I’m loving each of the words and that’s really really work me out. I wish it will help you too, to understand what’s productivity.

Productivity is about DOING, not Blathering Nonsense

When it comes right down to it, the most important piece of advice I can give you is this: Stop Being Lazy. Just Do Something Already!

It doesn’t matter how organized you are, how many ideas you have, or how well you’ve kept up with all the latest news—if you don’t get to work now, you will never get anything done. Stop worrying about whether you are going about it the right way, if you’re going to fail, or whether anybody will care. If you believe in your ideas and simply execute them, you’ll be 90% of the way there—and you can always change course if you need to.

Well, I’m also thinking to write something about Public Speaking. I couldn’t able to attend that much conference (even I didn’t speak, I wish I’ll soon) but I had experience to join some seminar lucky. In one of my Course English III, I got a excellent Instructor (previously worked in British Council) — who inspired me, support me and I always gave the full concentration and I can still remember that I didn’t missed a single words for the four months of the course.

Whatever, I’m always trying to implement or express my expertise publicly but what cares whom? But, recently I got a chance in my Class. Teacher requested us to “Speak Up” about any topics. So, I prepared my presentation and I was little bit afraid, heart also beating little bit faster which impacting but it will start to smooth in a short time. Lets know more from Matt.

Ask Matt: Tips On Public Speaking
I get asked a lot about tips on public speaking because I do it so frequently. Positive response when I give a talk is generally proportional to how relaxed I was when giving the presentation and on good days I’ll get comments like people were able to relate to what I was saying or that watching me calmed them down. I don’t mention this in the video, but besides breathing and remembering the audience is there to see you do well, the best way to relax is to know your material down cold. I’ve lived and breathed WordPress for almost 7 years now, so I can talk about it for hours without thinking twice. I think practicing and knowing your material well comes across most in your body language which probably affects how people perceive your presentation more than what you say.

We are always talking about web usability and we shouldn’t forget about the advertisement usability. What does it mean? The way actually ads are presenting to the audience and easiest way an audience understanding or holding the main theme of the ads inside brain. When it really makes sense — how fast and easily an ads motive an customer and insisting customers to try it or buy it. Let see more.

LinkedIn is a free business social networking site that allows users who register to create a professional profile visible to others. Through the site, individuals can then maintain a list of known business contacts, known as Connections. LinkedIn users can also invite anyone to join their list of connections. LinkedIn offers an effective way by which people can develop an extensive list of contacts, as your network consists of your own connections, your connections’ connections (2nd degree connections), as well as your 2nd degree’s connections (called your 3rd degree connections). From this network, individuals can learn of and search for jobs, business opportunities, and people. LinkedIn also serves as an effective medium by which both employers and job seekers can review listed professional information about one another. LinkedIn follows strict privacy guidelines wherein all connections made are mutually confirmed and individuals only appear in the LinkedIn network with their explicit consent. Other LinkedIn features include paid accounts that offer more tools to find people, and “LinkedIn Answers” developed in January 2007. A free feature, “LinkedIn Answers” allows registered users to post business-related questions that anyone else can answer.

Most recently I’m looking for something web usability and got great tips which is shared by Regnard at webstandards. Just Three Ways To Improve Web Usability. Still, I’m looking for new something, if you have — share in comments.

Web designers and developers can do three simple steps to improve their working usability skills:

1. Know Your Users – This step puts almost everything into context. By using any available method to elicit feedback from the target users, you can have a better what they really need to do effectively on the website.
2. Design For the Users - Upon having a better idea what the users need,  the next step is to make it more easy for them to complete their tasks. Let’s take an online store for example: Place critical links in easier to access areas and make prioritized buttons like checkout or emptying the cart more conspicuous.
3. Test! – A wise man said that simple testing beats zero testing any day, so try to test your design. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate lab set-up, but having an open mind get weird and unexpected from a user helps.
