It's 2000, I'm sitting in my parent's walk-in closet in our tiny apartment, where we kept the computer. I start up the computer and hear, Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding* (I've included a youtube video if you need a reminder on what dial-up sounds like).
The internet was just emerging! I felt like the luckiest person to have internet in my house. I don't remember doing much with it, but I do remember that sound and the simple appearance. Just to think that it was Web 1.0 that I was experiencing. Now I get to experience Web 2.0 and even Web 3.0! As much as it is great to experience Web 3.0, I would like Facebook to stop promoting items I don't need... But wait maybe that's Web 4.0? Before I give myself a headache, maybe I'll just stick to trying to understand Web 2.0 before I get into the others.
This week I attended a professional development workshop on The 4 Disciplines of Execution. While I sat in this workshop I immediately thought about this course. Before I get started on why EME6414 came to mind, let me give you a quick overview of what The 4 Disciplines of Execution are. Overview: It's basically promised that if you can adopt the 4 disciplines then you can produce breakthrough results! Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important Goal (WIG) Discipline 2: Act on Lead Measures Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard (this is where it's going to all make sense). Discipline 4: Create a cadence of accountability In the workshop, they talked about the whirlwind. In the whirlwind, there is a lot of stuff going on, but not everything is important. This is where the WIG comes in. Finding your FOCUS. In order to do things well, you need to focus on two important tasks at a time. They shared this example. If Jimmy wants to learn how to tie his shoe, we need to create...
Reflection: What did I learn this week? Never leave your laptop when you go on vacation. Not everything can be done from your phone! I wanted to make sure I kept up with actively participating in blogs. For some reason my phone will not allow me to log in to my google to post on blogger accounts. Which left me having to go through everyone’s blogs to find who wasn’t using blogger 🤦🏻♀️ Talk about a pain in the butt! As for more relevant things I’ve learned this week. I need to be better at giving credit where credit is due. So much is out on the internet, but that doesn’t mean you can just take what you want. I’d hate for someone to take my images if I worked hard at creating them.
Wow what a week! I have no idea how influencers or anyone who uses social media on the daily to create curated content does it. I just had to post once a day and was struggling. Between working full time, single parenting it this week while my husband was away for a fishing trip, to both my kiddos getting sick… I just yeah… I have no idea how people do it. Let’s just say I won’t be quitting my day job anytime soon to take to social media. I also realized how curated content works. Just after my first post on Instagram two people thought I was getting hacked 😅 I added a disclaimer on my second post. There wasn’t much activity, but I did have someone say they loved OneDrive as well. So that was cool. I think because what I was posting wasn’t my usual content. There wasn’t much traction on my posts. I think it’s for sure because I was posting to the right crowd. I will say it was pretty crazy how one reel on my daughter got 4,730 views. Which I don’t know how that makes me feel? Kin...
