I’m selling my soul, are you?

29 ways to stay creative … when you’re training (part 2 of 3)

I came across this great video (see below) from Tofu Design called 29 ways to stay creative.  I really like the title because it assumes you and me are creative to start with, which is my mantra.  Creativity is in our DNA – some of us just have to dig deeper for it if we’ve [...]

Scratch to do lists. What’s on your not to do list?

Chances are if I ask what’s on your to-do list you’ll be able to pull 1 (or 10) out of your Blackberry, IPhone, daytimer and/or nightstand.  Or out of your brain matter if you’re not the scribing type.  Chances are your list is long.  Chances are it weighs you down. What about lightening the load?  [...]

The ‘to-continue’ lists of some very interesting folk

Wondering what this year will bring to your door?  Wondering which paths to embark on and which to pass? Based on a series of posts I did last year on my to-do, to continue doing, to stop doing, not to do, to-done, and to’odle lists, this year I thought I’d ask which particular paths a [...]

Do you recognize this sound? It’s the sound of change

Ahh the sound of change.  A similar clip was played by Graeme Codrington of tomorrowtoday.uk.com at the recent W.I.N. conference in Paris.  While he was playing the clip his 11 year old daughter walked into the room and asked what it was.
