I'm also in the middle of reading The Dip. I kepp asking myself why did I not finish it in one sitting even though it's the most concise, easy read business book ever? I think it's because simple though it is, it's too challenging to take in all at once. Valuable work isn't just difficult - doing work the hard way is valuable - because most people don't do things that way anymore. I loved that post too. I’m also in the middle of reading The Dip.

Godin tells companies this every day. I used to hate the people in college that studied for 1 hour and aced the tests, while I studied all the material, they just studied what was going to be on the test. Now I am one of those people. We only have 1440 minutes in a day. How do you want to spend them? This year I am taking a new approach inspired by Chris Anderson's (Longtail) Secret to productivity <a href="http://www.longtail.com/the_long_tail/2007/08/the-secret-to-p.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.longtail.com/the_long_tail/2007/08/the-secret-to-p.html</a> "Don't watch TV. Especially college sports." Damn, that's gonna suck. OK, maybe just the bowl games... That labor Day post of Seth's is a quote that is going right into the quote page. Thanks for the heads up Ryan!
