It’s Never Too Late (Or, It’s Always Too Late, So Stop Worrying About it Already)

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Here’s the thing: That guy over there already wrote the post you were thinking about. Someone applied for that job, registered that domain, reached out to that influencer, entered that contest, landed that client, invented that product, wrote that book.
So what?
Revelation
I have just realized that, for some reason, I am always having the same revelations.

Want to Be a Better Blogger? Treat it Like the Job it Is

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

The challenges of holding down a full time gig while maintaining a professional presence are no small feat. In fact, in reality, it’s more like holding down two jobs, although one may not pay the same way the other does (if at all). Being a successful blogger requires time, creativity, and consistency. And if you’re [...]

Avoiding the Danger of New

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

So, in case you haven’t noticed yet, it’s the new year. I rang it in with a box of tissues and some zinc and vitamin c, fighting whatever illness I’ve somehow caught.

LRS Classics: Multitasking vs. Time Management: What’s the best way to get things done?

Friday, July 13th, 2007

As I start writing this post, I’m also brainstorming, talking to a friend, adding to my to-do list, outlining a project, remembering what groceries I need to pick up and eating lunch. Chances are, I’ll finish this post later, while I’m watching the news or catching up with my sister or a friend on the [...]

LRS Classics: The Power of Now: What Sets Gen Y Apart

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

It seems like the more I read, the more I see people my age blogging about work, careers and how we’ll face the challenges and opportunities we know are coming. As a part of the conversation myself, I’ve been very interested in how workers in different generations view this topic of our generation. Today, over [...]
