      "title": "3 Excel Hacks to help you get super productive and manage your professional network!",
      "body": "Just add the following 3 sheets in your Excel file. I’ll tell you why!\n\nSheet 1: ‘Persons I Met’\n\nWe all know that NETWORK is the real NET WORTH and during our daily routine, we tend to meet many different people in the events, over social media or even during traveling who can be helpful to us or we can be to them in some or the other way. \n\nBut do we have that record of Whom we met and Where?\n\nIf the answer is ‘No’ then jump off to a new tab and add this sheet in your google drive and cultivate the habit of updating it everytime you come across someone who directly or indirectly did affect your thoughts along with the date and the place or the reason behind your meet. So, at anytime in future, if you want to connect with that ‘someone’ be it in the Tech sector, Finance sector or with people working in an NGO, You’ll just need to take a look at this ‘Persons I Met’ sheet and ping them by mentioning the event where you met or by some reference, which will save your time and can possibly open the doors of opportunity for both. At my company today, many of my team members consist of individuals whom I met through some seminars and business Bootcamps that I attended during my college days and we have been working together since then. \n\nSheet 2: ‘Mistakes and Learnings’\n\nI read somewhere: “When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it, and don't repeat it. If you repeat it the second time then it's not a mistake, it's a choice.” \n\nWell, that’s true. Making mistakes is not in our hands but not repeating it, definitely is! Many times in our professional career and even social life, we make tons of mistakes. So, instead of letting those mistakes affect us negatively, why not learn from it?! But you will learn only when you remember those mistakes and ponder upon them to correct it. So, click on the Add Sheet option now and rename it to ‘Mistakes and Learnings’. \n\nDuring my 3 years journey of CodeCrunch, I have made plenty of mistakes in hiring, during the seminars I gave, mistakes in my first youtube video, blunders in deciding the final quote for the clients and many more which I have constantly added in this sheet. This sheet is now full of real-life wisdom nuggets through which I analyze and improve myself to become a better version of my yesterday. \n\nSheet 3: ‘Work plan’\n\n“Either you run the day or the day runs you” - Very well said by Jim Rohn!\n\nEverybody knows the importance of planning but only a few actually do. When we fail to plan, we lose the track of our life happenings. The very same was happening with me in my company as well as in my personal life. So one fine day, I grabbed a chair and with a fresh mind, started writing down all the tasks in an Excel Sheet and named it - ‘Work Plan’ and once I was done with a particular task, I marked it in Bold. Trust me, these bold markings gave me, a sense of satisfaction along with a great thrust to my productivity levels. \n\nSometimes the solution is too simple but we keep looking out of the scope to find them just like to maintain our daily work plan, we don't need to buy any paid subscriptions of some planning app rather we can just start by adding this simple sheet which will help us track the time we consume for a certain task and if we are procrastinating some task from 3 days which could have been easily completed within 2 hours, this sheet will help you pick the right track. \n\nSo, these were my 3 very simple habits to get you going. If you feel it will add value to your life, I have something for you right here:  I have made one sample template named ‘Learn and Grow’ that includes all these 3 sheets which you can directly add to your google drive and start implementing it from today itself ( https://goo.gl/TnmueD ). \nNo procrastination please :) Do it now!!",

      "title": "Shared my view on 'Manage your push notifications wisely to take care of your time, money and productivity this year'",
      "body": "Social media, shopping and chat – are you controlling your smartphone or is your smartphone controlling you?\n\n\n\nFrom a student who wants to clear his or her entrance exam, a man who wants to buy a house for their family, a sports enthusiast who wants to wake up at 5 am to practice to the millennials working hard to get their career settled, everyone wants to grow.\n\nFor that, we all know, we need to go about things with full attention and focus. Only that can give us the desired results.\n\n\nNow take a look at your diary, journal or sticky note, whenever you might have your to-do list for 2018. Done? Yes, I am serious! If you are somewhere outside, go home, and follow the steps along with reading this article. This is not the first article you are reading on productivity; we all read a ton of articles/books and watch inspirational videos. Why doesn’t the motivation last forever? It's not the fault of the writer or speaker; it's because we get used to our routine life and forget about the change we want to bring in our life. Let’s not let that happen with this article so keep a pen and notepad handy.