Well, it looks like we’ve had another successful Free For All Friday! My thanks go to all the contributors for their posts–be sure to check ‘em. The ‘freeforall‘ category will get you what you need, including those posts from the previous edition of Free For All Friday.
I think we might’ve had a slightly reduced involvement […]

How can you transform yourself from an “always late” goof to an “always on-time” hero?
1. Expect delays en route. There WILL be an 18-wheeler overturned on the other side of the highway that will cause everyone on your side to slow […]

Growing up, I was crazy about two things: sports and technology. So when I found a job posting to go work at ESPN.com, I stayed up for several weeks perfecting a website demonstrating why I was the perfect candidate for the job. Interviewing there was awesome–everybody […]

Thanks for the opportunity, Brendon.
I am a big believer in the importance of paying attention to details. Unfortunately, people often judge us so harshly for a spelling error that they are unable to see through it to the value of our content. As we start this new […]

Recently, Lisa Haneberg wrote a post about iridescence:
“Iridescence is an optical phenomenon in which hue changes according to the angle from which the surface is viewed. Iridescence is caused by multiple reflections from multi-layered, semi-transparent surfaces. Some wavelength frequencies reflect and some are absorbed and each layer creates a […]
The importance of grammar in email correspondence with clients and potential clients.
I’m feeling super community-oriented today, so let’s all write blog posts together, k? I declare today the second Free For All Friday. That means that anyone can post to Slacker Manager. I’ve done this once before, and that post still tells the story pretty well. Here are the basic rules, such as they are, in […]
More messing around with online gizmos. I tried out MyBlogLog a long while ago, but ditched it because, back then at least, it was just another tracking thingy, but with an annoying feature that made rollover text on outgoing links. I’ve revisited it today and it’s a lot different. Still does the tracking thing and […]

John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber have produced a really fun little book that contains a wealth of wisdom and insight. Our Iceberg Is Melting is an easy, quick read–I devoured it while eating a plate of teriyaki penguin chicken!
The book is about change management and the basic storyline is that there are a bunch of […]
This is one of the Principles of the Slacker@Work that I mentioned here. This is the a tough one for a lot of Slackers@Work because their gut instinct is to find the easier, faster way. As in the tagline of this very site, “the path of least resistance” is what we’re looking for. That should […]
Thanks to the several readers who’ve written to let me know about the current RSS crap-out. This seems to happen occasionally, and no solution has worked twice. I’m particularly mystified this time, but I’ll keep on flipping switches and turning knobs until the power comes back on. Sorry ’bout the interruption, but of course if […]
I’ve been thinking lately about what overarching ideas guide folks like us (you know, smart people who want to do good work, but only when it’s good work we want to do). I’ve examined my own ways and I think I’ve isolated 15 16 (how convenient!) principles that I tend to follow. I’ll list them […]
