For Lent this year, I've given up potato chips, french fries and swearing. I decided to go for all three since my effort last year (to give up criticizing others) failed on a regular -- almost hourly -- basis. Not three hours after I made my vow of abstaining from salty food and salty language, I dropped a box of spaghetti in the pantry that exploded like a thousand pick-up sticks.

Each morning before dawn, novelist Nicholson Baker would slip out of bed without waking his wife, creep downstairs without stirring his kids, make a pot of coffee, light a fire in his wood-burning stove, flip on his laptop – the only other light besides the flames – and write.

I often say that one of the happiest times of my life was when I was a college senior. Why? Because that's the last time in my life that I truly felt like I had the world by the tail. There wasn't anything I didn't know. Then, of course, I graduated, got a job.and realized I knew nothing. So, when I did this story for Ganett/USA Today, it brought back a lot of memories of my last days in college, and the naive belief that the world was waiting for me with open arms.

What's the rudest behavior you've seen at work by someone with a smartphone in their hand? It may take you a minute to think of the No. 1 worst behavior (many people seem to carry a list in their pocket), but before you spout off, I want you to consider something else. What's your rudest workplace behavior? Are you snarking about someone else's behavior when your manners are less than stellar?

Here's my gift to you today: I'm not going to blog about Charlie Sheen. I'm not going to give you advice about how you shouldn't follow Sheen's career strategy. Honestly, if you're dim enough to even think about listening to Charlie Sheen, you need a heck of a lot more advice than I can ever give you. And some really good meds.

Ever thought of running your own business? Some entrepreneurs might tell you to be careful what you wish for, while others may say it's the greatest thing they've ever done. Before you decide to jump ship and launch your own enterprise, read this column I did for Gannett/USA Today: Mark Zuckerberg may be the highly successful entrepreneur who created Facebook , but Carol Roth sighs when she hears his name.

Admittedly, this post is a little late. The Oscars were several weeks ago now but, for those of us who love movies, fashion, and snarky commentary from Joan Rivers, this year’s ceremony won’t quickly be forgotten. In case you missed it, the show was widely panned by critics who placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of the two young hosts: Anne Hathaway and James Franco.

Whether you’re shopping for your very first learning management system (LMS) or looking to upgrade, the process can be overwhelming. With so many vendor options, each with its own multitude of features and pricing structures, even the most seasoned educators, trainers, and business leaders can feel lost in a sea of choices! Finding the LMS that’s best suited for your organization requires a planned, strategic approach.

A few years ago, I decided I was going to run a marathon. I bought a brand new pair of Nikes, loaded my iPod full of great running songs, and mapped out the perfect route around my house. A month later, my Nikes were still pristine, my iPod was collecting dust and that perfect route was gently mocking me every time I left my house. Needless to say, I had the motivation at some point.

This past weekend, I became very familiar with a little thing called “resistance”. It’s kind of like a temperamental toddler in your head, kicking and screaming and repeating, “I don’t wanna! I don’t wanna! I don’t wanna!” That’s what resistance feels like. It happens when you know you SHOULD do something, you know you WANT to do it, and you know you CAN do it, and yet…you just don’t wanna.

Last week I saw an unusual busker at the railway station. Taro Hakase is a household name in his native Japan. As a violinist, he is equally at home in the worlds of classical and pop music.

I often say that there are two types of creative people: those who create things themselves; and those who help others create – as facilitators, directors, producers, managers, coaches or teachers. Inevitably, the hands-on creators get most of the limelight, but facilitators are the unsung heroes of the creative industries. The director is the invisible […].

Creative careers come in all shapes and sizes. They include classic artistic paths, in the fine arts, literature, music, drama and other performing arts. There are also traditional crafts and designer-maker professions, whose practitioners create and sell artefacts in wood, metal, glass, ceramics and other materials.

You may have noticed that it’s been a little quiet around here. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been going through a pretty big transition. At this point, things are starting to slow down and life should (hopefully) return to normal (or some semblance of) before long. So look out for more frequent blog posts in the near future. For now, though, I wanted to share a little bit about what I’ve been doing and what I’ve learned recently.
