SELF Help: The Only Kind There Is

February 17, 2010

I get sick when I hear the phrase “Take care of yourself so that you can better help others!” It is such utter bunk and BS that my stomach turns. Excuse me while I down the ipecac. It’s not about helping or taking care of others. With the exception of your children, to whom you [...]

The List Is Life (or: Ma’am, step AWAY from the To Do List.)

January 14, 2010

I have a To Do List. Had a To Do List. Unlike many, mine was not actually written on a stark page titled To Do with numbers and lines and arrows. Not for me the paper prison. My To Dos were scattered on tiny purple post-its, in mental notes and calculations, in tweets, and in [...]

Things Entrepreneurship Teaches You (or: OMG Darth Vader’s in that cave!!)

October 29, 2009

I’ve been working on side projects all week instead of what I ought to be working on. Instead of what I’d like to be working on. Why have I been working on side projects all week? Because Darth Vader is in that cave, and I’m scared to go in. If you haven’t seen the original [...]

In Defense of the Snap Decision

October 28, 2009

Snap decisions get a bad rap. If your grandmother was anything like mine, you got the “Now, don’t rush into things” speech at least once a day.

October 26, 2009

I’d been procrastinating over watching Merlin Mann’s latest video. Sure, everyone watched the little 5 minute Merlin Labs bit (“Giant Cock Paper” – heh!), but the other one? Man… 40 minutes of my time! Then I remembered how much time I spent dicking around on Regretsy last night. I watched Merlin’s thing. There are things [...]

Entrepreneur Juice. (or: How Malcolm Gladwell Gave Me My Business Back)

October 19, 2009

All work is creative work if done by a thinking mind. -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged Blah. This week in New York has been nothing but rain. And the greyness of the days has only been matched by the greyness of my small Harlem office as I tapped away at emails and lists of ideas for [...]

5 Gmail Labs Widgets That Will Save You From Yourself

October 7, 2009

We’ve all done this stupid stuff: sent the wrong email to the wrong person, embarrassed ourselves by not attaching the thing we said we were going to attach, or stayed up way too late at night writing emails – and suffered the attendant typos (or even plain incomprehensibility) that comes with that. Fortunately, the crack [...]

Full-Time Entrepreneurship: Day 1

September 29, 2009

I woke up late, of course. I say “of course,” because I’d forgotten to ensure that my alarm clock was actually on before I went to bed. 8:45 already – damn! I laid in bed for a while contemplating the patterns of light and shadow on my ceiling. It took a while to remind myself [...]