\n\nNote down all the apps which you use the most and frequently get notifications from. Now for at least 10 minutes analyse how much time you are spending on smart devices and how many times do push notifications to grab your attention, leading to you losing your focus from your actual work.\n\nDone? So now let’s discuss how these app notifications are affecting our progress and how to use them efficiently to take care of our time, money and productivity.\n\nTime and productivity\nWhenever you are busy with your work and get notifications from any messaging apps, social media websites or shopping apps, you leave your work to read that notification.\n\nThat notification does not only waste your 5-10 minutes, but when you return to your original task, you waste more time in thinking about that comment on Facebook, Whatsapp, or that 50 percent off sale. It’s only after some time that you can focus completely on the work at hand.\n\n\nLet’s say you are reading a book. You get a chat notification or a “You have a New Match” notification. That is sure to distract you; you end up convincing yourself that “I have read so much, let me take a 20-minute break” and you will leave everything to impress that stranger. Nothing wrong in that, but this lack of focus means you will need double you actually need to complete the work.\n\nYou come home from work and are having a conversation with your family. Then be with them and don’t let chat notifications divert your attention from family time. If you are with your better half, don't let that email notification ruin your personal time.\n\nExceptions are always there so don't tell me that you are the CEO/Head of Department and work depends on your reply. It's not that all notifications are a waste of time and don't add any value in your life.\n\nBut if at work you get a notification from a tech startup/media site that someone raised X million dollars, someone is shutting down their startup, or bitcoin prices dropped by 10%, chances are you spend a significant amount of time reading that article along with other reference articles. This diverts your attention into other stories, taking you away from your actual work.\n\nReading this article when you are supposed to complete other important tasks? Then I would suggest you bookmark this or note down in your to-do list that you will read it later.\n\nMoney\nImage : shutterstock\n\nAre you one of those people who only shops when the need arises? Or are you a shopaholic who is always ready to purchase with one push notification which goes “Hurry Up, grab this deal right now. 60% off on…” All these shopping notifications take money away from you, but could lead you to sharing this information with your colleague. So it turns out that your notification does not only affect your time and money, but also that of others.\n\nEveryone from investors Warren Buffet and Rakesh Jhunjhunwala to entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Richard Branson have reached their position because of their money management skills. Memorise this quote for your long-term financial freedom:\n\n“If you buy things you don't need, you will soon sell things you need”. - Warren Buffett\n\nUseful if used wisely\nWhen I figured out that these push notifications were affecting me in some way or the other, I decided to turn off all notifications of social media, chat app, and every other app that could divert my focus during work hours. When I was discussing the same topic with my other friends, one of them told me that turning off the social media/chat app notifications led to the mind wondering about things (FOMO), leading to more clicks on the apps. One of them said that their company doesn’t allow smartphones so people used to go to the washroom to use a smartphone.\n\nNo one will ever get stuck because of your one reply; If it’s that important, they can always call you. Now think: are you controlling your smartphone or is your smartphone controlling you?\n\nFor fashion designers, shopping app notifications are very important. There are many business owners who run their business through social media or chat applications, and notifications are important for them as well. There is no golden rule of productivity and no single app can be blamed. So have a look at your app list and turn off app notifications impeding your progress.\n\nI agree that throughout the day different apps do bring in value but:\n\n1) The first thing we do in the morning affects our whole day.\n\n2) The last thing we do before sleeping affects our subconscious mind throughout the night.\n\nSo try to avoid your smartphone for half an hour before you hit the bed and after you wake up. Instead, read a book or magazine and try to adopt a good habit such as yoga, exercise, spiritual reading, walking or whatever suits you.\n\nThere are still 11 months in 2018, so if you missed January, don't let other 11 months go in the same way.",

