Excellent Advice on how to handle email from Founder, Stuart Roseman of @Sanebox

posted in: Uncategorized |

I have been using Sanebox for a few months now, and apart from the excellent application which has been an amazing tool for overcoming the tyranny of thousands of emails, the support from Sanebox is amazing. I asked Sanebox for some advice on how to overcome the thousands of emails and reminders I had and the founder Stuart Roseman personally replied with some brilliant advice:

a) If it takes less than 2 minutes, just do it.  don’t defer it.
b) Treat the email like a text message.  just your answer.  nothing more. no dear …, no signature, no nice humanity
c) No more filing.  trust gmail search.  click either “remove label” or “archive”
d) Stop putting stuff in your eye line that doesn’t deserve it.  newsletters, receipts, shipping notices, etc…  Don’t train those into your Inbox ever.  Do you get CC’ed on a lot of stuff?  

If it takes less than 2 minutes, don’t defer it.  Just do it.

X%   just do it now
Y% forward to someone else for processing
Z% decide this issue will never be that important and you aren’t going to deal with it.  So simply trash or archive it.
W%  put these off into the future **when** they **will** be the “most” important thing for you to deal with

I am doing my best to follow this advice. I can see my in box already climbing down rapidly from (seriously) 10,000+ unread emails.

Hyperconnectivity in a 168 (24X7 World)

posted in: Uncategorized |

Hyperconnectivity breaks down the boundaries of both time and space. It brings people (and things) together from anywhere and at anytime. Its impact is both ubiquitous and unceasing. Thanks in part to hyperconnectivity we now live in a world of neo-urbanization, where the distinctions between rural and urban are decreasing. Hyperconnectivity has also given rise to a globalized “168” world (24 × 7 = 168), where the day continues around the clock.

How do you feel about our hyperconnected era. I personally find it thrilling for its possibilities for communication, and a nightmare from the implication of drowning in an unending infinite sea of information

Human-Computer Confluence Research Challenges

Human Computer Confluence has been mentioned to become a research priority in “Horizon 2020″ (2013-2020), the funding pro-gramme of the European Commission that follows after the 7th Framework Programme (FP7, 2007-2013). HC2 VISIONS is a research agenda solicitation action (FP7 FET Project HC2) which may or may not be influential to the FET work programme discussion on new directions in human computer confluence. The HC2 VISIONS workshop invites key experts to pose initial research challenge statements articulated by the scientific community in a crowd sourced solicitation attempt. The goals of the workshop are to shape research challenge statements indicating (i) vision, (ii) research approach and (iii) expected impact of prospective research issues by world leading experts in the field. HC2 VISIONS is accompanied by a web-based white-book initiative at www.pervasive.jku.at/hccvisions.

Brilliant foresight on Augmented Reality

posted in: Research |

Brilliant foresight on Augmented Reality. It often takes artists to articulate the future of science, much better than scientists can. We are now getting to the stage where augmented reality is almost reaching mainstream awareness. The ultimate goal of augmented reality research from the beginning has been wearable/mobile wide area augmented reality. We still have to tackle the challenge of the display, however surely technology developments will get us to micro and embedded displays. Various labs and companies are looking at contact lens based head mounted displays. This video is an insight into the potential future of augmented reality in society. It is futuristic yet at the same time seems patently within reach. It also has some dark insights on how people may really use this technology.
