Hi @LinkedInHelp,
My LinkedIn account was restricted after I logged in using Chrome (no VPN, same location). I’m currently locked out and haven’t received a response from the appeal form. Sent a DM to you guys.
Can someone please help review this? Thanks!
In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.
In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.
Adaptability is the way of consistency.
3 mental checks before you say something negative:
1. Praise in public, criticize in private
2. Hanlon’s Razor - assume ignorance, not malice
3. The 1-Hour Fast-Forward - how does this affect things one hour from now?

A bad habit I used to have, which exhausted me:
Earlier in my career, I was obsessed with learning new editing techniques and adding new elements to my videos.
Animations. Cool transitions. Sound design. Music. Color grading. Skits.
But once I added a new thing to a video, I then had this belief:
"Now this has to be in every video."
So I'd spend hours and hours of extra editing time, adding stuff I thought HAD to be there. On every video.
I'd be up until 2 a.m. meticulously adding multiple masks and color grading layers to Every. Single. Shot.
Leaving it out would make the video a downgrade from the last one, right?
Turns out... no one cared. No one except me.
I was beating myself up and stressing myself out for no reason.
Lately I've been trying something else out. I've been asking:
"What can we remove without hurting the video?"
A few things we've tried removing:
- On-screen table of contents – who needs it? The video chapters are right in the YouTube player!
- Fancy glitch transitions
- Multiple camera angles – which were usually there just for the sake of having them
We've tried these one at a time, and guess what? Video performance hasn't been hurt by any of them.
No one has complained.
And now we can make videos more quickly. Or invest our freed-up time in learning something new!
Do I regret adding those cool features to my earlier videos? Heck no!
The first time I added them, they were art. They represented discovery and growth in my skills.
But that doesn't mean I have to keep using them in every project.
Not everything should be a box to be ticked.
You don't need a fancy method or organizational system to start journaling.
Just write a little bit every day. It doesn't matter what app or system you use. You can figure that out later.
File over app
File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom.
File over app is an appeal to tool makers: accept that all software is ephemeral, and give people ownership over their data.
In the fullness of time, the files you create are more important than the tools you use to create them. Apps are ephemeral, but your files have a chance to last.
The pyramids of Egypt contain hieroglyphs that were chiseled in stone thousands of years ago. The ideas hieroglyphs convey are more important than the type of chisel that was used to carve them.
The world is filled with ideas from generations past, transmitted through many mediums, from clay tablets to manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and tapestries. These artifacts are objects that you can touch, hold, own, store, preserve, and look at. To read something written on paper all you need is eyeballs.
Today, we are creating innumerable digital artifacts, but most of these artifacts are out of our control. They are stored on servers, in databases, gated behind an internet connection, and login to a cloud service. Even the files on your hard drive use proprietary formats that make them incompatible with older systems.
Paraphrasing something I wrote recently:
> If you want your writing to still be readable on a computer from the 2060s or 2160s, it’s important that your notes can be read on a computer from the 1960s.
You should want the files you create to be durable, not only for posterity, but also for your future self. You never know when you might want to go back to something you created years or decades ago. Don’t lock your data into a format you can’t retrieve.
These days I write using an app I help make called Obsidian (@obsdmd), but it’s a delusion to think it will last forever. The app will eventually become obsolete. It’s the plain text files I create that are designed to last. Who knows if anyone will want to read them besides me, but future me is enough of an audience to make it worthwhile.

I am doing research on body weight exercises and I am looking for a good reference of exercises. I am not looking for a program, but rather a "Encylopedia" like reference listing exercises with how-tos. Could be a book or app or site.
Anyone know of an exhaustive reference?
