Who needs to file the 2026 Resident Tax Business Establishment Portion—and how is it calculated? Review each business establishment as of July 1, prepare lease and floor-area records, and confirm capital or prior-year revenue information. The tax combines a basic amount with a floor-area tax. When taxable total floor area exceeds 330㎡, KRW 250 per ㎡ applies to the entire area. If the advance payment notice is incorrect, submit the corrected details through Witax.

Is YouTube Premium Lite actually the better deal in Korea? It may suit video-focused users, but ad removal and playback features can be limited on music content, Shorts, and search or browse screens. YouTube Music Premium is also not included. Before subscribing, compare the prices shown on the web/Android and iOS sign-up screens. Paying separately for Lite and YouTube Music could cost more than getting regular Premium through the same payment channel. Existing subscribers should also check their billing provider, next payment date, and when a switch to Lite becomes available. #YouTubePremium #YouTubeMusic #TelecomCosts #Membership

Doing several things at once may feel productive, but complex multitasking is usually rapid task-switching. Each switch requires your brain to suppress one set of rules and retrieve another.

Smarter notification settings, fewer unnecessary meetings, clearer messaging norms, and better task assignment can reduce avoidable switching. The article also explains why popular productivity statistics should be checked before being treated as universal facts. #Productivity #SelfManagement #DecisionMaking #GoalAchievement
