The advice about the “Intersection of Life and Work” is often rich on Penelope Trunk’s “Brazen Careerist” blog, but this week’s posting, “Time Management Is Not About Tasks,” is particularly insightful and practical.
It’s all about the art of time well spent and constructive criticism vs vapid compliments.
And don’t miss her reference to Get Rid of the Performance Review!: How Companies Can Stop Intimidating, Start Managing — and Focus on What Really Matters, a fascinating book by Samuel Culbert, professor at the UCLA school of business.
Trunk does not blog on a fixed schedule. She says, “I post when I have something to say that may be of value to my readers.” I feel much the same about my blog and appreciate your patience through my sometimes lengthy gaps in publication and the fact that you do come back to read what I have to say.
Elizabeth,
Know what you mean by the challenge of frequent posting. Sometimes it’s just darned tough to come up with something to say.
I learned by “blogging chops” from Penelope Trunk guide. She’s an interesting character. I always find what she writes intriguing; although sometimes with a raised brow.
