Reclaim Focus, One Day at a Time

Reacting to each request while setting aside time to proactively research and execute new programs is an unrealistic proposition at best, and flat-out unattainable at worst. As Scott discusses in his “reactionary workflow” tip, more think-based tasks end up relegated to the bottom of to-do lists as immediate requests become more and more urgent. A lack of focus is at the root of this problem. Constant shifts mean that no task receives the proper attention. Instead, each is carried out in the most automatic (and quick!)

Some definitions A finite game is played for the purpose of winning; an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.

He's among my personal heroes for thinking about the buyer's side - and doing something about it. Something hopefully radical and, if you're paying attention, really important. He writes about independence, and about providing tools for individuals to manage relationships with organizations. Personal tools for people to collect their own data, control it, share it selectively, assert their own terms of service (TOS), and give them means to express their own demand in the open market. In the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Cluetrain Manifesto he writes about these points and says: base relationship-managing tools on open standards, open APIs (application program interfaces), and open code.

The reason I am excited about this project is because it represents a new area of inquiry for me as well as a chance to deepen my learning in the topics that I've been writing about here on this blog for years. But the best reason of all is a chance to work with other people who are passionate about nonprofits and social media.

The Next Economic Paradigm

We are going about the process of Globalization as if economic growth can precede technological change. This is the singular flaw of market capitalism that needs to be reversed.
