Lindsey Sparks Should you still give a full two weeks' notice if you're leaving a job after only a few weeks/months? Does your answer change if it's a position where you manage people? What if you're not in the middle of any projects? Just curious what people think!

John Heartlein: I agree with the other responses. It would be rude and reflect poorly on you to give less than 2 weeks notice.

Ellen Nordahl What resources have you found to be valuable in time management? At Epic, all employees receive a copy of "Getting Things Done" by David Allen, and everyone has a professional development fund to put toward materials that are beneficial to their career development. I'm putting some of mine toward "Rework" by Jason Fried, but I would love to hear any recommendations for productivity-focused books.

I'll definitely look in to the Lifehacker book (I read the site daily), and I'm intrigued to learn that there's a follow-up to Allen's first book. Your Brain at Work also sounds like an interesting read. Keep up the awesome suggestions! (And Eric - I agree - it is great to feel like your company is truly devoted to providing the resources you need to stay sharp and on top of your game).

Danielle Bullen I was contacted by an editor to write articles for a mag. We talked on the phone and she said, I'll pay X per piece. Two pieces are now posted on the website. Altogether, I'm writing 5 stories for her. What is the etiquette for requesting payment? Should I wait and ask for one check for all 5 once they're published? Any advice?

I'd recommend emailing her so you have it in writing.

It turns out the editor already submitted invoices for the two published pieces to the billing department. I know now roughly when to expect payment.
