I’ve thought a lot (more) about how I operate since reading The 4-Hour Workweek. One big part of my life, and probably everyone’s reading this, is email. It was almost like a game refreshing Gmail, trying to spot the elusive ‘Inbox - (1)‘. I’ve stopped playing that game! I suggest you do, too.
The problem
When you’re [...]

One of the most useful habits I’ve begun is very simple. It’s helped me accomplish more each day. It’s helped me feel accomplished before I go to bed. The best part about this technique? There are only three steps!
1. Create your daily list
I use my BlackBerry Tasks application to dump every single task I think [...]

One of the more annoying traits of being a part-timer (or hourly worker) is the lack of benefits. Now, in most cases you’re not entitled to these benefits because you don’t work hard enough. Economically speaking, I don’t contribute to the company enough [...]

Do you feel like you deserve a little better? Are you not being challenged enough? Well, then perhaps it’s time to move on. Maybe a new boss, different company, perhaps even a new career. Whatever it may be, you know you should change jobs when…

I’ve been an intern at a large company for over a year now. I’ve worked both part-time and full-time. I’ve seen the ins-and-outs, no doubt. That’s why I found this article on CollegeHumor so amusing. Going off to work at a big company after school can be sad, lonely and a waste of everyone’s time.

I have a burning question and I want you all to help me find an answer:
If you could do anything this summer, what would it be and why?
One small caveat, your idea has to take place within 200 miles of your residence and cost under $500. Top 3 Prizes: Your choice of an invite to [...]

Dear Google,
What have you done lately to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful?” Seriously, all I hear about lately is how you’re spending and making lots of money. Where does the information fit in?

It’s cool because it rhymes. So, you might remember my very simple GMail Todo List which I still use daily. What if I don’t want to keep GMail open to see what I need to do? Well, if you have Vista or some sort of desktop widget/gadget you can subscribe to feeds. Luckily, GMail [...]

Actually, I think the title should read more like: “budget your time nearly the same way you should be budgeting your money”. If you know me then you I’m a) an accountant, b) a big fan of personal finance, and c) looking for new ways to be productive. I’ve found a secret I’ll share with [...]

So, I got a little bit of free time and decided to make a quick song dedicated to the new version of WordPress. Colin had the brilliant idea of using Nelly’s song “Air Force Ones’. So, I did this a number of weeks ago thinking I’d have time to make a video. I don’t. So, [...]

My favorite question asked on Tuesday was ’so what did you do this weekend?’ because naturally my non-nonchalant response was ‘put on a 350-plus-person conference’. If you don’t know, Noah Kagan had planned a terrific conference and I had the pleasure of helping out along the way. If you want to know what everyone thought [...]
