Some “obvious” research workflows & shortcuts that everyone already knows:

(once someone tells you)

 The general principle: most productivity is lost in *transporting* work-in-process, not in doing the actual work.
@ilovepdf_com immediately pulls PDF tables into Excel. Avoid manual data entry at all costs.

https://t.co/3cuqgOOHdu
Excel > Insert > Data from Picture lets you take a photo of any table and pull in data directly from the PNG or JPG file. Again, avoid manual data entry at all costs.
The Table Capture extension by @georgemike lets you copy HTML tables into Google Sheets or Excel. (Noticing a theme here?)

https://t.co/8Y1Jnf6N8z
Graph Reader helps you extract data points when you have an image of a chart but not the underlying dataset. It does the pixel counting for you.

https://t.co/GnvB0tEmVW
The HTML to Figma extension by @builderio lets you import any web page into @figma layers. Wonderful for understanding the graphic design of any site.

https://t.co/ItGkgXuKFI
Use OneTab to save or email links of groups of Chrome tabs. Use Cmd + Shift + A to search currently open tabs.

https://t.co/fuVc8MLtq5
Use SingleFile to download full HTML pages for offline reading. No more printing to PDF.

https://t.co/QyZzWQuOVB
^^^ If you are worried about privacy with any extension, just use one browser for all of your extensions and then another browser for day-to-day use.
Adding “site:https://t.co/Nd4n3N6Fw0” is the best Google search tip I know of.
Buy a massive whiteboard.

If you think they’re too expensive, just google “site:https://t.co/Nd4n3N6Fw0 cheap whiteboard”

https://t.co/hIRXGnEK8O
Google Custom Search Engines let you search any site with a keystroke. Just insert “%s” for the search query in the URL in Chrome > Settings > Search Engines.
Adding “login” or “account” to Google Trends searches is a decent proxy for product usage

Be wary of:
-YoY % shifts where holidays fall
-thinking more volume = positive news (negative news spreads fast)
-unknown methodology changes by Google

You can create multiple Google Calendar events at once with a simple csv. Use this template, then Settings gear icon > Import.

Template here: https://t.co/2w0kRrDQnb
Typing “https://t.co/CyVkFU0A5H” in your Chrome browser immediately creates a new Google Calendar event.

Same idea for “https://t.co/UHnTdY0M78” for Docs and “https://t.co/PNn4vAwXxl” for Sheets.
Cloudytabs lets you open all your iPhone cloud tabs in Chrome on your Mac

https://t.co/WvJkXSY9gi
RSS lets you see feeds in one place without bookmarking 200 sites to check weekly.

@Inoreader will find RSS feeds automatically for you on any site (eg Medium articles), and https://t.co/PSIA04uco5 converts email subscriptions to RSS.
Twitter UI has hidden Advanced Search, but you can find it at https://t.co/LzI5V9EN2K and use add-ons like @TwemexApp to see any profile’s most popular tweets
To delete any page element that is blocking the thing you want to read or print out (eg a header), Right Click > Inspect > Elements > highlight the element & delete.

Now Forbes / WaPost / etc are readable.
@alfredapp lets you set your own shortcuts and launch programs immediately by pressing Cmd + Space

https://t.co/ySShwN6CwV
Mac Spotlight can search everything within your files. Save everything locally in Dropbox (PDFs, notes), which will then get indexed by Mac. Now you can type any phrase and find any mention of it.

@davidperell wrote about a similar idea here: https://t.co/IFrSFpUDJE
^^^ A $b startup-in-waiting will index everything for you to search – all emails (Gmail, Outlook), every piece of media you’ve purchased (Substack, Kindle), all chats (Discord, iMessage). I will be alpha tester #001 if you’re building this!
You can speed up your mouse on Mac. After 5 minutes you will never go back. System Preferences > Trackpad > Tracking Speed.
In your charts and tables, align your text to the left and your numbers to the right. Align your headers with the rest of the column. Remove extraneous formatting/lines/words.

Read “Remove the Legend to Become One” by @eugenewei

https://t.co/2mkwzQBdcn
@eugenewei You can safely start every podcast / youtube interview 20% of the way in.

Better yet, just transcribe it in @DescriptApp
@eugenewei @DescriptApp Learn the Excel shortcuts.

For some reason, the hardest one to remember is that the ∆ shortcut is Opt + J on Mac and 0394 + wait 2 seconds + Alt + X on Windows
@eugenewei @DescriptApp The emoji keyboard is Ctrl + Cmd + Space on Mac and Windows logo + . on Windows

🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♂️
Lastly, A+ work output > learning the n+1 productivity hack.

Obviously.
This was everything I could think of in 30 mins for a young financial analyst who is coming into the field.

If there’s anything else you’d add, lmk!

