Can't find your phone??

The entrepreneurial spirit is such that every problem is seen as an opportunity...catering to people's laziness/forgetfulness is a one stop shop to a money-making enterprise.  This little site called I can't find my phone is no different!!

Don't understand what i mean?? Well, do you know those moments when you can't find your phone, but there is no one around you could ask to call you?? Well, that's what icantfindmyphone.com is for. Fantastic isnt it?? Plus its free!!

The only down side, it works only for american numbers. Quick, someone adapt it to your local market! 

The Right Thing

Working on the right thing is probably more important than working hard.

Hahaha!! How true...hope everyone has a really productive day!

Distractions

One of the more embarrassing and self-indulgent challenges of our time is the task of relearning how to concentrate. The past decade has seen an unparalleled assault on our capacity to fix our minds steadily on anything. To sit still and think, without succumbing to an anxious reach for a machine, has become almost impossible.

…

The need to diet, which we know so well in relation to food, and which runs so contrary to our natural impulses, should be brought to bear on what we now have to relearn in relation to knowledge, people, and ideas. Our minds, no less than our bodies, require periods of fasting.

Urban storytelling

Rob Walker, the author of Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are explains how he kept walking by a construction site that sported one of those fancy 3D renderings of what’s soon to come. After months of walking by the site, and nothing happening, it was clear that obviously this was just a bunch of hot air.

The idea for The Hypothetical Development was born. In robs own words "Why not pick interesting sites and come up with Hypothetical Development renderings? Consider it a new form of urban storytelling."

Or as they explain it on their site:
Members of this Hypothetical Deveolpment begin the narrative process by examining city neighborhoods and commercial districts for compelling structures that appear to have fallen into disuse —“hidden gems” of the built environment. In varying states of repair, these buildings suggest only stories about the past, not the future. What this means is that they will put huge signs with illustrations/graphics of what soon is to come on this site outside various locations in New Orleans.

I think the idea is pure genius. What do you think??

How to motivate innovative people!

How do we encourage people to try out their new ideas? One of the big problems we face in managing innovation is figuring out a way to help the people we work with to be more creative. In this fantastic talk, Dan Pink outlines some of the key points from his new book Drive! Enjoy!

How to really inspire people!

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers — and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.

Definitely a new favorite on my long list of TED talks.
