@GuruSimple has been uploading videos from the recent Scanner Retreat with Barbara Sher, and this latest one is one of my favorites. So much so, that I just have to share! In this video (embedded below; direct link to YouTube):

The Myth of Passion

The message coming from all sides seems to be clear: everyone has a passion. If you can't find it, there's something wrong -- either with your approach, or (gasp!) with you. Try harder. Try this other program. Do more soul-searching. It can be devastating.

If you've found yourself in that position, I want to let you in on a little secret. There's a good reason you may never find your one true passion: you may not have one.

Weekly Reads: Scanners Connect

2 Comments

It's been a while since I posted a weekly reads collection (which I guess means that they're less weekly, and more just plain reads). This week, I wanted to make sure to pass along some great links, though, that have been shared at recent Twitter #ideaparty Thursdays.

So this week, I've got a bunch of blogs from my fellow scanners, as well as some other folks who have started new businesses, ventures and lives as a result of the brainstorming and networking power of the IdeaParty phenomenon. Enjoy!

After last time telling you how I got my inbox from overflowing to empty, it seems only natural that I also share another of my little time-saving tricks: my handy-dandy Gather Sheet.

Getting to Inbox Zero

Every so often, I'll go to send an email and get an annoying little message box telling me that I've got way too much junk in my inbox -- and until I clean up my act, it won't let me send any more outgoing messages.

The benefit, though, is that I've managed to come up with a technique that allows me to go from inbox-overwhelmed to inbox-empty quickly and efficiently. Here's how I do it.

Review: Reclaim Your Dreams

0 Comments

I first encountered Jonathan Mead of Illuminated Mind via his guest posts on Zen Habits. I am a regular reader of his contributions on that blog as well as his own, as I find him one of the more practical and to-the point personal development bloggers I've come across.

So, when Jonathan was looking for reviewers for his new e-book entitled "Reclaim Your Dreams: An Uncommon Guide to Living on Your Own Terms" (link), I was more than happy to offer a review in exchange for a gratis copy of the e-book. That said, here we go!
