The Not To-Do List

The idea is to list all the activities you are intentionally going to stop doing for the sake of greater productivity.Here’s why this is important. As people succeed at work, they attract more and more assignments. It’s like they become a task magnet. “Give it to Laurie. She’ll to a great job!” The problem is that people are a finite resource. I don’t care how good you are, you only have so much energy and so much time. It’s true for me. It’s true for you.

In his Digital Strangelove, davidgillespie says you are what you share.

Starting a few days ago, I decided to share my gratitude on twitter. This is my way of saying thank you for following me and being a part of my life.

Ironically, I am too embarrassed to tweet this. The romantic side of me is very bashful, perhaps too self-conscious for its own good.

Dear Dia(na|ry)

I smelled your scent again for the first time in years. I didn’t think that memory was still in me. I can no longer recall it at will. It’s understandable that people would die for that kind of scent. Kill for it.

I miss you. I do.

Potential employers like LinkedIn because they can glance at your LinkedIn profile and get a sense of how connected you are and how much money you make. (Yes, large networks correlate to large salaries.) That’s the utility of the scorecard.
