1. How to keeep your focus, productivity & consistency.. The Key To Consistent Creativity and Productivity
How long can you concentrate and focus on one thing before your energy and attention begins to falter? How long does it take you to engage in a particular thing to make the effort of engagement worth it?
The answers to those two questions make up (what I’m calling) your engagement threshold, and figuring out your engagement threshold is probably the most important thing you can do to become more consistently creative and productive.
2. Probably every brand creator asks or was asking himself this… Which are the 5 reasons why other people will spread your personal brand
I was part of a panel (with Claire Celsi, Nathan T. Wright & Dr. David Bulla) talking to journalists about personal branding this morning.
Part of my message was that it’s fine and dandy to have a personal brand…but one of the keys to its success is in how you share your brand with the world. I used the analogy of a dandelion.
Once you figure out what your personal brand is all about….you hold it out to the world, like a dandelion.
3. I really don’t like wasting time sorting my emails, so I found these Tricks for capturing Waiting For emails
One of the key buckets in your GTD system is Waiting For. So what’s the biggest creator of Waiting For? Sent emails. Sure, you could slog through your Sent folder for which ones you actually need to make sure to track, but that’s like searching for a contact lens on the beach. Good luck having that be a trusted and efficient system.
