Become an Informed Caregiver: What You Should Know When Caring for an Aging Loved One
You’re “it.” You’re a caregiver — completely responsible for a parent, spouse, or friend. All the things you need to know and do, the paperwork you’re getting, and the requests for information are overwhelming. Become an Informed Caregiver: What You Should Know When Caring for an Aging Loved One, explains what you need to know (and why) and how to get organized.
Being Mortal
In his bestselling books, Atul Gawande, a practicing surgeon, has fearlessly revealed the struggles of his profession. Here he examines its ultimate limitations and failures―in his own practices as well as others'―as life draws to a close.
BlockSite
This extension does what it sounds like. It blocks the websites you do not want to visit. One day, I tried logging how much time I wasted on social media websites. I thought it was nothing. It felt like five or ten minutes here and there. But it turned out to be a huge chunk of my day. These websites psychologically suck you in so that one quick video turns into ten. This site blocker has been so helpful. It also tells you how many times you visited that site while it’s blocked. This has opened my eyes to how often websites like Facebook and Youtube are almost a reflex to me when I get bored. A lot of people say they will not use this because they are scared to see how much time they waste. So they sit there in ignorance and continue to waste massive amounts of time. I suggest using the Nibble technique to get over this qualm. You do not have to get rid of hours of wasted time at once. But what about starting at just one less minute?
