Over at his blog, Seth Godin asks that those of us who have a copy of his book, The Dip, to share it with a friend.

I loved it so much, it's already making the rounds with my mates.

Read it, it's worth it.

Procrastination Part 2: It can be a good thing!

I was delighted to read this post from Celine Roque at webworkerdaily.com. Just because I'm a procrastinator, doesn't mean I have a problem. Hurrah!

Apparently, when I procrastinate by working on something trivial instead, it means I'm anxious or overwhelmed about The Task I Should Do. Check.

When I procrastinate by working on the bigger projects when the smaller ones are due, I'm annoyed with the smaller task, or don’t see the point of it. Check.

If I opt for doing something recreational, apparently I need to take a break or am not in the mood to work yet. Hmmm... not sure about this one. 1/2 right because what if I never get in the mood?

Want to know what the cure is? Well, there's no magic pill but head over to webworkerdaily.com to find out. I'll be trying out her ideas... some I already do!

A Rockin' Colour Tool

I found this today, the Experimental Colr Pickr - pick a colour, use the slider for tone and it will pull up images from flickr that fit the colour you've picked. Way way cool.

Colr Pickr

You can also pick by various themes: Color Fields, Flowers, Crayon Box, Squared Circle, Graffiti, Flickr Central, Doors and Windows, Macro, Textures, Urban Decay, Catchy Colors, Stock Repository, JPG Magazine.

The Stock Repository searches images under creative commons.

Procrastination: Don't know how? Here’s a flowchart!

If you ever wondered how I approached blog posting, this is it. Actually, it's how I approach most things! A couple of things they left out though are research' and 'incubating' (or thinking about it).
