1.If you ever wonder”  What is or isn’t a project?” then you should read this article.

I’m confused about (and I’m sure you are extremely bored with this question, but from the books I couldn’t work out the answer) – how do you size projects?  I’m continually having problems working out what is or isn’t a project – and getting lost in the confusion.

2.I one way or another, we all have this problem, of undervaluating  Why You’re Undervaluing Yourself (And How to Stop).

Do you feel uncomfortable charging for your creativity? Maybe you’re an illustrator – you draw because you love to, but you can’t bring yourself to ask people to pay fifty dollars for something which, to you, seems like a glorified doodle. Perhaps you’re a writer and you can’t understand why anyone would pay you fifty dollars or more for a blog post. Or you’re a coach, a programmer, a graphic designer, a cake decorator, a social media expert…

Whatever it is you do (or want to do), there are a couple of things you should know:

  • You are good at this – even if that statement causes knee-jerk resistance
  • There are a lot of people who cannot do what you do and who are more than happy to pay you

3. At some point, when we have a business, and we really want it to work we start to think on how to be (more) productive.  6 Productivity Principles to Live By (My Personal Productivity Manifesto)

Here are six principles I strive to live by. This is my own “personal productivity manifesto”: it summarizes what works for me about personal productivity.

Whenever I follow these guidelines, I am at my very best, feeling productive and joyful. If I feel that I am doing things outside these guidelines, I know I can refer to them and quickly get back on track.

Since these principles work so well for me, I figured they might work for you, too.

4.For the ending of this “Daily Links”, I saved something funny for all you twitters:). So, do you think you tweet too much? Read this, and leave me your result! 5 Signs You Tweet Too Much.

I’ve noticed people I enjoy following are worried that they’re tweeting too much.  And since I can’t just say tweet on, friend, because that’s alarmingly creepy and nobody says tweet on, friend, I will craft a handy list of signs so you know if you’re tweeting too much.

If you do these things, you tweet too much.
