Suw Charman wrote on Corante earlier this month that multitasking is as bad as procrastination. Essentially we really all know we can’t truly multitask…
I’m not sure that this is really new news, though. Who, deep down, hasn’t pretty much known that multi-tasking is a con? We’ve known for years about the state of flow, where […]
Nomadishere had this awesome post (lots diggs and comments) with 8 “rules” to keep geeks happy and a follow up that he didn’t mean to say geeks are elitists:

Here’s a great one from Kevin Eikenberry in his post “What Could I Stop Doing?” -
I met with a new friend today. He is the Vice President for Business Development at a bank. He told me he made a decision about six months ago. His decision?

Thanks to Lorraine and her mum for these:
Three Minute Management Course
Lesson 1:

Have the self-confidence to […]
Got this from Chris Pirillo today:
Oh I have so been there. I’ve done it myself, I’ve seen tons of other people do it. Sometimes the cable looks like it’s in, but just isn’t seated all the way. So, take it from Chris and I, check all the cables. Then check them again.

There is an interesting saying out there: the enemy of great is good.
I don’t know about you, but I had a hard time with that saying for a long time. After all, there are few things that anyone can be great at, but quite a few things that each of us can be good at.

One of the most important things you can do to keep your computer, and applications, safe and happy is to keep it updated. Back in the day, when the Internet was young and I was doing tech support, finding updates wasn’t fun or easy. We pretty much had to do a lot of the work […]
One of the things I decided to do for myself the year before last was to attend one of those GTD: Roadmap seminars from David Allen. The place was packed with people from all over the country coming into the seminar — I was fortunate in that I was able to simply take a bus […]
