Meetings can suck your time and your life. But… that is still also one of the best way we know to actually coordinate with each other and make sure agreements flows into an organisation. Yet, when you call for a meeting you can still make sure your time will be well used by creating a frame within which the conversation will happen. What do you need this meeting for?

Here are three myths about WordPress that really annoy the sh*t out of me because they are just so outrageously outdated and so misinformed that it 100% piss me off to still hear such BS said in meetings – especially when it comes from the IT guy in a company. However, I know it is counter-productive to shout at people for things they do not know, especially when they act out of lack of knowledge and are just repeating what some other uninformed person told them – so I thought it would be better for me to write about it and email it calmly to people (while pressing that “Send” button with rage…)...

Yes, procrastination sucks, but it is part of life, stop complaining about it and do something about it. Here are some tips I am using myself or have used at some point and have helped me along the way. Start somewhere with a schedule for your days with objectives Achieving your goals assumes you have defined some, and if your day is not going as you want, probably worth thinking what was that you wanted on the first place, what were you goals for the day, and what did you plan to achieve that you didn’t do....

“It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.” “Get mad, then get over it.” “Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.” “It can be done.” “Be careful what you choose: You may get it.” “Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.” “You can’t make someone else’s decisions. You shouldn’t let someone else make yours....

Communication is at the heart of human relationships. Human relationships is what allow us to build a common future. If you want to change this common future you need to learn how to communicate about the future you want and why it should matter to others humans. If they know why it matters, they will be more encline to listen how to get there. Then, you will be able to tell them what to do to make this a reality....

I stumbled upon this video the other day. Some ex navy seal guy, they do army-style training programs for people who like to get their butt kicked. But also, they happen to have very good content on psychology of motivation (which actually make sense given what they do as a job.) The following video is about the reasons behind lack of motivation, lazy-style, I’ll do it tomorrow approach. TL;DW: Lazy is incompetence-driven....
