Two Harvard Professors Reveal Why We Procrastinate. Sometime around 2006, two Harvard professors began to study why we procrastinate.
Why do we avoid doing the things we know we should do, even when it’s clear that they are good for us? To answer this question, the two professors — Todd Rogers and Max Bazerman — conducted a study where participants were asked whether they would agree to enroll in a savings plan that automatically placed two percent of their paycheck in a savings account.
Nearly every participant agreed that saving money was a good idea, but their behavior said otherwise: One version of the question asked participants to enroll in the savings plan as soon as possible. In this scenario, only 30 percent of people said they would agree to enroll in the plan.In another version of the question, participants were asked to enroll in a savings plan in the distant future (like a year from today).

Don’t believe everything you see on TV: hypnosis is less far fetched and far more important.
Channel Nine’s new game show You’re Back in the Room debuted to high ratings on Sunday night.
Based on the British show, the contestants work together to complete challenges for cash. But to make it interesting, they are hypnotised and given increasingly outrageous suggestions to thwart their attempts to complete the challenges. During a musical challenge, for instance, the hypnotist suggests one contestant is a pop star, another is Elvis, a third is an air guitar champion and the fourth loves the show’s host. Goodbye to MBTI, the Fad That Won't Die. My name is Adam Grant, and I am an INTJ.
That’s what I learned from a wildly popular personality test, which is taken by more than 2.5 million people a year, and used by 89 of the Fortune 100 companies. It’s called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and my score means that I’m more introverted than extraverted, intuiting than sensing, thinking than feeling, and judging than perceiving.
As I reflected on the results, I experienced flashes of insight.

By "networking software," I don't mean LinkedIn or Facebook; I mean the actual software that runs networks: SSL, IOS (the Cisco version), whatever OS runs on HP switches, many e-mail servers, and Apache.
In other words, this is the software that makes the LinkedIn kind of networking possible. And it's all inexcusably hard to use. Even for someone who is experienced, this kind of software makes the most basic tasks difficult to do.
