What to Do When You Don't Feel Like Doing Anything It’s just one of those days, right? You’re sitting there with a big to-do list and no motivation to get started. This happens to all of us from time to time. Such a day can struck with no warning. Sometimes even immediately after a highly productive day. … So now what? First of all, let’s face it, if you don’t feel like doing something you most likely won’t generate any good results… Do you expect a sprinter to win the 100 meter dash at the Olympics if they don’t feel like running? So is there any point in forcing yourself to work only so you can screw it up? However, the fact is (whether you realize it or not) what you’re feeling isn’t really the lack of motivation to do every possible kind of work. I mean, you have your to-do list (or other form of personal work organization tool) with a number of tasks on it, and when you look at them, nothing seems interesting enough to get into. Your favorite kind of tasks We all know that getting started is always the most difficult part. 1. 2. 3.
7 Most Interesting Viral Videos of All Times Instead of spending all my time writing thousands of words worth of explaining each of these videos I thought I would spend more time finding some of the best/interesting/funniest viral videos out there to this date. Some are from ad agencies, some from users optimised by companies. Enjoy! 1. Brick Thief An interesting one to start off the post this one and it is there to show the people of the world just what can be done with a few Lego bricks. 2. This will always be a favourite of mine this is simply because it was around the time the Xbox 360 was first released. 3. Although this campaign was not originally designed for either Coke or Mentos it is something that both took on with open arms when they saw how well it was doing, generating a big increase in sales for both Coca Cola and Mentos and resulting in many a botched test at home I am sure, this video takes the theory to the extreme! 4. 5. 6. 7. 7 Billion

LinkedIn Is Raking in the Moolah Facebook gets all the attention, but LinkedIn has figured out how to turn a social network into a cash machine. And it doesn't even need you to be there to make money inkedIn’s Chief Executive, Jeff Weiner, doesn’t want to talk about Facebook. Weiner draws three concentric circles to show how LinkedIn makes its money. “That’s the bull’s-eye,” he says. Compare this to even three-and-a-half years ago, when Weiner joined LinkedIn. That’s when Weiner’s bull’s-eye emerged. There’s no better way to understand LinkedIn’s quiet savvy, in the midst of Facebook’s noisy clatter, than to compare the two sites’ financial efficiency. One could argue that it’s better to have a small slice of something massive than a big slice of something smaller. These dynamics will get further magnified as the Web goes mobile. To see how that plays out, wander the halls of a conference with Lars Schmidt, head of talent acquisition for NPR. Then a few years ago Vijungco staged a talent-scouting race.
40 Lessons for Finding Strength in Hard Times post written by: Marc Chernoff Sometimes you have to die a little on the inside first in order to be reborn and rise again as a stronger, smarter version of yourself. Nobody gets through life without losing someone they love, someone they need, or something they thought was meant to be. But it is these losses that make us stronger and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. Over the past five years Angel and I have dealt with several hardships, including the sudden death of a sibling, the loss of a best friend to illness, betrayal from a business partner, and an unexpected (breadwinning) employment layoff. These experiences were brutal. Here are some lessons we’ve learned along the way: You are not what happened to you in the past. – No matter how chaotic the past has been, the future is a clean, fresh, wide open slate.

Opinion / Lead : The economist as saviour We were flying to Mumbai where the Prime Minister was to address a gathering of business leaders. I had drafted a speech that he found time to read only on the plane. Half way through the journey he returned the draft with his notes scribbled in the margins. “I have added a quotation from Keynes”, he wrote. “But this is from memory. As soon as we reached Mumbai’s Raj Bhavan I asked the university library for a copy of John Maynard Keynes’s The Economic Consequences of the Peace (first published in 1919). This was October 2006. “If the rich had spent their new wealth on their own enjoyments, the world would long ago have found such a regime intolerable. Prime Minister’s religion Ensuring the “growth of the cake” has been Dr. The clue to Dr. Uninformed commentators in the media often view Keynes only as the doctor who had a medicine for depression. However, among Keynes’s many contributions to economics was his analysis of the role of ‘expectations’. Keynesian or neo-liberal?

Could This Tiny $70 Box Be The Next Mouse? Maybe It’s so rare that technology feels like magic. That first time you sifted through thousands of songs in your pocket or used a touch-screen phone? Forgotten now. In using technology in our daily lives, the impossible is proven, again and again, to be entirely possible, and we grow numb to the magic around us. I only mention this because the Leap certainly looks like one of those magical moments in technology. The company’s use case metaphor? To be honest, every bit of the story sounds too good to be true: From the CTO David Holz, who is just 23 (but has consulted for NASA) to the ridiculously low $70 asking price (on preorder now for release in early 2013). There’s a lot unsaid about how user ergonomics will respond to holding our arms in the air and gesturing all day, and the fact that we still can’t touch the objects we’re manipulating. And already, I can’t help but wonder, what could happen if we aimed Leap at our faces rather than our hands? Pre-order Leap here. [Hat tip: Fast Company]

Machine Scans Twitter For Mentions Of Fruit, Then Turns Them Into Smoothies We tend to think of data in one way: numbers. We can change the fonts, or we can graph them out. Maybe we can even use advanced visualization to make someone really grasp a particular figure. Quite literally, yes it can. “The goal was to break free and think beyond traditional means of data representation and analysis,” the design trio tells Co.Design. Interestingly enough, the 1:1 representation of fruit as flavor wasn’t the project’s original intent. Their literal representation of data is equal parts elegant and brilliant. [Hat tip: FlowingData]
