As I enter midlife—I'm 46 now— I would love to hear from folks who have “been there done that” and came out on the other side without too much detriment. What was your experience? Did you go off the rails (ie. Sports car, younger woman, etc.)? Or did you have a more subtle experience? I want to gain wisdom from you. Please share in the comments below or shoot me an email. And thanks…
#howiwork: ChromeOS Tablet as a Second Screen
I am finding the Lenovo Chromebook Duet with Lenovo USI Stylus to be the perfect second device. It can serve as a:
notetaking/bullet journal (I use OneNote for this)
second screen during Teams calls to allow for seeing content being presented on my laptop and the participants gallery on the tablet (I join without sound using Teams Android app)
extending my laptop desktop when completing projects that require more screen real estate (I use Spacedesk with Windows app on laptop and Android app on tablet )
Below is an example of how I use landscape screen orientation for taking handwritten notes. My intent with this is to take advantage of the research around the efficacy of handwritten notes versus typing for information processing.
