Kim Luu Do you get tired of the insincerity and sales in networking? I host two roundtables for executives locally and get inundated with people wanting to join because they want to sell to or use the relationships vs. truly being involved. I insist on no self promotion so they don't come back a second time but it's still a pain because it wastes our time. It's also irritating when I see someone evaluate whether it's worthwhile to network with me. I can see the calculation in their head.

I understand sometimes people may try and use the exposure to plug themselves but I guess I never thought it would be helpful to do so.

If people think you are worth listening to then you don't need to plug anything.

The art of being sincere and bringing out the sincerity in "used care salesmen" is a challenge that is very much worth it.

Sometimes I think that there should be a verbal distinction between Social Networking and Social Sales. Imagine how much more informative conversations would be. "So last night I went to this Social Sales event..."

Harriet May I really struggle with managing my time personal time. There are so many books I want to read, and personal projects I'd like to try, but I'm terrible for getting distracted by Google Reader and bad TV. How do you battle distractions and find the motivation to get things you know you should get done, done?

It's not just bad TV, there's too much good TV to watch that I decided not to own a set, so now I have to work harder and find things online or plan ahead by going to a friend's house for something special or a bar to see a game.

As for google reader or any other media, go with it, don't fight your natural inquiring mind however, you should hold yourself accountable for time spent by trying the following i) don't just consume information,contribute by writing something useful for others, even a small paragraph per week and see where it leads you ii) try to bring your thoughts together on a topic to create either a new business, service or product and after a week or two of surfing/playing tell your idea to at least one friend who you know will be constructively critical.

Kathrin P. Ivanovic Line b/w work (refugee resettlement) and play (blogging about social justice) is becoming hard to keep separate. Any suggestions?

132 weeks ago from Ask Penelope Trunk!

Penelope Trunk: Why do you need to separate work and blog? Your work is a winding path, and your blog can be the record of that. I hope my blog is that.
