Unlike generic "brain games," memoryOS is built on scientifically proven methods, such as mnemonics and spaced repetition, the company says. It introduces a modern twist: the Virtual Mind Palace. This centuries-old technique (used by memory champions and scholars) has been digitized and gamified, making it fun and engaging to practice. The result? Users report an average 70% boost in memory recall, the company says.

We are living through an AI revolution. Boards are green-lighting pilots and buying AI licenses to maximize employee productivity. However, the most powerful performance lever in the modern workplace isn't algorithmic, it's human. When people are happier at work, they create, collaborate, and stay. When they aren't, the best tech in the world won't stop the value from leaking out of your organization.

The month of September signals a fresh start, and experts say it naturally triggers our 'back to school' seasonal mindset. As schools reopen, a new productivity trend known as the 'fall curriculum' is going viral on TikTok. Gen Z and Millennials are replacing their endless social media scrolling to create structured learning plans called the 'fall curriculum' trend, which involves setting three-to-five personal subjects to master during the fall season.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but how we spend them defines our productivity. Studies show that 83.13% of professionals spend up to one-third of their week in meetings. With endless calls, meetings, emails, and documentation taking over your day, you can feel like you're spending more time doing "work about work". This is where Agentic AI tools step in.

PopClip for MacOS is for MacOS, and it's fantastic -- but it's not free. You can install it and enjoy a free trial, but after that trial expires, you'll have to pony up for a license. The good news is that a lifetime license costs only $25 . PopClip is like a clipboard manager on steroids. Thanks to a robust extension library, you can integrate PopClip with the likes of Notes, Craft, Evernote, Logseq, Notion, Obsidian, OneNote, and many more.

With Supercal's group scheduling feature, you can email a group of people and CC the service's AI, which reads everyone's calendars, finds a time that works for all, books the meeting, and replies to the email thread with the details. Supercal lets you sync up to six calendars, so you can keep work, personal, and other schedules in one place.

This summer, I did something unusual for me: I hit pause. After a year that included launching an in-person summit for nearly 200 women, hosting a retreat in Cabo, launching my podcast (with co-host Dr. Nicole Martin), and releasing a book, I was, in a word, tired. The kind of tired that no amount of coffee or color-coded planner could fix.

As part of an AI trial across government, more than 1,000 tech workers across 50 different departments trialed AI coding assistants from Microsoft, GitHub Copilot, and Google Gemini Code Assist between November 2024 and February this year. Figures published following a review of the scheme shows developers are saving around one hour each day, equivalent to around 28 working days a year. Technology minister Kanishka Narayan said the trial scheme highlights the benefits of rolling the technology out across government.

This article won't start out well, because I'm sort of at rock bottom in my career and it seems that I'm projecting my frustrations of the industry out in the open. But I promise you, my rants are merely neutral observations and opinions. I love talking to people, and over the last 2 months of unemployment (I am now employed), I called upon designer friends all in Asia and Europe to get their opinion

You know that feeling when your to-do list is a mile long, but nothing seems to be getting done? The problem, often, isn't the workload-it's how the work is structured. Large tasks can be overwhelming, making it hard to know where to start or how to move forward. Breaking them down into smaller, actionable steps helps you stay on track and make real progress.

Businesses are rightly obsessed with productivity. This is the primary parameter of their profitability. And productivity, basically, is the product of three human-related factors: Individual abilities Motivation Knowledge Organizational and methodological factors could be mentioned, but they actually come down to knowledge. The methodology is only a factor of productivity insofar as it is known and controlled. To be complete, we should add a nonhuman factor: the work tool, whether robots or software.

He calls b.s. when he sees it, but he isn't a hater. As fast as O'Leary is to declare "I'm out!" he also doesn't hesitate to throw his full energy behind the things he loves. If you follow Mr. Wonderful on social, you know he loves watches. WORSHIPS watches. We talked about where his passion for collecting rare timepieces came from and how that obsession led to his latest venture, WonderCare, a partnership with the 1916 company.

The move was framed as a productivity boost, yet the timing tells a different story. While hybrid models persist in corporate America, federal workers are being forced into rigid arrangements. The administration's stance suggests that where people work is the central determinant of performance. Leaders are treating location as policy, not as lived experience. This misses the essence of what actually makes HR systems succeed or fail.

In July, French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou proposed eliminating Easter Monday and Victory in Europe Day (May 8) from France's annual list of 11 public holidays. Outrage ensued, with political leaders from across the spectrum attacking the plan. Bayrou said the move would help France ease budgetary pressures. He is not the only one to come up with such a proposal.
