  • This applies everywhere. I was looking at tickets as a Christmas gift and ticket prices for touring shows in Toronto are crazy. All the big name shows coming through this year (Lion King, Wicked, etc) are about $140-$190 CAD for average seats. The lowest tier tickets are still $90 and that’s for the seats wayy in the back of the balconies.

    Add in the fact that many people travel to come see these shows (I’m personally 2.5 hours from Toronto), so 2 tickets, dinner, and maybe a hotel is now getting upwards of $700 for a night out.






  • So project management on a personal scale is really varied based on what level of detail you need. I’ve worked with people who have ADHD traits and they worked best with a very micromanaged day, like there is a reminder every 15 minutes to keep them on track (that’s a generalization, but not far off).

    But if you’re just looking for some broader structure to help organize projects you have to do, you can look at AI assisted planners to remove some of the basic breakdown work. You can ask ChatGPT to create a rough outline for some major projects, give it a time frame, and mention any other circumstances (work, childcare, only work 1 hour at a time, etc.), it will give you a decent outline to start with. You can then break it down further if you need to and refine the time line to best fit your own needs

    There are lots of ‘personal project management’ books that can help to break it down, also good youtube videos on the subject. There are 3 primary things to remember though:

    • create manageable goals, this might take some trial and error to figure out timing.
    • stick to your plan. Putting off a task because you don’t feel like it defeats the purpose of making a plan.
    • if you stuck to the plan the best you could and it didn’t work out, don’t beat yourself up. Use it as a learning experience for next time you need to plan stuff out. Figure out why it didn’t work and fix it.

    Quick note: reading/other resources won’t hand you the answers, they will only help to provide and explain the tools you would need to be successful. Good luck!




  • Effective planning. It’s very easy to say " I’m doing this today and that tomorrow" but how realistic is that? Know how to break something down into its component pieces and be able complete them along a schedule. It’s basically project management, but for everyday stuff. It helps immensely to be able to tackle big projects and recognize that things are progressing even though the project still isn’t done. Hugely helpful for stress management.






  • I’m going to venture a guess that you likely won’t find one. Technically, the newest version of Bluetooth can hit the required bandwidth, but you’d need to have both transmitter and receiver capable of receiving the most current version, which I believe is quite different from previous versions (I think Bluetooth 5 is most current).

    Also, think of how easy Bluetooth can get interrupted. Ever had BT headphones on around a microwave? If you’re trying to stream 4k, any little interruption will likely cause loss of quality, like if you’re also using BT headphones near the theoretical camera. If you’re trying to use a BT camera for work or something requiring consistent quality, it may be better to get creative with your cable management.
