Ship it and the power of less.

Two things happened this weekend.
One I filled in this "Ship It" book, I found it on a book shelf while cleaning my house. I was also listening to Leo Babauta "the power of less" (which is number two) as I polished away and was amazed at how many things in the book I am very confident I do. Don't me too impressed there are many I still need to get a grip on!
I always work with a very clear desk, I strive to only look at email twice a day - indeed I am down to just a few - and we eat well. Too much but we eat well.
I am certainly happier as a result of adopting some of his recommendations.
Next was filling in the Ship it book. The idea of the book is that you answer all the questions in the book about your project. It won't save you but it quickly identifies your road blocks and fears. It was delicious to be able to fill it in so fast, I need to go back and fine tube most of it but the joy came in being really fired up about something and ready to confront my shortcomings and be confident about asking for help from the people around me.

Gotta go! Gotta Ship this blog :-)

Engaging People Breaking News

My favourite gin swigging mate let slip that they receive over 160 emails a day - how do you manage that? This horror prompted an urgent blog post on how to unsubscribe and manage what you do. The headline is that if you are getting an email every time something happens on a social network you are reversing the advantage of being on a social network. My infamous unsubscribe email had 40 people email back with electric words of encouragement and another 400 unsubscribed. Of course a chunk of th

Should You Close or Keep Marketing Your Coworking Space Over the Holidays?

The Case for Taking a Holiday Break For coworking space operators in London, December is often a month of tough decisions. With the festive season in full swing, many wonder: “Should we shut down and take a break or keep pushing our marketing and communications to stay visible?” While closing and switching off for the holidays is tempting, there’s a compelling case for staying active — especially in a city where self-employed workers and freelancers rarely switch off entirely. Here’s a break
