What Will You Do Today to Double Productivity?

July 20, 2009 by Liz

How Can You Get Someone Else Working Too?

Invigoration happens when we accomplish something.
Invirgoration is even bigger when we accomplish something that’s been nagging us because it needs to go somewhere.

Take a look on your desk, on your to-do list … Is there something that if you just do it someone else can be taking it to the next step?

One best way to be productive is to find the thing we can accomplish and pass on for the next person to work on. Then while we’re working on our second task, that person can be working on what we just passed on. I call that double productivity.

What will you do today to double your productivity … even for just a few minutes?

Are You Overwhelmed by Internet ADD? What to Do …

July 13, 2009 by Liz

Everyone Else Is Doing So Much More

Do you see everyone around you getting where you want to be and wonder why you’re standing still? Have you given yourself over to that new generation of Internet ADD … ADOS – AD oh Shiny!! ?

The answer is inside yourself and in what you’re not doing.

Talk and move. That’s what every person with a success story has done to achieve it. Only two things — talk and move. It’s the essence of doing.

Want to get somewhere? Do something.

What will you do today to build your success story?

How Do You Keep Negative Comments from Turning You Around?

July 7, 2009 by Liz

Sometimes It’s Semantics …

Who hasn’t had the joyous experience of a negative comment? We overhear them around the corner, confront them in conversation, and find them written boldly on our blogs. It helps to remember that they’re often more about the person talking … what that person heard, misheard, or never listened to from the start.

It helps a lot if we don’t make such things about ourselves.

A friend asked me once how I handled negative comments on my blog. My first sentence was, “Well I’m a saloonkeeper’s daughter and I used to teach first grade …” I had no idea how that sounded until she laughed out loud.

How do you keep negative words from turning you around?

Get your own dose of education through YouTube’s new sub-site, YouTube EDU, which aggregates thousands of free lectures from universities like MIT, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. With more than 200 full courses currently available through the site, you now have no excuse for not being familiar with quantum mechanics or the math behind Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Check it out: www.youtube.com/edu

If you have used it, what do you think? What did you learn?

Crowdsourcing at SOBCon

March 25, 2009 by SOBCon Authors

Here is a short video that has a little more information on the crowdsourcing project that I mentioned previously. It is a group-sketchnotes project based on Mike Rohde’s sketchnotes from SXSW.


Please share your thoughts in the Comments.

Crowdsourcing the SOBCon Secret Project

March 24, 2009 by SOBCon Authors

I have been looking at this for hours:

Mike Rodhe made these sketchnotes at SXSW last week and they are fantastic. I have been thinking about doing something like this for SOBCon because I am a big notebook freak. But I can’t draw so well…

So I am going to ask you all to help with this little project. On Sunday the Lovely Bride TM and I went to Boston for a trade show and I stopped by the Levenger store to pick up some supplies for this “secret project“. I am looking forward to seeing what the attendees put together.

If you have any ideas on how to make this better, please let me know (contact form).
