It has been a pretty busy week around here at Brandswag. Projects have been piling up and there never seems to be enough time… for anything. The past 48 hours have been pretty efficient in terms of business and extremely inefficient in the realm of Social Media. I have been writing posts every day for the better part of a month and yesterday was the first time I have missed in awhile. Truthfully it upsets ...

Photo by Marloes Most people are unexceptional at following up: it sounds obvious, but it shouldn’t be this way, because followup (I spell it as a single word) is key to combining smaller achievements into bigger ones. Actively following up on conversation is also a trait of people who’re successful, focused, and relentless about living their dreams. Lofty yet elegant — and if you excel at followup, you can be sure to incite delight wherever ...

Michael Nielsen has a great post on why open science is failing to take off. His main point is that science was never that open to start with, but thanks to the communication needs of the time and the technology available people developed the peer review system. A system that is now hauting us, while top scientists disregard current technology (mostly web-based) that makes the current system look silly. By the way, Nielsen knows what ...

Seminary involves a LOT of reading. At the beginning of the semester, you typically have more open time. Seize it! Use it to read ahead now, and then when the first wave of papers is due, you won’t be so rushed. There may be some classes you can read ahead in more easily. Look over your assigned reading, and decide which reading will be more challenging and which is more accessible. You may want to ...

The first week of seminary is over, and looming ahead are due dates for reading, papers and tests. You know this because you should have a syllabus for each class, which contains all the assignments you’ll need to complete this semester and their due dates. This is awesome. It’s a time management bonanza. If you take a few moments to plan well, it can make the semester much easier for you. Carpe Diem! Here’s what ...

Just when I thought I had things under control, a whole bunch of you decide to join Friendfeed, and then two people get me on with Rejaw (I like the UI!). I had already joined and didn't even remember. Are things getting out of control here? I'm not a great multi-tasker to begin with. I do know the value of social media and actually enjoy it ... (most of the time :). The time had ...

If I am hard pressed to recommend one and only one tool as THE most essential one in every manager’s tool kit, there is no question for me what it will be. It is the very first tool I teach new supervisors (and any struggling ...

Jott, the voice-to-text program I have blogged about a couple of times, has come out of “beta” (you mean Web 2.0 apps can be something other than “beta”?) and, sadly, is no longer a free service. (You mean Web 2.0 apps aren’t always free?) There will be a “Jott Basic” plan that will remain free, but all it allows you to do is leave voice messages to the online “Jott desktop”; it does not include ...

Just for fun I recently asked Erin, “Now that the kids are in summer school, don’t you think it’s about time you went out and got yourself a job? I hate seeing you wallow in unemployment for so long.” She smiled and said, “Wow. I have been unemployed a really long time. That’s weird… I like it!” Neither of us have had jobs since the ’90s (my only job was in 1992), so we’ve been ...

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. I once asked Po Bronson how he beats writer’s block. His answer was “write about what makes you angry.” It works like a charm. If I had writer’s block, this quote from a recent Entrepreneur magazine blog post would surely make the words flow like water. What follows is an example of guru fatigue and an overview of some misconceptions and principles of Bit Literacy vs. Getting Things ...

Image via Wikipedia The problem with a lot of inspirational help is that it’s not always actionable. There’s nothing wrong with a dose of “cheerleader ra ra” once in awhile, but without a way to use that inspiration constructively it’s often forgotten.After attending The Power Within I was struck with the inspiration bug, but wanted to take what I learned and experienced there and put it into a to-do list that everyone could use.

I think if we all put together a list, it’s going to be easy to identify these troublemakers and avoid them. Actually, a better question would be what are the activities that get the most bang for your time, but they may vary a lot from discipline to discipline. Straightforward application of Pareto’s principle should go a long way. By the way, is any of you keeping any kind of log of where your time ...

Lately, I’ve been simultaneously using less and less of what I learned in school while discovering more and more skills that are vital to success which were never even offered in school! If I were to be 100% honest, probably the most valuable skill I learned in college was how to talk to girls (certainly a vital skill for happiness and success, but not what I was there to learn). The economics classes? Nope, mostly ...

The September/October 2005 issue of The Futurist examines Americans’ use of time. According to the article, the common perception that there just isn’t enough time isn’t supported by the stats from a national study using time-diaries. Basically, the findings show that Americans average 35 hours per week of work time and 35 hours per week of free time. This is much more time than what most Americans perceive. One of the reasons people feel like ...
