- #131: Failure comes from tools to blame
I often catch myself thinking, “If only I had that smart phone app, or this new tablet or that thin laptop or this stunning software, then I will....”
1 min - #130: Lazy likes it hotter
People who show little respect for their personal space are unlikely to show respect for public space. This lack of respect is killing our planet.
1 min - #129: How to step lightly and smell like roses
Here's a tried and tested way to create more time to smell the roses.
1 min - #128: To succeed, don’t play nice at work
Do you work for a nice organization? You do? I’m so sorry to hear that. Nice is not always successful.
1 min - #127: Which will you be, stubbornly persistent or persistently stubborn?
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Except that sometimes you will appear to be stubbornly persistent and at others persistently stubborn.
1 min - #126: Seek multiple sources of unlikeable feedback

About NonsenseAtWork
From the publisher's feed
Boost your career and success by learning to deal with the nonsense of pleasing a boss, playing nice with colleagues, making subordinates productive, and living a life. (Why should you learn to deal with nonsense at work? Because nonsense stops you from being successful. Nonsense is always at work. It never stops. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is always some sense in nonsense, if you look for it. And if you are willing to look for it, time and again you will find that you can make the nonsense at work work for you.)
