T-Mobile BOHO deal is on, save 50% on second smartphone from same manufacturer

Posted on by

Thanks to our compatriots at TmoNews, we gave you the heads up on this deal yesterday and, just as predicted, the deal is now live.

New and existing customers on Simple Choice plans are eligible for this offer, with the caveat that you have to buy both smartphones from the same manufacturer, so no mixing your LG G4 with a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. You can apply the deal on up to 6 devices and can purchase through either an installment plan or pay for the devices outright.

The full list of eligible devices include:

  • Samsung Galaxy S6
  • Samsung Galaxy S6 edge
  • Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 5
  • LG G4
  • LG V10
  • Some Apple devices too, apparently. Not that any of you care.

The deal is available either in-store or by calling 1-877-413-5903. There’s on way to access it online, unfortunately.

T-Mobile didn’t give an end date for the deal, only that it is a limited time offer, so if you want to take advantage I would recommend doing it sometime this week.

Anyone planning to take T-Mobile up on this deal?

Triggering Quantum Leaps In Human Performance

Posted on by

Sports records used to stand for years. Today they fall regularly, and by wide margins. As researchers explore what helps extreme athletes shatter the supposed limits of human performance, one factor keeps coming up again and again: the concept of “flow.”
Whether you’re an extreme athlete, a weekend warrior, or a dedicated couch potato, you’ve probably had at least one experience of being “in flow,” that hyperfocused state where we get so lost in what we’re doing that we hit peak performance. The concept has been understood for more than a century, although we’ve only known it by that name since the 1980s, when psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined the term and made it the title of a bestselling book.
Even 30 years ago, the business world was trying to figure out how to leverage flow to improve employee performance. What’s changed since then – and it’s a critical change – is that we now have the tools to start understanding the complex science behind the flow state. By extension, these tools can help us figure out how to access it on demand. And that could be a game-changer in the workplace.
