I do the same thing. But there's always another level I see a lot of people (well the ones sharing their screen in meetings) forget about: Windows.

For each topic, I have a window for it. And I have at least 5 windows always open (e.g. Email, Youtube [currently 25 paused videos], HN [Sometimes I'll keep articles open I want to get to, but then I will blindly close hem all to start over], Google Drive, Google Music, etc). That way I can close the window when that task is complete.

I always tell myself that I can just Bookmark those 5 things and go to that site again, but I never do.

I'm American, and had thought the same thing at first glance. My brain had expected the word "water" to be there, but wasn't.

Winning arguments and solving problems are two different skillsets. And the US Congress is mostly people with the former. Not to say that winning arguments doesn't help when choosing a solution, but it is very different.

The same thing happens to me - I call it a low-res tan because it's all pixelated.

I realized early on that sometimes management thinks that if you don't look stressed than your not taking it seriously enough. Phrases like "I don't feel that you have a sense of urgency" really messed with my head back then.

Real management is about making decisions, most typically about how to apply limited resources amongst competing options.

But a lot of Managers (and the managed) think it is about managing people. Their real role is “Overseer” not Manager, and in that role their real task is to ensure you’re working harder.

I have had that exact same thing said to me. didn't so much mess with my head as make me think someone with such a poor grasp of appearance vs reality had no business being a CEO.

They tend to be a bit anxious and get anxious that your not anxious. There are many that are not like that

I have a old keyboard (Ensoniq SQ1-Plus) where the battery doesn't work right (even when changed) and I was going to put ML Studio on a Raspberry Pi or Mini PC with a USB MIDI device to record. But this thing is exactly what I'm looking for.

When I want to record for real, I'm going to use my DAW. But I want a way to quickly record tracks and this looks pretty great.