      "body": "![crypto.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPiR9GySj5xY4CBh9zxAWhTaahSKYWgxqGTKp2TbiEdNs/crypto.jpg)\n\nBefore hitting the subject, let's have a brief idea on the terms - Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin - One of the widely accepted Cryptocurrency!\n\nCryptocurrency, in the simplest of forms, is the digital currency designed with the ability to send, receive and trade based on the principles of cryptography.\n\nUnlike our printed money, cryptocurrencies are decentralized which means they are in no control of any traditional bank or centralized government. You alone control your cryptocurrency.\n\nThe security mechanisms for the transactions and control on the production of new coins are all defined by cryptography which can also be referred as decentralized Blockchain\n\nBlockchain is nothing but a digital ledger in which transactions made in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly.\n\n![crypto 1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQePVPJijMCqLeXyp8oKZ1YbtfdD9biVpksALxxq5dgy8/crypto%201.jpg)\n\nThere are a number of cryptocurrencies available wherein Bitcoin was the very first cryptocurrency launched by Satoshi Nakamoto on a white-paper. Bitcoin was invented as a peer-to-peer system for online payments that do not require a trusted central authority.\n\nWith the passage of time, Bitcoin has gained all the popularity and success beyond it was aimed to. It has grown to a whole new technology and a powerful investment medium.\n\nNow, an obvious thought might be striking your mind - Why the world, really need any cryptocurrency?\nAs stated by Ben Yu in one of his article, Bitcoin was invented in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, and this crisis was indeed a clear motivating factor for its creation.\n\nAny centralized banking system or institution that holds your money has full control over your assets. For example, When you deposit a certain amount, say 10,000INR, the bank doesn't keep all of that deposition for you, rather it almost invests 90%(roughly) of your deposits and keeps only 10%(roughly) of it for you to be used in liquid form. The same happens with every customer of that bank. So, just imagine, when suddenly a large part of the customers need their money back, will the bank be able to solve their need?\n\nObviously NO! Hence, The world is in extreme need of a decentralized payment system where only you control your money.\n\n50+ countries have already started facilitating Bitcoin through Bitcoin ATMs which include USA, UK, Spain, Japan, Sweden, Australia and many others. Also, the leading names in the tech industry such as Bill Gates & Sir Richard Branson are highly supporting Bitcoin and the blockchain technology.\n\nJuly 27, 2017 - Richard Branson’s private Blockchain Summit begins on Necker Island as stated in an article by Jamie Redman on Bitcoin.com. This is the third annual Blockchain Summit and will feature a host of cryptocurrency and blockchain industry luminaries for three days.\n\nHere is a glimpse of the summit 2016:\n\n\n Real life applications and working of Cryptocurrency\nThe cryptocurrencies are being accepted as a mode of payment by more and more people around the globe. Hence, it becomes mandatory to know where and how exactly different cryptocurrencies are being used.\n\n![blockchain use cases.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ7rDPm5uv2rJDc9hT6nwemdGHQ874pxidmC9s16aZXW9/blockchain%20use%20cases.jpeg)\n\nHere are some of the other widely used cryptocurrencies:\n\n1) Ethereum\n\nEthereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference. With Ethereum, you can safely do business with a person you don’t know; as all the terms are spelled out in a “smart contract” entrenched in the blockchain.\n\n2) Ripple\n\nRipple is a real-time currency exchange, remittance network, and settlement system. built upon a distributed open source Internet protocol, consensus ledger and native currency called XRP(a payment protocol that functions as a payment system, currency exchange, and a remittance network and works with fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, and commodities).\n\n3) Factom\n\nFactom is the first usable blockchain technology to solve real-world business problems by providing an unalterable record-keeping system. It stores the world's data on a decentralized system using blockchain technology for smart contracts, digital assets, and database integrity.\n\n4) Monero\n\nMonero is a secure, private, untraceable currency. It is open-source and freely available to all. With Monero, you are your own bank. Only you control and are responsible for your funds, and your accounts and transactions are kept private from prying eyes.\n\n5) Litecoin\n\nLitecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency released under the MIT/X11 license. It enables instant, near-zero cost payments to anyone in the world. Litecoin formation and transfer is based on an open source protocol.\n\n6) Dash\n\nDash is a privacy-centric digital currency with instant transactions. With Bitcoin, transactions are published to the blockchain and you can prove who made them or to whom, but with Dash the anonymizing technology makes it impossible to trace them.\n\nStartups also are coming up with ICO and the Big-Names in the industry are also showing their trust in them\n\n![ico.