Pay Attention to the Sockets

Most of us have setup our office in a coffee shop at one point or another. When you choose which coffee shop to start working in, pay attention to the sockets. There should be a lot. Sometimes I have setup shop in places where there are only a few, and I get there early and get one. But you want to be surrounded by A-players. And A-players don't fight for sockets. They go where there are a lot and they fight for market share instead.

Business Lunch Etiquette

Business lunch etiquette: choose your food wisely. Don't order a lot more food or a lot less food than the other person. Don't go to the bathroom more than once. Don't order spaghetti -- its too messy and ungraceful to eat.

What Color Should You Paint Your Office?

Wondering what color to paint your office? Blue makes you calm. Yellow makes people chat more. Red makes you anxious. But whatever, you probably don't have the ability to determine the color of the walls of your office anyway. Research says you should try for the thermostat, though. It's possible for you to maybe get control over that, and having control over temperature at work can actually increase your happiness there.

Redrawing the Lines Around the Things We Love

You can't let work take your life over, but if you don't let work encroach on some things, then you won't have work you care about. Boundaries should not be onerous. Instead you should just see them as an expression of who you are. It's like a marriage. If there are two people who want to be together but also want to have interesting lives, then there are personal boundary issues all the time. That's what makes life interesting -- drawing and redrawing the lines around the things we love.

Hoping for a Huge Fire

The image of a match is a great one when you think of starting. The flame is small, but the fact that we can actually make a flame is almost miraculous. And this is what starting a company feels like – on the one hand, not that big a deal, but from another perspective, it’s always amazing to create something out of nothing. And then: You hope for a huge fire.

Take a Job in Another Country

One of the best ways to fix a crooked career path is to take a job in another country. You can say you leveraged the skills you gathered in earlier jobs and applied them to a foreign market. You will look organized and focused even if the job you actually did in that country is stupid.

Giving Praise

Here's a tip for a new manager: Give praise. But you knew that. This tip is to tell you that the right way to give praise is in random, unexpected, and specific ways. The randomness makes the praise feel like it is coming more often, and the unexpected means the day has a nice surprise. The specific part is important because vague praise doesn't feel genuine. And just think, if you get good at giving praise, you might receive a bunch yourself.

You're Never Late Because You're Too Busy

You are never late because you're too busy. You're late because you don't have a grip on your schedule. And people who don't have a grip on schedule usually do not have a software problem or a calendaring problem, they have a prioritizing problem. Which is why when you are late you scream to the world that you don't have your life in order. Makes you want to watch the clock, doesn't it?

Siblings and Happiness

It's very hard to look at someone who is 20 and know what their life will be like. In fact, a 70-year study at Harvard shows it's impossible. Except for one thing: Relationships with siblings. If you have strong relationships with your siblings when you are 47, you will have a good second half of your life. Random, yes, but there is very strong data to support this. So cutting off a sibling in your 20s may be one of the worst long-term decisions you could make.
