\u201cHappiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can\u2019t control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nEpictetus<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, on to today’s notes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

SIGN:\u00a0Petition to\u00a0Opt-Out of Non “Significant” Search Terms in Google Ads<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICYMI, Google started hiding search terms in our SQRs. If Google won’t give us the data for search terms with “insignificant clicks,”\u00a0we ask for the ability to opt out of showing ads on all queries not deemed to be “significant.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u27a5 \u00a0ACTION:<\/strong>\u00a0If you are serious about your job:\u00a0sign.\u00a0Hey, at least we tried, didn’t we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

LISTEN: Your Attribution Problem<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attribution always leaves me in the dark. After reading this article, I still have no answers, but at least I learned about more things I don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u27a5  ACTION:<\/strong> Why not forward to your colleagues and discuss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

INSTALL:\u00a0“f.lux” software to make your life better<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If WFH has ruined your daily routines and you end up working late, best make sure your eyes don’t suffer and sleeping does not feel like mission impossible when work is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u27a5 \u00a0ACTION:<\/strong>\u00a0Give it a try. My screen feels “warm at night and like sunlight during the day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Thanks for being here, I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Nils<\/p>\n\n\n\n