Stories of Guruvayurappan
Shri Krishna Leela

This is a beautiful story of Guruvayurappan. Once there lived in Guruvayur a poor family. Kitta, his wife & kids were struggling for their daily needs. With only a coconut tree in house, he earned a living by selling coconuts.


Kitta was from a low caste family. He was a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. Everyday before going to work he always prayed infront of a picture of Guruvayurappan in his house. His only wish was to worship at Guruvayur & have annadanam in temple. But he was not allowed there


It was Utsavam time in Guruvayur. From far behind kitta and family worshipped Guruvayurappan. Annadanam was given daily and no one was left empty stomach. Only Kitta didn't receive. That night, it was only Kitta's family who was sleeping without food. After temple nada closed


Shri Krishna, dressed himself as a Brahmin went to temple Kitchen. He packed food and went directly to kitta's house. Reaching Kitta's house, Shri Krishna told he was sent by a cook of Guruvayur temple and gave them the food he packed. Kitta and family was very happy seeing food.


When Kitta finished his food, Brahmin asked it will be better if he get a tender coconut( karikku)to drink. Kitta climbed the tree and gave all coconuts to him. After having 1 tender coconut, the Brahmin asked to bring remaining coconuts to Guruvayur temple the next day.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.


And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.


Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.


He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.


He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

शमशान में जब महर्षि दधीचि के मांसपिंड का दाह संस्कार हो रहा था तो उनकी पत्नी अपने पति का वियोग सहन नहीं कर पायी और पास में ही स्थित विशाल पीपल वृक्ष के कोटर में अपने तीन वर्ष के बालक को रख के स्वयं चिता पे बैठ कर सती हो गयी ।इस प्रकार ऋषी दधीचि और उनकी पत्नी की मुक्ति हो गयी।


परन्तु पीपल के कोटर में रखा बालक भूख प्यास से तड़पने लगा। जब कुछ नहीं मिला तो वो कोटर में पड़े पीपल के गोदों (फल) को खाकर बड़ा होने लगा। कालान्तर में पीपल के फलों और पत्तों को खाकर बालक का जीवन किसी प्रकार सुरक्षित रहा।

एक दिन देवर्षि नारद वहां से गुजर रहे थे ।नारद ने पीपल के कोटर में बालक को देख कर उसका परिचय मांगा -
नारद बोले - बालक तुम कौन हो?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चहता हूँ ।
नारद - तुम्हारे जनक कौन हैं?
बालक - यही तो मैं भी जानना चाहता हूँ ।

तब नारद ने आँखें बन्द कर ध्यान लगाया ।


तत्पश्चात आश्चर्यचकित हो कर बालक को बताया कि 'हे बालक! तुम महान दानी महर्षि दधीचि के पुत्र हो । तुम्हारे पिता की अस्थियों का वज्रास्त्र बनाकर ही देवताओं ने असुरों पर विजय पायी थी।तुम्हारे पिता की मृत्यु मात्र 31 वर्ष की वय में ही हो गयी थी'।

बालक - मेरे पिता की अकाल मृत्यु का क्या कारण था?
नारद - तुम्हारे पिता पर शनिदेव की महादशा थी।
बालक - मेरे उपर आयी विपत्ति का कारण क्या था?
नारद - शनिदेव की महादशा।
इतना बताकर देवर्षि नारद ने पीपल के पत्तों और गोदों को खाकर बड़े हुए उस बालक का नाम पिप्पलाद रखा और उसे दीक्षित किया।

👇 Thread. New deck getting published this week: "Consumer startups are awesome, and here's what I'm looking to invest in at Andreessen Horowitz." If you want to read it, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://t.co/262t8eh0wf


1/ A lot of new consumer technologies have been introduced to US households in the last 100 years. But it's taken many of them - like the telephone - more than 50 years to get to the majority of the US. Why is that?


2/ We had to literally teach people how to use phone. Which end goes to your mouth, which goes to your ear. Say "hello" when people call. The motivation of consumers to talk to their friends has always been there, but we had to teach the behavior


3/ If you compare phones to the latest technologies, there's been a huge shift. Things are being picked up much faster.


4/ Even while there's been all this innovation recently, physically speaking, we are still the same human beings from 100,000 years ago.

A lot of people don't understand that Trump & his incoming team didn't face a normal transition period, like it was over a in a matter of a few weeks or months.

The DOJ transition period JUST ENDED when Sessions left. Almost 2 exact years to get it there.

Pompeo at the CIA took over a year before he was done and ready to shift over to the State Department.

All kinds of stuff has been going on behind the scenes nobody leaks or talks about.

We only had the barest mention of the fact the Clinton Email investigation restarted

Nobody leaked in a year that Huber was deep diving into the Clinton Foundation.
Keep that in mind as all the usual suspects continue to INSIST nothing is happening/going to happen.

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991." https://t.co/DAEgchNyTP


OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Dalton School...Dalton School...rings a

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
