• Jerry Seinfeld's productivity secret. No, seriously. I doubted too. It's not revolutionary, but it's a darn good idea. I've been thinking about this a lot since reading it last week.
• In Champagne Moments, Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) unfolds that familiar not-quite-satisfied progression toward success. "And so it went, in ant-sized steps forward. Every pat on the back came with a kick in the nuts."
• When To Dump That Great Idea. This one hurt to read -- but as I reflect back, ditching the stinkers for something better is essential. This article outlines the signs it is time to drop your current plans for world domination and replace them with something new.
• What it takes to be rich. Have you ever wanted to knock on the door of some huge beautiful house and ask them what they do for a living? This guy traveled to America's wealthiest zip codes and did just that.
