Organize IT recap for 13th June 2008.
- Still collecting productivity tips from you all! Already had some very good contributions so keep them coming. I intend to bring them together and publish a big compilation in the near future so keep an eye out for it.
- When I shared this link about six work myths with a few people, it caused a stir. Many questioned the validity of some points, while others thought the article was just downright wrong. One particular point regarding the myth of working hard got a lot of focus. The article claims that in actuality you will only get rewarded if you’re likable. My favorite remark was how if you really want to be happy, you need solid personal relationships and a job that doesn’t interfere with you enjoying them. Agree/disagree?
- When does your healthy eating plan go awry? Dieting is a 24/7 habit and there are seven points during the day when it easy for all your dieting efforts to go down the drain. It then goes into detail on how you can overcome these hurdles. I found this article particularly good because it takes a look at dealing with the obstacles in your way, something I have discussed at length in the past, especially in regards to building habits. The points are applicable regardless of whether you are trying to diet or build some other habit.

Looking forward to your compilation!
I wholeheartedly agree that hard work bears little fruit without the right relationships.
Raw brain power is nothing without imagination and creativity, not to mention hard work.
Whenever I drink alcohol, my diet is in danger. Somehow, I never seem to feel too full!

I’ll second Shanel here. I am looking forward to the compilation very much.
Raw brain power is good but knowing how to use and organize it is even better. Hard work hasn’t killed anyone, but I’d choose to work smart than to work hard (one of the reasons I actually quit my job).
My eating habits are a taboo topic to me!

Smarter working all the way!
