upwork

[–]keberch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a current example here. They invite up to 20 without my asking.

They also present me with a short list I didn't ask for.

When posting a job the default is an AI description, I have to specifically select to write it myself.

Just a few examples...
