4 FOR 1 – STP041

Episode 41 - Four ideas and suggestions for the price of one episode! And, of course, that price is ZERO pence, cents, yen, euro etc...

Some of the USEFUL stuff in there is:



• Before we hit the subjects, a simple plea asking for your help - if you like what we do, please tell one friend who you think would also like what we do
• ONE: A great blog we found at lifehacker.com from Michelle Woo
• Michelle suggests we should split our to-do list into 2:
• A simple list
• A hard list
• She goes on to explain why paying attention to your biological rhythms can help you get more done
• Backed up by people such as Molly Crockett and Dan pink
• The full article by Michelle Woo is here
• The funny one at Buzzfeed (ketchup for bookmarks)
• TWO:  Evernote have a smashing podcast
• The episode we spotlight is one featuring Michael Hyatt and Marvell Allen
• Marvell talks about how influence is not limited to managers
• How do people who work in organisations have as much influence on business
• She also helps us deal with difficult managers
• Evernote podcast link here
• THREE: I found a blog from success.com which was really inspiring
• Jim Rohn is quoted talking about his views on 'value' versus 'valuables'
• It takes a bit of reading - but it's worth your attention
• Success must be attracted and not pursued - Jim Rohn
• FOUR: Finally, the amazing Daniel Pink (author of Drive) held a Ted Talk in 2009
• He makes a compelling case for thinking more carefully about using incentives
• Instinctively you might think that if you offer an incentive, people will do better
• But you would be wrong
• To find out more - watch this super talk
• And if he convinces you - buy a copy of Drive and find out how you can make it work for you

We have got a VERY special episode next time - I'll keep you in suspense, but if you've planned to get a creative project off the ground, it will be well worth your while checking in.
