  Ditch the devices and bring back the magic of being a kid 
   
  Screens are everywhere. Children spend an average of 7.5 hours on digital devices every day with profoundly negative consequences. While some tech may "amplify" real-life experience, the vast majority undermines it by limiting physical activity, creating anxiety, or damaging self-esteem. Childhood Unplugged takes a bold approach to creating healthy boundaries around the use of digital media.
   
  Drawing on her own family's experience, plus interviews with digital minimalists, educators, and child development experts, Katherine Martinko presents:
  Meticulously researched analysis of the impacts of excessive screen time on children's physical, neurological, emotional, and social development
  Specific pathways to reduced screen exposure, naturally leading to more time spent outdoors, increased confidence and empathy, and more creative and active play
  Inspiration for caregivers overwhelmed by the thought of severing ties with the digital babysitter
  Age-appropriate advice for parents of babies and toddlers, school-aged children, and adolescents.
  
   
  Taking a calming, nonjudgmental approach, Childhood Unplugged is a lifeline for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who questions the role of digital media and yearns for the young people in their life to experience the profound beauty and magic of childhood.

  Two Minds - Who Really Decides...

  Theo Whessler

  Every day, your brain makes hundreds of decisions before your conscious mind even realizes a choice is being made. You trust your instincts, believe your memories, and feel certain about your judgments — but neuroscience reveals that much of what you call "thinking" is something else entirely: a fast, automatic, largely hidden machinery that runs ahead of awareness, shaped by fatigue, arbitrary numbers, vivid stories, and the simple fact of what you happen to own. In Two Minds: Who Really Decides Inside Your Head, neuroscientist Theo Whessler translates fifteen years of laboratory research into a compact, precise, and deeply practical guide to the brain's most consequential errors. Drawing on landmark experiments in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics — from Benjamin Libet's unsettling discovery that the brain initiates action before conscious intention appears, to Kahneman and Tversky's systematic mapping of human irrationality, to Philip Tetlock's decades-long study of why experts predict worse than algorithms — Whessler builds a unified picture of how the mind actually works, and where it reliably goes wrong. At the heart of the book are the "Seven Traps of the Brain": seven persistent failures that strike under uncertainty, time pressure, and social influence. Anchoring pulls your estimates toward irrelevant numbers you didn't choose. Hindsight bias rewrites your memory of the past until the outcome seems inevitable. Loss aversion makes you cling to what you own and fear giving it up twice as much as you valued gaining it. Base-rate neglect causes you to ignore statistical reality in favor of a vivid story. Overconfidence distorts your planning until budgets double and timelines triple. Framing changes your decision without changing a single fact. And confabulation — the brain's most intimate trick — ensures that when you explain why you did something, you are usually telling a story rather than reporting a cause. Whessler does not stop at diagnosis. Each trap is explained through its neurobiological mechanism, identified through recognizable signs in everyday behavior, and countered with a concrete checking procedure. Readers learn to use the outside view to forecast more accurately, run premortems to expose what optimism conceals, apply structured checklists to override expert overconfidence, and redesign their decision environments so that better choices become the default path. Written for people who make consequential decisions — investors, executives, analysts, clinicians, and anyone who wants to stop repeating the same cognitive mistakes — Two Minds is sharp, evidence-based, and immediately applicable. It does not promise to eliminate bias, because the science makes clear that this is impossible. It promises something more useful: after this book, you will recognize the traps before you fall into them, and you will have the tools to build a life and a workplace where your best thinking has a fighting chance.

  You are an Agile Coach and your client has asked you a question.  He is an engineering manager and the company has just announced a "work from home" policy.   Developers may now work from home instead of coming to the office. 
  The Engineering Manager has asked you if there are any "Agile Metrics" he can use to make sure his developers stay busy and are not being lazy.  He is investigating software to record when people log in and log out, and count their keystrokes in between. 
  What should you tell him to do? 
  This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.
