Here is where I will be sharing my ideas regarding design, web and technology
Urgent vs Important
Prioritization of tasks is key for time management. To do this efficiently I found it very useful to recognize the difference between the terms urgent and important.
The science of Persuadability
A few years ago I did some preliminary work with an agency called Multiplica. This agency have adopted a term that I found very appropriate persuadability. With this term, they try to define the change of the target from the user to the conversion into client.
How do I use metadata
When I leant about metadata (sometime in 2001) it was in the context of eLearning, Learning Object Metadata (LOM), it was an elitist knowledge. It was for only a few to use. Now, nine years after that, the use of metadata is has been democratized. The amount of information, materials and files out there is so voluminous that so far this is the best way we have found to make them searchable (and findable).
Addiction to lists.
Did you ever make a shopping list? I will guess yes. Why did you do it? Guessing again, so that you don’t forget something. Unfortunately most people don’t invest time on creating list for other tasks. How many times did you see yourself at the airport before taking a plane and thinking “I hope I don’t forget anything”. Right, what if you would have a list with, lets say, two columns, one for general things to get for a regular trip (ID, passport, credit cards, underwear…) and one column with specific things for that particular trip (notes to read before a meeting, presents, a liter of olive oil…).
Meetings. Do they have to be evil?
Most of the people hate meetings most of the time. Then why do we still have them? The ideal situation will be not to have any meeting at all but that is not realistic. Reducing the number of necessary meetings by adopting management tools such as Basecamp, Trac, etc. can reduce the number of meetings.
