Marketing expert Seth Godin has written and said that one should resolve to change three things as a result of reading a business book; the reader will find many lessons in Waitzkin’s volume. Waitzkin has a list of principles that appear throughout the book, but it isn’t always clear exactly what the principles are and how they tie together. This doesn’t really hurt the book’s readability, though, and it is at best a minor inconvenience....

Just like any other business relationship, the key is to manage it with as much respect as you can muster.

Before you tell them that you want to break up, start asking yourself some hard questions about why you want the relationship to end. After you know the answers, it will be easier to tell your mentor honestly why you think you both should go your separate ways....

It’s common to hear adults talking about how stressed or overwhelmed they are, but do we hear from our children how they feel? Research finds that between 8 and 10% of North American children are seriously troubled by stress. I’ll never forget a class meeting I shared with my students some 6 years ago. The students were discussing their feelings and all but 1 boy said, “I’m so stressed!” They were 8 and 9 years old....

Unless you had back problems before you got pregnant, the symptoms are likely to lessen before giving birth. After the pregnancy they should desist entirely....
I mentioned before that I don’t use contexts as recommended by David Allen. However, there are two kinds of lists he recommends that I do use, and get a ton of use from. These are the “Someday/Maybe” list and the “Waiting For” list. Did you ever think that someday…? The Someday/Maybe list is a catch-all for all your crazy ideas and whacked-out plans that you just don’t have time to pursue today....
I’m a lot like Obama. Well, now I think about it, I’m not that much like him. In fact, about the only 2 things we have in common is our love for good pizza and being big fans of Spiderman. I’ve been a superhero nut forever, and just love the fact that Obama is too. As far as I’m concerned, that means he understands some fundamental principles about life and courage –...
Really, isn’t wisdom why we are all here? If wisdom is looking beyond individual things and seeing larger trends, then people on this website can see that their life is made up of all the little habits and traits that make them so individual. Crafting a better life is all about focusing on those small things and hacking them to create a larger effect further on in time. Here are six uses of this skill of looking beyond the near and the obvious....
Managers have a spectrum of tools for getting employees to do what needs doing. All too often, managers lean on authority – direction, intimidations, bullying – which inspires nobody. When directed and not inspired, employees will work the minimum number of hours and make the least amount of effort required to keep their jobs. Conversely, an inspired employee can’t wait to get to work, will be highly motivated, infinitely creative, and work until the task is done very well....
It made me think about it, and start researching about bedroom improvement, and the impact it has on our lives. A bedroom should be a relaxing environment, arranged in a practical manner, making it a perfect sanctuary of your own. Shouldn’t you deserve to sleep in an environment that contributes to sweet dreams and relaxation? A bad layout and old, somewhat-comfortable furniture won’t make you feel rested and full of energy – often it might be the opposite....

Blinklink is the disappearing, self-destructing link generator used to post images to Twitter. Developer and Thiel Fellow Clay Allsopp rigged the blink to vanish after it’s reached the maximum number of views. As the number of clicks tick up, the number of remaining views counts down. But, there’s a catch – You can opt to have your photo revived if someone new tweets the link. Allsopp noted that this social experiment was intended to see if or how people would use disappearing content on the web....
Bring Something– One thing that really gets any new idea moving is pre-loading the first meetings with an idea. If you’re going to brainstorm a new business, don’t come completely open and empty. Bring a starter concept. If you’re thinking of starting a stationary store, have an idea what you might do to differentiate yourself from the bulk office supply store. It’s a starter idea. It doesn’t have to be the final idea....
Ryan Dube of MakeUseOf recently posted an article describing a unique Windows 8 theme you can install over Windows 7. This theme, called the Windows 8 Transformation Pack, allows you to install a pseudo Start screen complete with bundled apps, modern Chrome and a Charms bar if you want it. It doesn’t exactly work like Windows 8, you don’t have the ability to download apps from the Store and you can’t customize the tiles as you can in Windows 8, but it’s a great option if you want the look without the upgrade....
