Confessions: Are you among the tech addicted?

A few weeks ago at a party of Mark Silver’s, I met Leif Hansen of SparkNW and I just knew I had to feature him on the blog.
But what I didn’t realize is that I really, really need to attend his program, Soul Tech.

Ergonomics 3: Break with routine

Organize by doing what you naturally do best

(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - Last week, I watched this interview of Virgin’s Richard Branson which is from TED Talks series (highly recommended). It’s taken me a whole week to make sense of Branson’s ideology and how it relates to the organized office. It’s that good.
