    I love your parents 😂 It's clear where you get it from, what I really want to know for the future is how amazing of a sense of humor Ada will have with you and Chyna as parents, and YOUR parents as grandparents, she's going to keep you on your toes and on your A-game that's for sure (I mean more than she already does 😅)

    I gotta say, you nailed this one! It's got the humor of silly WheezyNews videos with the informational stuff of the main channel. I don't know what it was exactly but the humor worked so well for me. Maybe it was the high jokes/minute ratio? And your parents killed it!
    Also, I was going through a rough patch last year and your coupon pushed me try BetterHelp, which I used for months and it helped a lot.
    Great video all around, Craig. Loved it!

      Watch one of the last videos about the perfect nighttime routine. They have implemented a moment at night where they reset the home for the next day.
      And it is about training yourself and family members: when you are done with a thing, put it away immediately.

    The links and images in spam emails usually include a tracker, so once you click "unsubscribe" they know it's an active address and will send even more spam your way. To avoid that, don't open spam emails, or at least don't open any links and make sure images are not automatically displayed.

    • @jem9978
      @jem9978 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's old, bad advice, at least for well-known companies. Most companies use reputable email autoresponders which have to conform to ICANN rules. Only the most unscrupulous marketers would make a list from the blocked email adresses, and even then, they're not even given the option to do that on some email services/servers.

    Surface zero- a couple of weeks, may need professional help, have been in a depression and hoarding tendencies took over.

    I got ADHD and organizing my life is a serious struggle for me! same goes for work - I will try not to use my inbox as a todo list because it really overwhelms me. A mail is not just the simple task "call X" but a person, a lot of other text, the history of the conversation, etc. So I think I get visually and emotionally overwhelmed by seeing all that all the time. Thanks Craig! :)

    FAIL! Having your desktop folder be your download folder is failure waiting to happen. That's how people end up with tons of files there. Instead, set your download folder to the temp directory(/tmp right inside the main hard drive) on your Mac, which you can get to by hitting shift command g. When you restart your computer, that directory gets emptied. If you care enough about a downloaded file, you'll move it. Otherwise, when you restart, it will be gone.

    I don't need a "why" to inbox zero, I need a "how" to inbox zero. Everything I've seen/read (for gmail specifically) involve other apps and tools to sort and archive and filter more efficiently - so a job that would take hundreds of hours might only take a week. But I still can't bring myself to spend days and days organizing my inbox. With camera's mem card you can "lock" particular photos you want to keep and then with one button delete all the rest. I have never understood why this isn't an option for email.
