Android Lost Controls Your Stolen Phone, Even After You've Lost It
Android: Most phone recovery apps require you install the app before you lose the phone or it gets stolen. Android Lost, however, can be remotely installed and it comes with a slew of useful features beyond just locating your phone.Android Lost is similar to previously mentioned Plan B, but Plan B only works for Android 2.0 to 2.3 and is dedicated to simply locating your missing phone. Android Lost, as the video above shows, not only locates by GPS (or network), but can also remotely wipe or lock your phone, take pictures, send message popups, get call lists, erase the SD card, record sound from the microphone, start an alarm, and much more—making it a great security app.You can install the app from the Google Play site, and then send an SMS to register your device with the Android Lost website where you control the phone. If you have tablet without SMS, you can still remotely register the phone with the Jumpstart app.Aviel Livay's story of how he used Android Lost to track his daughter's stolen phone showcases some of the best uses of the app and how useful it can be.You can also use the app for non-recovery purposes—to disable the lockcode if you've forgotten it, for example, or remotely control your Android device from afar.Pick up the free app at the Google Play store.Android Lost | Google Play
What's the Worst Mistake You've Made in a Job Interview?

Start Your To-Do List with Things You've Already Done
Getting started—and continuing—on a project is tough. To get into a productivity streak and build the momentum you need to keep going, trick yourself by backfilling your to-do list with what you've already accomplished today.This tip comes from TaskRabbit engineer Zack Shapiro, who says that creating and sustaining momentum is the key to fighting our many environmental triggers (other than using sheer willpower). Momentum, his blog post title states, is a hell of a drug.Psychologically, this is like Jerry Seinfeld's Productivity Secret (don't break the chain!), and tactically, it's like using a "done" list to keep you motivated. In this case, though, you begin by reviewing what you've already accomplished and using those checked off tasks to give you a running start. As Fast Company notes, this productivity hack could also include reviewing (or even retyping in author Joan Didion's case) all the work you've already completed so far. "When you think about it, productivity is velocity."Momentum is a hell of a drug | Zach Shapiro via Fast CompanyPhoto by Courtney Dirks.When we see that we're on a streak, our brains want to do more to continue the streak. The longer the streak, the greater the disappointment if we break the streak.
If you've done something for 61 days in a row, don't you want to hit 62? Wouldn't itsuck to start over again at one?
So today, I encourage you to take the first step in starting a streak.
Make a list. Backfill it with things you've already done today.
Now do the first item on that list. Maybe you do the second one too. Keep it going and don't stop.
Excellence is momentum.
