Online Class Notes (Tibo)

People seem to take their holidays earlier than the bank holiday  / before the labour day holiday. / earlier than the official date.

We are busier than before. I think actually we don’t have enough time to to hang out.

Generally in the company they set a high KPI / it is a metric.
They OKR is more self driven, you set a goal and send it to your boss and he needs to set a team goal and send it to the VP, the VP arranges the goal in total and spreads them out.

I feel it is very clear and we can have a clear target to improve.
Sometimes you use a lot of big words to describe your work but the fundamentals are less. / sometimes you exaggerate when explaining what you do

the whole road was red / so I took a subway first and then took another taxi.

She does this every time to welcome me home / to welcome me back

It is another way to push the employees to work hard

We need to send this to our boss and share it publicly  / they are public goals.
It could push people to set higher targets / it could push people to compete with each other

I am the people who can be shaped by the environment -> I am someone who can be shaped by the environment.

At home I become someone easygoing.

Without supervisor, I walk around my home to find something to make me feel comfortable and happy.

One of my male friends told me when he goes off work he likes to stay in his car, when he is at his parking spot he likes to stay there and listen to music for half an hour and then head back home.

I attended some workshops about psychology.
It is close to mediation

It asks you to focus on your breathing

It could help me to train my brain to pay attention to something.
I recognized/realized I had a bad memory about everything so at the beginning I thought I had become older.

I’m getting attracted to short videos.

It is a terrible thing, my mind cannot pay attention and it looks like my mind is waiting for new things to fulfill my desires. / stimulate it

It tells my brain you don’t need to remember everything.
My mind becomes messy so I just stopped Tik Tok and short videos ultimately playing  / I stopped watching short videos entirely.

Also I train my mind to feel the daily life and little things and pay attention at each moment / I train my mind to feel present.  I found my mind is back and I can have a clear mind to think and remember things.

the hardest challenge is how to prolong / extend my attention span.

She can understand my mind and she likes to disturb me to let me know she is there. / she wants me to pay attention to her.

We have the opportunity to use science and tech to help us to solve problems like difficult work.
You don’t need to collect all the data by yourself. At the beginning one boss asked me to do it by hand and now you can use the machine to do it and collect the data. You don’t need to do it manually anymore.
I still believe tech would stop in some distance from your needs / won’t be able to totally match your needs.

If I don’t remember them or repeat using them I still cannot digest them.
The machine could have data curiosity.
