If you’ve tried recently, or even not so recently, to “get organized” and “manage your time,” you’ve probably noticed that it just isn’t that easy. You feel like you’re getting more done, and done faster, but you’re not feeling any better.

Turning the Pareto Princliple on Its Head
The Pareto Principle, or 80/20 rule, or the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity, states that 80% of the effects (results) come from 20% of the causes (effort).

Sadness Isn’t All Bad: Dealing with Loss
I think that as a culture we tend to try too hard to avoid sadness at all costs, and I think that’s a very serious mistake.
