 +    * “April 13 ruling by US District Court Judge Kimba Wood, allowing media and entertainment company Mashable and other publications to continue to embed photos posted on Instagram without paying professional photographers for them.
 +    * “According to the ruling, as soon as you post them to the ’gram, your images aren't exactly your own. And some of those people who make a living in photography are pissed.
 +    * “Embedding is taking a post from Instagram (or another social media platform) and putting it directly into a story on another website. It shows the full frame of the post, and disappears if the original poster removes it from their feed.“
 +    * "This whole issue with the embeds directly impacts my ability to control where my work is published. I've had a few cases where publications have embedded my pictures and that's a direct hit against my bottom line. They're getting work for free that I should've been able to license," said M.

 +    * “I capture every fleeting thought and idea in Evernote,” she says. “I’ve joked about the people who use the ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ bracelets. I’ve always trained myself to think, ‘Can this go in Evernote?’ I very much subscribe to the idea of it as an external brain.”
 +    * Rely on tags more than notebooks - add five or six tags to individual notes including “creativity” and “productivity,” as well as “work” and “career.” Another is “money.”
 +    * Specific time each week to review captured notes looking for connections
 +    * Check lists within evernote
 +      * Example: onboarding - “I’m a big believer in self-onboarding. I think probably because I’m a lover of words, and of writing, I don’t want to train someone. I want them to train themselves, essentially,” she says.
 +        * “They will walk themselves through our onboarding process, which has a litany of articles to read. It gives them case studies and various steps to go through. So for about two weeks when someone joins Soapbox Influence, they’re spending time in Evernote.”

I have double bills – a mortgage and a rent payment, two light bills and two water bills, two internet bills. People will say, ‘maybe your landlord should give you a break.’ No he shouldn’t. Then I’m taking money out of his pocket. It’s like a trickle down thing. He has been so kind, but that’s not how this works. I should be able to come to work safely and cautiously and not be persecuted  for it.”
