So, you come to this blog and expect Scot and I to have pithy words of pimpiness for you everyday, then I drop off the face of the planet. What happened? Snow. Lots of snow (for Southern BC 10 in / 25 cm at least). When you live in a semi-rural area, on an Island, […]
CBS Sunday Morning does this thing every once in a while where they go looking for the “good” things in the newspapers across the country so they can report on them.
It takes them quite a while to find the good stuff. In a perfect Tivo world, I watched Sunday morning last night — Wednesday […]
b5media has launched round two of business blogs that are part of the network, as is Pimp Your Work.
This is very exciting for us here at Pimp Your Work as the business blogs come on line. Great information in specific areas to help a broad range of people in their work.
The official announcement from the […]
Are you overworked? I mean really overworked, not just saying you are overworked? How can you tell?
If you are really overworked, there tends to be three main coping mechanisms used by people to compensate:

Compartmentalize. You make lists, check them twice, and then start doing one […]
We love to read as well as write here at PYW. Often, we write about what other people are saying and extend the conversation. Other times we just wish we wrote the article in the first place and can do nothing but provide great kudos to our fellow business bloggers.

Okay this might be old news, but hey it’s still good news. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Basecamp. Recently Basecamp announced a slew of new tools that use the Basecamp API. I’ve checked out the list, but haven’t tried them out yet. However, some of these look like awesome ad-ons for […]
Do you believe your Company’s Mission statement? How about your department’s Mission Statement? If you don’t, there are some very good reasons why. We’ve talked about Mission Statements being all the same and have identified five characteristics of good Mission Statements.
But the Pimps here at PYW look for the pitfalls as well. Mission Statements can […]
I’m really new to the whole GTD concept (so does this mean I’m NGTD … not getting things done?), but I know enough that when I see David Allen mentioned my attention shifts. Still on the docket to listen to, but 43 Folders has an interview with David Allen on why GTD just works and […]
In keeping with my recent post about business travel pimps, Om Malik posted some links to the WiFi guide at Travelpost. I checked out the U.S. airport and hotel lists (I noticed that Portland’s airport isn’t on the list and I know that it has free WiFi) and was pretty surprised, pleasantly, that many hotels […]
In my last post I talked about ITSecurity’s 99 e-mail tips. While reading it, three tips caught my eye:
88. Encrypt emails. Never send important/ private information by email unless you have encrypted it. And even then, think twice before sending it. Also keep in mind that certain forms of encryption may be illegal in your […]
