What’s the number one excuse people give for not pursuing their own awesome personal projects? “I don’t have enough time.” We spend 8-12 hours a day working at the office. When we get home, we barely have enough time to shower, shove dinner into our mouths, catch up on Facebook, before we crawl into bed […]
A friend of mine (Hi Jing!) introduced me to Raptitude, a great blog centered around the idea of experimentation. David, the blogger behind it, conducts little experiments in his own life and posts his observations and conclusions. Some examples of his experiments include: Going 21 days without complaining Establishing meditation as a habit for life
Dear Office Email, It’s time you knew the truth. I hate you. Like smash-you-with-a-baseball-bat-if-you-were-a physical-object kind of hate.Whenever I see you, a fluffy little bunny dies along with a part of my soul. We didn’t use to be like this.

Okay, you’re not the only one who has no freakin idea what those lyrics are supposed to mean (This intellectual forum discussion doesn’t really give me any clue). Oh Ke$ha, you have such impenetrable philosophies. Of course, not many of us get up on a mattress made of cash and surrounded by hot chicks, so

Yeah, I can tell that you’re totally jealous of my ridiculously awesome life of sex, drugs and alcohol. But it all

Soooo it’s mid-Feb. Have you discovered that you’re not keeping to most, or all of your resolutions? I know I have. My resolutions to leave work by 6.30pm and sleep 7 hours a day have fallen flat on their faces. (It’s sad, but despite all my posts on productivity I inevitably get a couple of
It’s TED Thursday again! This week’s TED Talk is one of my favorites – it’s about how we all spend the majority of time at the office, but it’s paradoxically one of the least effective places to do your work in. In the office, we’re constantly bombarded with a flurry of emails, calls, meetings, and
