There is this common saying that when you are a jack of all trades, you are a master of none. Now I don’t know if it’s true, but well, that’s what people commonly say these days. And if you want to be like the common people, you might just accept that misnomer and carry on…
I work in marketing. And as of this July I will have worked in marketing for a decade. That’s longer than I’ve committed to pretty much anything in my life. To this point, my longest romantic relationship was eight years, and the most physical hours I’ve put into being an artist is definitely less than a…
Every good project tells a story. A story about goals, its members, deadlines, and what is required for completion. It also requires management to understand the story they need to tell, and to deliver it with gusto. Also, a REALLY good story follows a proper story arc, no matter if it’s an urban myth, a…
The past few weeks have just been nuts for me, dear readers. On top of it all, I got sick not once, but twice. I’ve already written about this experience in my post about community, but today I wanted to focus on the practical side of dealing with a seemingly never-ending illness, jam-packed days filled with…
There is this phrase out there which tells us that history is written by the victors, and attributed to Winston Churchill. It’s a good quote, and the gravity of it is not lost on anyone. But the intent of the quotation and the reality of it are two different things. If we stop and consider…
A new year, a new theme. And while I’m not going to unleash that theme on you just yet, mostly because I’m saving it for the timotheories January post that’ll be released tomorrow, let’s just agree that this first Wisdom Wednesday post of the year is significant. Heck, I’ve even layered this post into an existing…
The first time I heard someone refer to another person as the “genuine article” or the “real article”, I didn’t really get it, dear readers. I thought all people were real. After all, we are all standing there visible to the world around us. Admittedly, I was probably 9 or 10 years old. That cultural idiom…
Christmas drives me absolutely nuts dear readers. I have to run around at a breakneck pace in order to keep up with all of the events, people, and deadlines. And that doesn’t even factor in my day job or running timotheories dot com. Now to be fair, I’m not telling you this to ask for…
This is a story in progress. It’s not finished yet because… well, I’m not dead. Yes, I realize that’s something of a graphic and incredible overstatement of a point I haven’t even made about the importance of living in the moment, but I suspect you already knew that dear readers. I’ve always wanted to be better….
Let’s talk about jobs, ba-by, let’s talk about your, iden-tity. A Bang Up Job When I think about Jobs as a product, comfort immediately comes to mind. Next, would probably be security and consistency of everyday use. If I can have less anxiety, more fun, and don’t have to worry about over-performing or under-performing, the convenience factor is…
