⚙️ Optimization

Knowledge graphs: An introduction

Ever feel like your SEO strategy is based more on guesswork than data? This deep dive shows how search engines use knowledge graphs to understand what your customers are actually searching for.

Key Insights:

1. Search engines connect topics intelligently (Example: Understanding when "apple pie recipe" and "how to bake apple pie" mean the same thing)

2. Relationships matter more than keywords (Example: Google knowing a "café" is also a "restaurant" and a "coffee shop")

3. Content context drives rankings (Example: Understanding that content about "java" could mean coffee or programming based on surrounding topics)

Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life (Book)

In "Indistractable," behavioral design expert Nir Eyal presents a four-step model to overcome distraction and harness technology productively. Rather than advocating device abstinence, he explores the psychology behind distraction and offers practical techniques for controlling attention. The book addresses workplace culture, time management, relationships, and raising children in a digital age. Eyal, who previously wrote about making technology habit-forming, now shows readers how to master their attention and achieve their most important goals while using technology mindfully.
