Summary of Seth…and summary of my thoughts

So, here we go, I have been lazy and not read the last 27 Seth blog posts; but I have finally got around to good, clear thinking.  A great one to start:

We get distracted by the large and overwhelming – not necessarily the most important thing. Is this another way of saying “work smarter not harder”?!

Scrimping and saving – if you do it, be clever about it.

Pick your fights…

The thing that is most difficult to embrace in a commercial world is not trying to please everyone – I think Seth is right, but there is a big gap between agreeing with someone and actively doing it!

I love the sentiment here

How do you teach initiative? I wish I knew…

If I have read this right, work should be fun, not a job

Safe is lazy…hear bloody hear

Prizes measure popularity…ditto with knobs on

Most organizations now have it backwards“… enough said

I had completely forgotten about Wordperfect, I guess that is the point!

I like lists - I use Remember the Milk, but I do make my own list.

I am struggling to cope with the ideas I have had since starting Linchpin, some good, some bad, some not thought through fully! I have stopped reading for the moment until the rest of me catches up. Read it, it is fab.

I like Wordoid!

I watch TV. I like spending time with my family. I like work. My view: balance is good. Seth doesn’t watch TV

Quite possibly a different and better version of saying that compromise is bad

This ended up like a blog post of tweets, but in the main, they aren’t my sentiments, so it is always best to read things in their original setting.  Seth is good, really good, but I think that it is what he makes you do that makes him so good. Why just read?!
