Attenzi – A Social Business Story
Guest Post by Philip Sheldrake
We’re at an incredibly exciting point in time.
The Internet is in its 40s, the Web is in its 20s, and social media (in its web manifestation) is in its teens. Most of us have a super computer in our pockets and there’s affordable, ubiquitous connectivity to boot.
So what are we doing with it all? Well, polemically you could argue that we’re doing what we’ve always done.
We just do it digitally now.
We had mail, now email. We had folders and a desktop, and now we have digital folders and a digital desktop. It’s only after decades that we’re beginning to play to digital’s unique properties, moving away for example from folders towards search and discovery, and away from email towards enterprise social networking.

I’m back from vacation, which means WUL is too! Did you have a good last couple of weeks? Did you miss me?
During these long, hot days of summer it’s sometimes hard to concentrate and keep your focus. And even though it’s great (and necessary) to lounge around every so often, that particular “F” word is one we can’t afford to mess around with. So this week’s roundup focuses on… focus.

1. Focusing Your Energy in Business
Why: Kyle Lacy reminds us that it’s OK to say no when dividing our focus hurts the overall quality of our work.

Ed: WUL will be back next week with brand new posts, but for now enjoy this post that originally ran on July 14, 2010. Upon re-reading it, it still makes sense… so here you go (it has minor edits to keep it updated) … and make sure you get enough R&R after reading it!
A while back, I was asked by the estimable Thursday Bram to contribute to a blog post on Constructively Productive that would focus on “heretical’ productivity.

A fine idea, I thought. After all, is life worth living if you’re not a little heretical now and again?
