How to Banish Virtual Meeting Boredom - Nir And Far
Can virtual meetings be as effective as in-person ones?
It’s one thing to eliminate distractions in meetings. It’s another to do the same in virtual meetings.
Now that virtual teams are becoming a norm, many coworkers have never met each other in person. Yet, they’re expected to work every day toward a shared goal. Rapport and trust become even more crucial in virtual workplaces but also may be trickier to establish.

The Magic of Now, Not How - Nir And Far
Nir’s Note: Noah Kagan is the Chief Sumo at AppSumo and runs a YouTube Channel with over 1 million subscribers. His new book, Million Dollar Weekend, is out now.
Airbnb began as a weekend project when the founders sent an email offering their living-room air mattress to hotelless attendees of a major design conference. Facebook started when Mark Zuckerberg built a clone of ConnectU over the weekend and told everyone in his dorm about it. Even Microsoft began with Bill Gates making software quickly for a company in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Hindsight Bias: Why You Make Terrible Life Choices - -Nir And Far
Hindsight bias occurs when people feel that they “knew it all along” – when they believe that an event is more predictable after it becomes known than it was before it became known2 .
In other words, when we’re looking back at an event after it already happened, knowing that outcome influences our perception of the events leading up to it.

Customer Reviews
Habit forming
Hi Nir,
Love your podcast and the Hooked framework. Can you share some insights on how to retain and engage with customers on a product that doesn’t have high frequency of use. It’s regarding a productivity app which the users would use when they have a need (which can be not too often).
Little prods for big changes
Nir and Nick, N=2😉, concisely break down weekly action steps for making real changes to your life goals. Whether it’s body, mind, or career, all are encompassed with these small time investments. Take a listen, then more importantly, take five minutes to put something into action. Good stuff!
Misinformation
He is 100% confidently wrong about ADHD and the benefit of treatment and medication as effective in helping to live a productive and effective life, and spreading misinformation about a disorder that he does not have, has never had in his life or had his livelihood affected by or been affected by it his whole life. If you do not have ADHD, this is one area where you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and how much it can affect your quality of life. It’s a very real and very painful disorder especially if you have been suffering and struggling all your life, decades on decades and never knew your quality of life was suffering because you had undiagnosed ADHD. This is not a disorder where you can sit on the sidelines and give your opinion and solutions on it as facts. It’s not about will power, focus or self-discipline, it’s not about if you do these steps your brain and behaviors will work just like mine, it is not about just needing to implement the right skills, motivation or being lazy or you are just a procrastinator, or you don’t really need ADHD medication or everybody has a little ADHD, wrong. If you don’t truly have ADHD, your opinion on it is just that, an opinion and everyone has one about something. He is 100% dangerous and needs to be addressed by the scientific community and experts that are actually knowledgeable about ADHD and the quality of life of people affected by ADHD and the benefit of treatment and medication. He is putting his negative biases out in the world as facts to the detriment of a community that already encounters it daily by neurotypicals that have no personal experience about what they are confidently talking about and dismissing. It would be like a male telling a woman giving birth that her labor pain can be ease sufficiently with a Bayer aspirin instead of an epidural and oh come on, it can’t really be that many women in the population that experience labor pains during birth or really that bad, just follow these steps and skills, that is exactly how you sound!! Your words are not truth nor facts. You are confidently talking about something you have not experienced or lived. To know ADHD and what is effective and not have ADHD and speak on it, would take a Saul to Paul Conversion to actually know what you are talking about, if you don’t have ADHD. The problem is NOT that ADHD is being overly diagnosed, the problem is that it is being misdiagnosed or biasedly dismissed and it is showing up as anxiety and depression and the root cause is actually undiagnosed ADHD and Executive Dysfunction. For people with ADHD, it effects every aspect of your life, it’s a daily uphill battle especially if you are undiagnosed. It makes Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as tall and as challenging as climbing Mount Everest and it’s an everyday challenge, and treatment can be very effective in successfully helping you to reach the heights of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and get on with living a productive, effective life and to stop spinning your wheels, day after day and year after year trying to overcome the daily struggles of ADHD and how your brain works. Life can truly be worth living and productive with yes, treatment and medication for those with ADHD! #Ask me how I know!
