Why Bother Napping? You should nap as often as possible. Once you find time to escape from reality once a day and completely clear your head, you’ll never look back or doubt napping again. At first, committing to this activity may make you feel guilty, but the mental clarity and awareness you gain will change your perspective and give you a balanced, motivated frame of mind. When you find an ideal time in the afternoon or midway through your day to nap, you will realize you are on to something fantastic....

National Vegetarian Month (Infographic)

Just over a month ago, I ran into a friend at a CES event. While I see this friend around town once in a while, this was the first time I’d seen him in a non-casual setting since Blogworld 4 months earlier. After exchanging the usual pleasantries, he asked me an odd question: “Is this like your conference party outfit?” Indeed, I was wearing the exact same clothes I’d worn to the event four months earlier....

One of the biggest reasons for this is our fear of not being interesting enough. We worry that we’re born to be boring and it’s just something inside of us that can hardly be turned around. But what if I tell you that you can easily make friends with others, and that YOU cannot be boring at all? You don’t need to have extraordinary experiences or achievements, you only need to be true to yourself if you want to be interesting....

So the next time you say those three little words, consider digging a little bit deeper. Show and tell the person exactly what your love means.

In a Silicon Valley loft sometime not quite 20 years ago, someone asked a question very much like this and decided they weren’t going to be yet another drudgery-inducing white-washed office complex. As the start-up doctrine kicked into full gear in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with fast growing game-changers like Google and Pixar, soon to be followed by the likes of Zappos, Facebook, ThinkGarden and others, the very idea of what an office could and should be changed....

Luckily, in addition to the top 10 reasons why people don’t reach their goals, I’ve included a quick fix for each of them. So let’s get to it. Top 10 Reasons Why People Don’t Reach Their Goals

Michael has a killer system here, complete with what I’ve come to realize is what was missing with my attempts at using a paper PDA: a way to deal with what’s active (Michael has active tabs- little colorful stickies to bookmark where something needs action). He’s thorough, so be warned. This isn’t just a, “click, oh-that’s-neat, dump” experience. You’re going to want to actually read the whole layout. I think you’ll realize the benefits of doing so immediately, even if you quibble over some of the details....

But, important as good spelling and grammar are, errors can slip through even a reasonable level of editing. Reasonable, by the way, does not mean simply running Spell Check. At the very least, it means reading a document carefully after you’ve finished writing it. It also means that if you can get another person to read over your writing, you should. We always know what we mean when we write, but that doesn’t guarantee that our readers will get the nuances....

Are you still messing with tangled cords when charging your digital devices? You don’t have to with the Qhartz charger. The small pad can add juice back into your mobile device, without the use of cords. The wireless charger also pumps power back into your gadgets 2 times faster. Now that’s impressive! Today’s powerbanks all require one thing that people are trying to avoid, cords. They are prone to getting ripped, tripped on and eventually become the reason you need to get a new charger over time....

It’s no secret, time is our most valued commodity. We’re all given the same number of hours, but it’s up to you when and how you spend them. By choosing to wake up early, you will experience a drastic change in your quality of life. I Get Prepared. Make a habit of going into each day with a list of items you will accomplish. Some say to set these goals the night before....

The point is to trust your system (in this case they are your software and your workflow) – so that your mind will be free and not as stressed. Next, in phase two, I close my RSS reader and head to Firefox. Waiting for me is every single site that I found interesting for that session. This includes personal blogs, security news, world events, etc. I then move from right to left skimming the content of each tab....

Worldwide Wi-Fi Yes, it exists — get online in millions of locations around the world. You can even connect when you are in-flight. From hotels to airports, convention centers to trains; a global Wi-Fi pass means you can keep working when you need to wherever you are without having to even think about roaming charges. Apps That Organize There are a few more apps that will help you keep on top of things: Tripit stores all of your itineraries so you don’t have to rummage through loads of papers or search your emails; everything is easy to find in one place....

My advice if you’d like to expand your career horizons is to join a professional association. Now, I happen to have made my career (so far) working for these critters so I know whereof I speak. The first step is to find an association you’re interested in. If they have stringent admissions criteria you don’t meet, join another one. If one is too expensive, try another. But really benefiting from the association means more than just opening up your checkbook and paying the dues (altho you’ll keep the staff happy that way)....
