Turn the Anchor into a 12-Word Personal Mission Statement You Can Recite Daily
Pick the single value that jolts instant fire: write it on a sticky note, rank every daily action against it for one week, cut anything below 80 % alignment. Compress the winners into action-target-result, each counted as one word; keep shaving until the sentence hits exactly twelve. Example: “Create honest code that shields children from digital harm.” Read it aloud every dawn before unlocking the phone; record the recitation, loop it during drive, whisper it before each calendar invite. After 21 days, swap one noun for a crisper synonym; repeat quarterly. Track adherence with a three-column table:
3. Reverse-engineer (8 min): ask the person who nailed the win exactly four questions: What lit the fuse? What tool saved time? Who unblocked you? What tiny call paid off? Answers go into quick notes under the item.
Need a instant play button? Morph /file/d/ with /drive/user/uc?id= and append &bypass=yeah. Paste that combo inside Notion ; the preview auto-expands and flows straight from the Google Drive public direct link’s servers–no iframe , no access-denied, no 15-GB viewer limit .
Assign cache location with registry entry HKCU\Software\Google\DriveFS\ContentCachePath to \
as\mirror; push the .reg file through Intune so no user intervention is required. Limit upstream to 5 % in Options → Speed to keep cloud delta uploads invisible to staff.
https://drive.usercontent.google.com/uc?id=1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9I0J
Preserve every URL parameter intact–only swap the host.
Zero API key or OAuth token is
required after the switch.
The hack applies for files set to “Public” visibility.
If the file is restricted to organization or is in a Shared Drive, the 403 persists; adjust sharing settings beforehand.
Bash one-liner to patch a list of URLs:
List the sensory stack in one column: aroma, texture, color, dB.
In the opposite column, drop the single action you nailed that nobody else could have done in that second.
Circle the verb that required zip hesitation.
Shave the memory down to a 5-word headline. Example: “Canoe launch 4:47 a.m.” or “Told director the plan sucks.”
Expiry control: append &lifetime=1day to the export string; the link self-destructs after 86 400 seconds, perfect for secret drops. Track hits by slapping on &src=gmail-batch –later sort Analytics by that tag to see how many eyeballs actually viewed the picture .
Strip every parameter after the 33-character ID–/view?usp=sharing, /edit?resourcekey, /preview–they re-route the request back to the viewer shell. Keep the ID case-sensitive; changing a single letter produces a 404.
Stack micro-actions onto built-in habits: post-toothpaste, spend 3 minutes jotting one idea that advances the mission; while java brews, DM a mentor one pinpoint question; every time you fuel the car, leave a 60-second voicemail of love to a collaborator. Stacking prevents discipline drain.
Re-open the Google Drive app; the consent prompt will re-surface. Sign in with the matching Google Workspace account, then at once access the tray menu → Settings → Offline → check “Enable offline mirror”. If the checkbox remains gray, open Registry Editor, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\DriveFS, nuke the string value OAuth2RefreshToken, reboot the app, and approve the additional scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file when requested. Local folders will reappear within a minute and a half without fetching everything.
Toggle Chrome flags parallel-fetch and turn-on-fast-open to on; the first splits every file bigger 50 MB into 3 parallel streams and reduces wait time by 28 % on 100 Mb/s links, the second trims handshake latency by 30 ms on average.
5. Trash (4 min): pick the top Depleted item with ≥2 votes. If it can’t be automated, axed, or delegated in 48 h, it must be lumped into a half-hour calendar slot next week. Captain writes the slot title and tags the helper before retro ends.
Re-approve the Google Drive permission in Credential Manager to bring back offline mode
Close the browser completely (verify Task Manager for any lingering processes). Tap Win + R, key in control /name Microsoft.CredentialManager and press Enter. Pick “Windows creds”, locate every entry containing https://drive.google.com or accounts.google.com, open each one and tap “Erase”. Open PowerShell as administrator and execute:
Ship prototypes at “good-enough” fidelity. Testers on Product Hunt loved demos ≤ 72 % done, offering 2.4× more real feedback and 1.8× quicker follower growth than “pixel-perfect” builds, because early rough edges call in collaboration not critique.
Clear the local cache at once. Windows: ipconfig /flushdns. macOS Catalina and newer: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache && sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder. Linux with systemd: sudo systemd-resolve –flush-caches. Edge-Chrome users should also purge the internal cache at chrome://net-internals/#dns and press “Flush host cache”.
