These are some ideas I talk about in my Time Management training sessions. Try to approach each of them and develop in a new habit, in order to increase your productivity and manage your time better. Don't forget to share if you find them useful!
The document discusses things that one should never stop doing like searching, spring cleaning, and asking questions. It provides tips on passion, purpose, problems to solve, and spending time on hobbies and with good friends. It also advises cleaning out toxic social media friends and emails. The document cautions that no one can truly prepare for the future and to trust no one's predictions, instead favoring predictions from movies. Ultimately, it says to trust yourself.
Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.
This is the first SlideShare adaption of Timothy E. Johansson's 100 Growth Hacks in 100 Days. The growth hacks that's included in the slide are 1 to 10. Timothy is the front-end developer at UserApp (www.userapp.io).
This document summarizes the key findings of a study conducted by Newsworks and PwC on attention to different media types. The study found that traditional print and broadcast media receive more focused attention from consumers compared to digital media. Specifically, newspaper readers were more likely to regularly set time aside for newspapers, feel personally connected to them, and trust their content more than most other media. The sustained attention received made newspaper readers more likely to discuss issues they read about and be influenced regarding purchases. Overall, the study showed that traditional media with higher attention levels can have a more powerful impact on consumers than digital media with less focused attention.

If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.

Productivity Facts Every Employee Should KnowRobert Half
Tuesday is consistently found to be the most productive day of the week for employees according to multiple surveys of HR managers and executives over several decades. Employees are generally least productive between 4-6pm and the week before a major holiday. Taking vacations can boost productivity as employees tend to be more productive after a vacation when returning well-rested and recharged.
https://www.wrike.com/blog - We surveyed creative teams to discover their biggest challenges and bottlenecks, from conception to completion. And what we discovered was: creative teams have to organize requests, listen to feedback, and seek approvals, all while trying to incorporate their own creative vision, making it difficult to prioritize and meet deadlines. Check out the details in our Slideshare.
7 Ways Soft-Skills Power Organizational PerformanceBambooHR
Succeeding in today's increasingly competitive global landscape calls for our organizations to leverage everything they can, and increasingly, that leverage is coming down to your employees' soft skills.

In this slideshare, you will learn:
• Soft skills: What are they anyway?
• Soft skills and recruiting: The secret to successful hires
• What the bottomline results are for soft skills
• How to teach, measure, and mentor soft skills

Inspired Storytelling: Engaging People & Moving Them To ActionKelsey Ruger

Some think working remotely is a terrible setting that takes control away and let's employees stay at home and be useless. Others find that remote work increases overall productivity and lowers the need to micromanage.
And both sides might be correct as remote work, like all other structures, work really well for some and make others crazy.
The only thing that we can say for certain is that telecommuting is increasingly popular and there are problems you need to face to make it work.
What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.
Building an enduring, multi-billion dollar consumer technology company is hard. As an investor, knowing which startups have the potential to be massive and long-lasting is also hard. From both perspectives, identifying companies with this potential is a combination of “art” and “science” — the art is understanding how products work, and the science is knowing how to measure it. At the earliest stages of a company, it comes down to understanding how a product is built to maximize and leverage user engagement.
In this presentation, Sarah Tavel shares her "Hierarchy of Engagement" framework she uses to evaluate non-transactional consumer companies she is looking to invest in.

Leader's Guide to Motivate People at WorkWeekdone.com
To motivate employees, leaders should provide more praise, attention, responsibility, and incentives. Specifically, leaders should recognize employees' good work, keep employees informed about company goals and strategies, assign more challenging tasks with autonomy, establish incentive programs with realistic yet challenging goals, and provide pay raises correlated with employee performance and development. Leaders can use a performance management tool like Weekdone to understand employee status, provide transparent feedback, and align goals across different levels.
BlaBlaCar is a long distance car sharing community, connecting drivers with empty seats and people looking for a ride. Our website and mobile apps allow drivers to publish a planned journey. Passengers can then search available offers, and get in touch with the driver of their choice.
We provide a range of features to create a secure, reliable, trust-based community and easy connections between drivers and passengers. For instance, members specify how chatty they are on the scale “Bla”, “BlaBla” and “BlaBlaBla”, hence the name BlaBlaCar. Members rate one another after travelling together, allowing them to build trusted reputations in the community, and contact details are verified.
BlaBlaCar is currently used by more than 500,000 people every month across Europe. The community, already numbering 2.5 million members, has been growing rapidly since 2009, in great part due to rising fuel costs and expensive rail fares.

https://www.wrike.com/blog/08/27/2014/Crowdfunding-Sites-Infographic - In the last few years, the crowdfunding scene has exploded. It's not just about Kickstarter and IndieGoGo anymore. Now there are hundreds of platforms to choose from, with more popping up every day. But which crowdfunding site is best for your startup, small business, or charitable cause?
In this infographic, we cover 26 Top Crowdfunding Sites with all the essential details so you can choose wisely.
More info here on the blog: https://www.wrike.com/blog/08/27/2014/Crowdfunding-Sites-Infographic
The document discusses the rise of the sharing economy. It notes that sharing services now reach 40,000 people per day across 30,000 cities and 192 countries. The sharing economy has grown due to factors like the recession, excess waste and unused goods, information overload, and a new generation that values sustainability and community over consumerism. Examples mentioned include crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, local marketplaces like Etsy, and communities formed around sharing items, skills and physical spaces. The document argues this shift represents more than a fad and will continue transforming economic and social systems.
The eBooks you create have the potential to become an important pillar in your content marketing mix.

But first, we need to move past the assumption that great eBooks are merely written and start building them with all the right parts!

The importance of Time management is not generally appreciated. This is the most important thing that helps everyone, irrespective of age, gender, status, etc. While the fundamental principles remain the same, the application, the focus, and the stress might vary, depending on the particular circumstances. The aspects needed to be stressed in case of officers, would understandably be different from those that are relevant in respect of subordinate staff. The main idea is to impress on the participants the importance, so that they can get initiated to the idea and proceed to work further.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
