Seth Godin is releas­ing a new book at the end of the sum­mer enti­tled Small is the New Big — also the title of one of Seth’s best posts. The book will be a col­lec­tion of some of the best rants and obser­va­tions posted over the last few years on Seth’s blog, one of the […]

5ives is an enter­tain­ing site updated some­what spo­rad­i­cally by Mer­lin Mann, also of 43 fold­ers.  It con­sists of lists of 5 things related to a topic.  He recently posted a list of 5 decid­edly un-super super­groups– a per­fect assess­ment in my book.  I fre­quently find myself laugh­ing at these lists, and thought you might enjoy […]

Thanks to Adrants for point­ing me to this gem from White Cas­tle.  In their lat­est mar­ket­ing push, White Cas­tle is encour­ag­ing peo­ple to take the day after the Super­bowl off of work– cre­at­ing a new de facto hol­i­day.  You can even sign a peti­tion to legit­imize the day.  Take it from me, if you sit […]

KNOWING YOUR COMMITMENTS CREATES BETTER CHOICES OF NEW ONES. Life is often painted as a strug­gle between those who crave free­dom and those who crave struc­ture. There is a need for both, and they can actu­ally feed each other. Ide­ally time man­age­ment involves two con­cepts: con­cen­tra­tion and coop­er­a­tion.  With a con­stant bar­rage of e-mails, phone calls, […]
