I know I should read this, but I haven’t the time. There are also three books I need to skim through, Brand Hijack, that Pirate book I mentioned (and loathe) and wish to get the Paradox of Choice completed sometime soon. Then there sits eleven magazines/periodicals on my desk that require flicking through and the highlighting of pieces to read at a later date. Oh and then the 1280 unread feeds from NetNewsWire that keep growing every day. So at the end of the day, when I would like to write something, I can’t because I am paralyzed by the vast array and difference in the information I have consumed today. The few things that have stuck in my head are Demo’s Greenhouse post on an interview with the CEO of Pret ‘A’ Manger, and his ideas on building a better customer experience, the article on how American Airlines pulled itself out of bankruptcy with the help of their employees’ ideas and Best Buy’s Flexi-time experiment. I’ll find links to them all shortly – but in the mean time I’m going to go sit in a dark room and clear my head.
