Should you need more water than you are ingesting, the bottle will glow. The bottle is also doing exceptionally well on Kickstarter right now. The campaign blew past its original $35,000 goal in just one day and is now just over $45,000, with 41 days to go. There are quite a few other “smart” water bottles out there – the Trago smart bottle is running a concurrent Kickstarter campaign but hasn’t even topped the $10,000 mark – despite being a staff pick.

Get Started on Your Dream: Clear the 5 Most Daunting Hurdles

I would never have known what it means to be financially independent, to go after my passions, and to be true to myself. Until then, I had only wished to have a career—to go to a big city, live independently, and explore my identity. But those were merely daydreams.

The 5 Reasons You Should Set Big Goals

So it’s very common for people to turn their attention to setting new goals, and plans to improve their life this time of year. Personally, I advocate the “continual goal setting” method, so that whenever an old goal is completed, we have already started a series of new ones. However, if you are using the start of the new year as a measuring point to kickstart your life or business and make life more fulfilling, that is fantastic, and you’ve come to the right place.

In this article it’s my intention to make the case for “setting big goals”, and giving five specific reasons why setting big goals is worthwhile.

The Ideal Praise-to-Criticism Ratio. Which is more effective in improving team performance: using positive feedback to let people know when they’re doing well, or offering constructive comments to help them when they’re off track?

The Ideal Praise-to-Criticism Ratio

New research suggests that this is a trick question. The answer, as one might intuitively expect, is that both are important. But the real question is — in what proportion? The research, conducted by academic Emily Heaphy and consultant Marcial Losada, examined the effectiveness of 60 strategic-business-unit leadership teams at a large information-processing company. “Effectiveness” was measured according to financial performance, customer satisfaction ratings, and 360-degree feedback ratings of the team members.
