Our team went Upstate for a bit of team bonding, drawing, learning from each other, and yeah, maybe a little improv with the Upright Citizens Brigade!
It’s time to stop blaming our surroundings and start taking responsibility. While no workplace is perfect, it turns out that our gravest challenges are a lot more primal and personal. Our individual practices ultimately determine what we do and how well we do it. Specifically, it’s our routine (or lack thereof), our capacity to work proactively rather than reactively, and our ability to systematically optimize our work habits over time that determine our ability to make ideas happen.
[…]
Only by taking charge of your day-to-day can you truly make an impact in what matters most to you. I urge you to build a better routine by stepping outside of it, find your focus by rising above the constant cacophony, and sharpen your creative prowess by analyzing what really matters most when it comes to making your ideas happen.

Harvest customer Mohammed got one of our limited edition QA t-shirts (sorry, they’re all gone now!), and he wrote us: “I have many T-shirts from different organisations, but the one I got from you is the only one that I actually wear and love :)”
In this great Creative Mornings talk, Brad Frost dives into our growing culture of information overload, and the responsibility we all have to craft meaningful content. (via mlettini)
So cool! Our friends over at Lunch Studio drew this awesome map on their wall, of all of the new lunching options in our new neighborhood. The 10 minute walking radius is marked in black and a 15 minute walking band in blue.
The US President Dwight D. Eisenhower supposedly once said “The most urgent decisions are rarely the most important ones.” Eisenhower was considered a master of time management, i.e. he had the ability to do everything as and when it needed to be done. With the Eisenhower method, you will learn to distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.
Thanks for the love, we’re pretty excited about our Guide to Pricing too!
Completely beautiful breakdown of the different ways of pricing your work, by Harvest.
Great find by explore-blog:
Happy birthday, Standard Time! An animated history of how the railroads reined in a new era of timekeeping. Complement with Michio Kaku’s BBC documentary on time.
We surveyed leading agencies to shed light on the art of pricing projects. See what was uncovered.
Timing is everything. Cool video!
