Habit stacking is a technique where you link a new habit or task to an existing one so it's easier to form. 

To prepare for an interview, start small by reviewing your resume after breakfast each day.

Then, build on that by following it with researching common interview questions while you commute. 

Next, add practicing answers aloud in your car or on a walk. 

Gradually increase difficulty by recording mock interviews on your phone and reviewing where you can improve. 

Soon, your routine will be: 

breakfast > resume review > research questions > practice answers > mock interview. 

Then, take it a step further. After work, fit in calling contacts for referrals during your regular exercise. 

Follow exercise with reviewing your networking and researching the company more in-depth. 
Right before bed, update your notes so it's fresh in your mind. 

Within a few weeks, all these small, connected habits will have you fully prepared without much effort since it's just an extension of your daily routine. 

Habit stacking makes interview prep seamless and ensures you put your best foot forward on the big day!

En español, cuando conoces a alguien por primera vez es común presentarte diciendo tu nombre. Por ejemplo, puedes decir: "Hola me llamo Shirley" "Hola me llamo Andrés" "Hola me llamo Reika" "Hola me llamo Amanda". Así que es una manera muy común de presentarse.
Muy bien, ahora vamos a aprender algunas formas básicas de saludar, el saludo más común es: "Hola". Es simple. Y puedes usarlo en cualquier momento, en la mañana, en la tarde o en la noche. Hola. También es bueno saber el saludo según la hora del día. Entonces por la mañana decimos: "Buenos días". 

En la tarde decimos "Buenas tardes" Repite conmigo. Y por la noche, "Buenas noches". ¿Puedes repetirlo conmigo? Repitan conmigo: Buenos días, buenas tardes, y buenas noches. Ahora, ¿Cómo responder cuando alguien te dice: "Buenos días, ¿cómo estás?" Puedes decir: "Buenos días, estoy bien gracias y ¿tú?" Muy bien. Gracias y tú. ¿Entonces? "Buenos días, ¿cómo estás? Estoy bien gracias". Muy bien es la manera natural de empezar una conversación. Es la manera de ser cordial. ¿Y ahora cómo decimos goodbye, cómo decimos "Adiós"? ¿Cómo nos despedimos? Bueno ya dije algo "adiós". También puedes decir "Hasta luego". "Chao". "Hasta pronto". "Nos vemos pronto" "Nos vemos mañana". Esas son algunas de las maneras de decir adiós. Chao, hasta luego.

Standing desks have been promoted as a healthy alternative for office workers who don't want to stay seated in front of a computer all day. But a new study suggests that standing desks may not be so good for us after all.

A research team, led by scientists at the University of Sydney, has found that standing for over two hours a day may increase the risk of developing circulatory diseases that can prevent the proper flow of blood in the body.

The researchers looked at data from over 83,000 adults in the UK who were not suffering from heart disease at the start of the study. For seven days, the participants wore a device on their wrists that recorded the time they spent sitting or standing each day.

After collecting this data, the researchers recorded any heart disease or circulatory health problems the participants experienced over the following seven years.

The research team calculated that after standing for two hours, every extra 30 minutes someone stands increases their risk of having a circulatory disease by 11%.

And although standing was not associated with an increased risk of health problems like heart disease or stroke, standing does not reduce the risk of developing such health problems either.

Speaking to The Guardian, Matthew Ahmadi, one of the authors of the study, said the key point of the study's findings is that standing instead of sitting doesn't provide any health advantage, and could increase health risks for some people.

Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the other authors of the study, told The Guardian that moving around during the day and getting regular exercise are better ways to reduce the risk of heart disease.

"Take regular breaks, walk around, go for a walking meeting, use the stairs, take regular breaks when driving long distances, or use that lunch hour to get away from the desk and do some movement," he said.
