Improve Your Memory in Minutes
I’ve used several memory tricks over the years for such things as remembering grocery lists. I recently came across one that I hadn’t seen before, even though it’s extremely simple. I tried out the method (called “linking”) from a website called buildyourmemory.com and found that I was able to easily memorize a list of 20 items that [...]
The Trap of Perfectionism
I’m recently returned from a week-long conference of study and test-taking in the field of database design (my day-job), and find my mind completely burnt-out by the effort. Rather than wait till I feel especially inspired and creative, I’m going to adapt a lesson from one of my classes.
The class was on “agile” programming. I’ll [...]
Embrace Your Problems
So, I’m at a keynote speech in Las Vegas at a conference about data warehouses. I wasn’t really expecting to find good material for self-improvement here, but Frank Buytendijk, a Dutch management consultant at Oracle, surprised me. The point of his talk was that we Americana have a fear and aversion to “problems” that [...]
The 48 Laws of Power
Today I bring you a very qualified endorsement for a very popular book – The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Greene is basically a modern-day Machiavelli, and his book is about how to acquire and hold onto power, by any means available. I nearly put the book down after reading the preface, with [...]
One Year to an Organized Work Life
One Year to an Organized Work Life by Regina Leeds. I had previously reviewed two other books by Regina Leeds (the “Zen” Organizer) . Those were One Year to an Organized Life and One Year to an Organized Financial Life. Since both were excellent, I was really looking forward to the middle book in the [...]
The Sacrament of Making Your Bed
I was starting to read Regina Leed’s book One Year to an Organized Work Life (which I hope to review soon) and happened on this wonderful little tidbit on why you should make your bed. Now I don’t really have a problem with making the bed. I’m used to it now and it bother’s me [...]
The Most Important Thing – Revisited
A few weeks ago I asked for some feedback here and on several other forums, in a post called “The Most Important Thing”. My question to everyone was, what is the ONE THING you could do, if you could do nothing else, that would have the greatest effect for good on as many areas of [...]
One Year to an Organized Financial Life
Just released in 2010, One Year to an Organized Financial Life is the latest installment from Regina Leeds, the “Zen Organizer”. I’ve previously reviewed her book “One Year to an Organized Life” and found it a refreshing change in the field of organization. This book continues a winning pattern and expands it to an area [...]
Organizing Gift-Giving in a Large Family
Let me share a system we developed this year for organizing gift giving in our family. This system was invented for two reasons:
1. All my children are at an age at which GIVING presents is as much fun as receiving them.
2. Economics are difficult this year. Both myself and my children are operating on very [...]
Getting Things Done
Getting Things Done is the phenomenal best-selling book on organization and time management by David Allen. Among fans of this time and project management system (actually more of a LIFE management system) it is known simply as GTD.
