Friday Link Sharing #4

breathe1It’s Friday and that can only mean one thing.  It’s time to share a link!!  Ok, it can mean other things, but how much milk is appropriate in coffee is a subject of great debate and while there shouldn’t be any milk in coffee in the afternoon, not many folks going through Timmies and Starbucks seem to agree and when I point it out to them, they seem less than appreciative…

This morning’s link is The Triumph of Email  – This interesting article from The Atlantic goes through a bit of the history of email and what’s next. (I highly recommend watching the video at the bottom as well. Imagine a world where you leave on vacation and come back to no extra email.

As a bonus, check out Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet by Katie Hafner.  It is a great read and gives some insight as to why technology is the way it is.  Many parts, like the email protocols, have evolved surprisingly little since the 60’s and 70’s.

As another bonus and aid to become more resilient, at work and at home, try the Power Breath.  This breathing technique can be practiced at any time and is proven to help in many different situations.  This is taken from SuperBetter, a book by Jane McGonigal I have mentioned before.  It is definitely worth the read.

Have a great weekend ahead!!
