Productivity

Failure + Time. The Inches Are All Around Us

It is scary the inches between thought and action. I mean it has never been a strong point for me but now I have fine tuned how I track things and I am it scares me how often things just miss the ship point. I often talk about how nice the 48 people were who lent their insight to my "Bernie Superpower questionnaire" (inspired by Christina Canters) - the part that I glossed over and has come up from more than one person I have collaborated with is about - my reliability. One sentence stopped m

90 Days of Massive Action #2 (Prequel)

Mandela was pacing the room, he was forced to walk in circles around the small conference table in the middle of the meeting room at 90 Mainyard. Ghandi was drawing on the white board in between a mind map the developers had left and the business canvas the musicians had left, to Mandela's annoyance Ghandi was making faces and animals. Nelson, this one could be a swastika if I rubbed out the number 2 said Ghandi with a cheeky smile. Why are you so annoyed today? It is not good for your brand i

Getting it all in.

As #Babybernie has grown up I have shouted "focus" at him when he was doing things like learning to eat with a fork for the first time or was holding onto the sofa to try and walk. This killer comedy line has come back to bite me in the arse. The arse bite happened at the Rural Hub in Italy at the OuiShare summit, every time I was presenting a project or suggesting something in front of the community - yes in those precious moments when everyone is obligated to at least look like they were lis

Rescue Me

So when in doubt write. Somewhere I lost my rhythm today. I think I lost my rhythm sometime on Saturday night. I was heading for a good nights sleep and woke up Sunday feeling like I'd been in a drinking competition and lost. The main spanner in the works is that I do my best work in the morning and then fade off in the afternoon. I can leap out of bed at 6am and then by the time I get to 3pm (now) I am either falling asleep or just can't focus. Even though I have a well thought out list in T

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #27

It's NIL until you ship it. I am not going to be looking back at these last 27 or so days and thinking 'that was the best work of my life' but I am going to be able to spot where the contributions are to what will happen in the future. I was lounging around on my desk at 90 Mainyard pontificating about blogging and inbound marketing - again. Poor Nils, the super smart developer lead who sits next to me. He patiently listens to y semi-insightful drivel everyday and then goes back to his code a

Top Ten Intern Tips

What do you want Maria to leave with? Tomorrow the @90mainyard crew, #supercoolwife and #babybernie say goodbye to Maria, her next stop is Stockholm to hang with the Bassett Hounds and Jon Buscall to do some grown up work. It has been a joy introducing Maria to people here in London and Liverpool, we were lucky that so many good things like Ouishare Events, Echo Event, Mark Shafer and the Pitch Day for National Business Awards with HRH Duke of York happened in the week she was here!

Your connected eco system

Here are 10 links to app and other resources that will impact how you work. All of these things use and apply myself! Citrix talk from Engaging People

Hells Teeth! I should have told you this sooner...

One of the best-kept secrets to being connected is co-working, the next best-kept secret is your tribe. I have found getting out of your "space" to co-work is brilliant for both your productivity and your soul. This is whether you work for a big shiny corporate or are a freelancer like me. In their respective books Mitch Joel and Lisa Gansky, who are way smarter than me talk about the “friction” and “collision” of ideas between people that end up being called things like “Kickstarter” “Ai

Asana and Nimble

I am loving being an early-ish adopter. I certainly was not first but I am hanging in there even though not everything is perfect yet. I could jump onto a suite of salesforce.com products that do all of this but I am loving Asana for projects and Nimble for CRM - really social CRM. The only thing that is lacking in both is a state of the art mobile app, they are coming, then they are coming and when they get here.... I spend a lot of time on the go at events and travelling, I work on tube
