Pressure turns coal to diamonds, right?
Monday, May 16th, 2005
The mystical ‘they’ always say that intense heat and pressure turns coal to diamonds. Perhaps not true of humans. Time management is a tough task, and something I’m not good at is saying no. I hate to see people spend "too much money" and I hate to see them struggle so I often offer to help out when I’m already way too busy. So on top of prioritizing things that are important to me, I should work to say no more.
Completely off topic from that little mini-rant is an article I read on pbs.org. Bob Cringely is a really interesting technology observer and I always enjoy reading what he has to say. This week it’s on concept he calls inflection point. He takes a fascinating look at how a few large tech companies have just recently changed the media landscape forever. They’re subtle on their face, but important in the grand scheme.
Now, I’m off to make good on improving my time management skills.
