Seven Things That Keep Us From Getting Home on...
Time wasters are often things that we enjoy. They often are the seed of great frustration as well. The frustration manifests at the end of the day when we think, “What did I do today?” or “Why didn’t those things get done?” or “I guess I’ll be here until 8pm so that I’m not late with that project.”

Do you think they did it for the PR?
Of course not. I heard from a dozen people last night, all pointing me to: I Heart Zappos. A woman had a touching and memorable experience with Zappos and wrote about it. It’s really clear that there was no PR intent at all, it was just one human reaching out to another. And that’s my point. What would the people in your organization do?
