Know Yourself #8: How to reach flow
▶️ When we have to do important work we face two enemies – distraction (=not being able to concentrate because sth is disturbing you) and procrastination (=not doing important things on time). One is the enemy from outside, the other from within. But then there are times when we’re productive and getting work done doesn’t even feel hard. That’s called “flow”. Watch this video by TED Ed to find out what it takes to reach flow.

Future #15: Obsolescence
▶️ Technology has not only changed our lives, it has also changed itself completely. Cassettes and CDs were once so common that we thought they’d stay around, but now they are obsolete (=no longer needed), like many other things.

Our favourite mistakes #148: Writing
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Toshkent aholisi 3,1 million, Andijonniki 500.000.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
The population of Tashkent is 3,1 million, that of Andijan 500.000.
✅ Well, it should be:
The population of Tashkent is 3.1 million, that of Andijan 500,000.
❓What’s wrong here?
❗️ Just as you say “three point one” – what you write is a dot, NOT a comma. Conversely, large numbers are separated by commas in English, NOT by dots.
💡More examples:
I scored❌ 7,5 ✅ 7.5 in IELTS.
I paid❌ 100.000 ✅ 100,000 soum for this.
It took me❌ 1,5 ✅ 1.5 hours to get home.
