I recommend Trello. I switched over to Trello precisely because of the annoying formatting issues in Evernote. I like it because of its simplicity - it uses Arial size 10 for everything, and you can lay out all your to do lists on one page. I find that Evernote is too fiddly.
The more you let it get you down the more you are doomed to failure in future. Jealous thoughts will zap your motivation which is certainly NOT what you want.
It's the people who are able to nip these jealous thoughts in the bud and plough on with single-handed determination that will have the last laugh.
I can't understand the negativity expressed towards this article. I bet if the 'I'm a girl' part had been omitted there wouldn't be half as much vitriol.
I noticed the fonts always render poorly in Windows. But apart from that, the actually css design should look the same (unless of course you're using IE).
You're dead right. But most people don't realize the power of thought and how it affects our mood and determines the course of our entire lives. Comparing ourselves with others is a sure way to make ourselves feel worse. Facebook just provides us with an easy opportunity to do that.
When I was choosing what degree to do at university I didn't even consider computer science because I hadn't been exposed to computer science education before that so I didn't know what it was like and that I might be interested in it. I went to an all-girls school so it was probably assumed that girls would have no interest in it, in the same way that I wasn't offered courses in other typically male-oriented subjects like woodworking, mechanics etc. It wasn't until I took a computer science module as part of my business degree that I developed an interest in it and decided to do a masters in it.
So for me, the main reason I didn't study it at undergraduate level is that I simply wasn't exposed to it enough during my formative years to develop an interest in it, not through any perceived mathematical difficulty or that it is sometimes seen as a solitary activity.
I used to keep a journal and found it very therapeutic writing my innermost thoughts and then as I got older I'd laugh at the things that stressed me out when I was younger. Then my mum found it one day and started reading it and that put an end to it... I've tried doing it online but it's just not the same as writing it in a beautifully bound journal and flicking through the pages.
I take from this article that the decline effect is merely an illusion. What initially appears to be a scientific breakthrough is found out to be nothing more than (i) random noise or (ii) hype resulting from publication bias (publish only the positive results and ignore the negative).
