The last week has seen me switch over to Chrome–Firefox seems excessively sluggish on my fairly new i5 iMac, so I decided it was time for a change. Click Here to Read Article …
The Netsetter: The New Google Keyword Tool – Love It or Leave It
When Google updated the interface to the Google Keyword Tool a few months ago, its best feature was the link it contained to the previous interface, which was the one bookmarked and used by most keyword researchers, SEOs and internet marketers after the change. I tried several times in the interim to force myself to use the new interface, which was still in beta, knowing that I would have to adapt sooner or later. Each time I tried it, I couldn’t stand it for more than 20 minutes, and would revert to the previous interface, which featured one of the most elegant user experiences of any Google product.

Do you possess attributes of greatness? I’m guessing that you do. I think it’s one of the reasons you read this blog and others with similar themes of self-improvement and personal development. We all want to learn to be better workers, to make smarter decisions, and to become better and more well-rounded human beings. Part of learning mastery in life is realizing our true potential. And with that, I ask another version of the greatness question: Do you ever know when you’re in the presence of greatness? Click Here to Read Article …
Are You Rewarding Yourself through Procrastination?

The Magic of Rituals
A very cute yoga teacher I once met at a conference told me that the reason he did the same Ashtanga practice day after day was that it helped him make sense of his day. For that hour and a half, he knew exactly what he would be doing, and that ritual – or routine – helped him deal with all the unpredictability that happens in daily life.
For myself, I tend to get bored with the same yoga practice over and over. I also find it difficult to carve out an hour and half for yoga on a daily basis, although half an hour is often doable.
