Is Age Just a Number?

Sure it is.  And 'experience' is just a word too.  I got a kick out of Brian Wong's post on LinkedIn.  Brian's a 21-year-old.  Although his age is stated in the article, I could have guessed he was a youngster just by reading the article.  I love his enthusiasm, passion, energy, innocence, and idealism. 

Staying Focused and Productive

It seems like everyone is perpetually looking for ways to squeeze more productivity out of their day.  Much like diets, there is no magic answer.  It all comes down to making better choices and having the willpower to stick with it.  If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you'll need to make an entire lifestyle change.  A quick fix diet will only put you on a weight roller coaster.  It won't address the core lifestyle problem.  Similarly, focus and productivity issues should be addressed by looking inward, not outward.  I like many of the points Nadia Goodman makes to train your brain to stay focused.  Another article embedded in Nadia's has some good tips for finding focus and nixing distractions.