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb91FFyJ6Prq8jxHneQ62tKfK1MPrK1tP6TjCRnhmrGJi/ico.jpg)\n[Image credit: ETHNews.com]\n\nAccording to a recent article by Mo Marshall on VentureBeat, Blockchain startup Block.one has raised $185 million in just five days of selling its EOS cryptocurrency token. That sum breaks the record Bancor set just a couple of weeks ago with its nearly $150 million raise.\n\nThe well known Indian Angel Investor Mr. Sanjay Mehta is backing EOS and is in the managing team of Block.one.\n\n“Block.one intends for the EOS.IO software to support distributed applications that have the same look and feel as existing web-based applications, but with all of the benefits of the blockchain – namely transparency, security, process integrity, speed and lower transaction costs,” according to the company’s press release.\n\nBlock.one’s record-setting ICO comes amid a fresh surge in interest in blockchain technology and startups.\n\nCryptoCurrency/Bitcoin Bubble Burst\n\n![bubble.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXAs1PMcCbtNXnU3gVWigm4eTpk3eVVkeJT8hF1NDs5AL/bubble.jpg)\n\n\nCryptocurrency is definitely ‘too big to fail’ but there are some market corrections that can’t be ignored, as people are investing their hard earned money by seeing this as money making opportunity and invests in altcoins without knowing the exact purpose and the team behind that particular cryptocurrency.\n\nAccording to one of the article by Robert C. Wolcott on the Cryptocurrency Crash, he has very rightly said - “It Never Goes Down - Until It Does”\n\nBitcoin, Ether and others are real. These methodologies have a powerful future in our global financial system, though no one can predict what that will be. We can, however, confidently predict there will be casualties.\n\nWhen some of the dozens of cryptocurrency schemes crash, there will be a pain. However, the long-term impact on our economy of these experiments will be positive. The more troubles occur early, the more likely economic actors might successfully climb steep cryptocurrency learning curves.\n\nThe opportunity to quickly generate enormous wealth makes investment innovations powerfully attractive — and dangerous.\n\nMost investment innovations are fully digitizable or nearly so, and thus rapidly scalable. When a new financial instrument starts making some money, others pile in. A few early entrants do remarkably well. Later entrants, providers or investors, have to pay a higher price and assume more risk.\n\nSo far, this doesn’t appear different from other digitizable business concepts. We’re right now in the late stages of a gold rush for Uber-like models. A few will win and most will fail, and that’s just fine. By contrast, investment innovations can become, in a sense, “too big to fail.”\n\nLastly, something about the upcoming Bitcoin Fork\nThe Bitcoin fork that just recently happened on August 1, 2017 will be forcing the split of Bitcoin into two, resulting in a new digital currency, called Bitcoin Cash.\n\nWhy is the split happening?\n\nBitcoins aren’t really feasible for everyday transactions, we’re nowhere near being able to walk into a Starbucks and pay for our coffee in bitcoins.\n\nThe main reason behind this split is that the Bitcoin blockchain is slow and expensive. The bitcoin network can process up to six transactions per second, while the VISA network can process over 1600 transactions per second, which is quite faster.\n\nHence, the general public adoption will result only when the transactions will be as fast and convenient as existing payment networks. Unless that happens, bitcoin will be used mostly as a value storing the vehicle.\n\nBitcoin Cash(Bcash) buzz\n\n\"The creation of Bitcoin Cash is certainly a pivotal moment for Bitcoin and its community,\" Charles Hayter, founder of digital currency comparison website CryptoCompare, told CNBC on Monday.\n\n\"The inception of Bitcoin Cash may prove to be exactly what Bitcoin needs.\"\n\nBitcoin Cash will have all the history from the old blockchain. So any investors with Bitcoin tokens will receive the same number of tokens on the new blockchain too. Also, the block size for Bitcoin cash is increased to 8MB.\n\nAccording to CNBC, Bitcoin Cash will likely only be worth a fraction of Bitcoin. The original digital currency is trading around $2778.39 today, but future values for Bitcoin Cash on the website Coin Market Cap are just $288.35, or 0.103 of a bitcoin.\n\nThese are exciting and anxious times for Bitcoin. Bitcoin cash already has a fairly solid wallet and exchange support(visit bitcoincash.org for more details), but the real watch is whether the miners get behind it or not. In any case, it will be quite fascinating to watch the orientation and track of the Bitcoin cash over the coming weeks.\n\nNote: I am not a trader or an active investor in cryptocurrencies. I just personally invested some in the cryptocurrency I believe in :-). I too am exploring the enormous field of cryptocurrency yet, so this article is a summary of all the information I have gathered from various rich resources on the internet.
