How to bend time to your will and destroy barriers to productivity. Okay, that title's a bit dramatic, but I've had a lot of coffee this morning, and that's just what popped out.

How to bend time to your will and destroy barriers to productivity

On topic: I’ve been meaning to write a little about the Pomodoro technique, and a post by Dave Caolo motivated me to finally do it. I agree with Dave: it’s gimmicky, but It works because I can concentrate for 25 minutes easily, and enjoy the regular permission to goof off. It’s effective for me and that’s what counts. I see the Pomodoro technique as a kind of “plug in” for GTD. By working in little 25-minute time bundles, you can turn your focus into a sharp, persistent chisel capable of dislodging some pretty significant barriers in your project (life?). I find the Pomodoro technique particularly useful for. How to Get Buy-In for NEW IDEAS. The Next Microsoft. SE@M'11 - International Workshop on Search and Exchange of e-le@rning Materials.

It is a reflection of a command and control style of leadership where orders are issued at the top and followed by the ranks. People lower down the organization who have great ideas can feel inhibited about promoting them. They feel it is disrespectful to challenge the command chain. Most modern businesses try to overcome this with open communication and employee empowerment. But there is a more radical alternative – destroy the hierarchy altogether. Oticon, the innovative Danish hearing-aid manufacturer, broke the conventions of corporate structure when it tore up the hierarchy and created what became known as a ‘spaghetti organization’.

Another celebrated example of this approach is W L Gore & Associates, manufacturer of the world famous GORE-TEX® fabric. Www.formations-infopromotions.com/documents/plaquette-elearning-2011.pdf.

The Trivialities and Transcendence of Kickstarter

But this time something occurred to me: What about that Kickstarter thing? Kickstarter has been around online for just over two years, and various artists, filmmakers, musicians, writers and designers have used the site to raise more than $75 million for 10,626 “creative projects,” to use Kickstarter’s preferred term. That money has come from 813,205 “backers” — individuals making mostly modest contributions (the most common is $25) to support specific efforts.

The selling point of “crowd-funding,” as this phenomenon has come to be called, is that it is an alternative to the wealthy patron or the grant-giving foundation. So what kind of “creative projects” does Kickstarter enable? It wasn’t until much later that I met the people who created the company and figured out how it works. “I’m not so sure about this,” Strickler, 32, recalls thinking. ARTILECT - FABLAB TOULOUSE.

Tel est la base de ma réflexion. En effet, un objet doit pouvoir être attrayant physiquement, avoir une bonne fonctionnalité et offrir l’ergonomie recherchée par l’utilisateur. Cependant il est très difficile de remplir ces conditions en même temps. Et pour m’en apercevoir, j’ai décidé de faire une étude de cas sur un objet bien spécifique : la chaise que vous êtes en train de regarder ! Pourquoi la chaise ? Mais est-ce que les utilisateurs comprennent correctement les fonctionnalités évolutives ou ne les détournent-ils pas à leur façon ?
