*** Conquer Your To-Do List With Your Phone ***
<https://hbr.org/2014/12/conquer-your-to-do-list-with-your-phone>
Alexandra Samuel, Harvard Business Review

> Embrace the power of your phone to keep you from forgetting the little stuff, and you’ll enable your to-do list as the place to keep track of the big stuff. Once you stop relying on it as the one-stop place to find everything you ever need to remember, looking at it every day will become much less daunting. That means your to-do list can finally do what it’s meant to do: keep you focused on the work that matters most.

Darrell Etherington, TechCrunch

> The AppRadio 4 scratches a specific itch: the itch for CarPlay, right now, with the car you already have. It’s capacitive touchscreen means that it detects input effectively and reliably, and the Bluetooth audio streaming offers up a lot of benefit even if you’re uninterested in the rest of the software features, plus the hardware operates as a very capable head unit upgrade regardless of what else you’re doing with it.

<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/02/opinion/why-our-memory-fails-us.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, New York Times

> When we recall our own memories, we are not extracting a perfect record of our experiences and playing it back verbatim. Most people believe that memory works this way, but it doesn’t. Instead, we are effectively whispering a message from our past to our present, reconstructing it on the fly each time.
