THINK ABOUT IT: pick up the phone

24. February 2010

First, I’d like to give a huge hug to all of you who responded so positively to the re-posts yesterday! I was shocked at the response. Sometimes when talking to people about MML, they ask about something I’ve written about in the past. And for some reason it never clicked, just because I’ve written about [...]

THINK ABOUT IT: cash vs. credit

17. February 2010

The Cloud Today’s THINK ABOUT IT came to me officially (though I didn’t know it) on January 30th, 2009. While on the way home from the airport after spending the holidays with my family in Pennsylvania, my wallet was stolen. The actual event was fortunately non-violent. A man on a crowded bus “helped” me with my [...]

THINK ABOUT IT: production vs. production asset

10. February 2010

This week’s THINK ABOUT IT is a topic both near and dear to my heart and straight out of Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In the overview of the book (starting on page 53), Covey explains that effectiveness is based on honoring what he calls the P/PC balance. The P stands [...]

THINK ABOUT IT: how we dance

3. February 2010

This week’s THINK ABOUT IT is really simple. It’s one simple quote by Seth Godin found on Danielle LaPorte’s White Hot Truth. (By the way, Michelle has been talking about White Hot Truth and Danielle for months and I’m not only now seeing how awesome she is for myself. My bad.) Anyways. Back to the point. This [...]

THINK ABOUT IT: saying “no” means “yes”

27. January 2010

This post is really written for me, but might be helpful for others. Saying “no” means saying “yes.” Sure, we’ve all heard the anti-drug tag-line, “just say no!” since elementary school. And as children we knew not to accept offers for illegal drugs. It meant bad things. But what I think they didn’t manage to teach well [...]

Thank you, thank you. I will continue accepting submissions until next Tuesday (Jan/26), so feel free to keep posting messages. I’m also excited [...]

THINK ABOUT IT: money = guilt?

13. January 2010

Today’s THINK ABOUT IT came to me back in December while I was on the EL (subway) platform at Belmont. What I came to realize about my thinking that evening might be helpful to discuss here on Makeunder. Money = Guilt? One day last month I created an expensive custom piece. A few people were interested in [...]

THINK ABOUT IT: the regret sack

6. January 2010

Welcome to the first official installment of THINK ABOUT IT! I have had this post idea written down for weeks (maybe even months) and I think it is the perfect compliment to a fresh new year. The Regret Sack As Erwin and I were watching tv one Sunday morning, we heard Joel Osteen speak about an old [...]

new series: “think about it”

17. December 2009

I apologize for the break in the DESIGN YOUR LIFE series. Things have been much busier than I expected this week… well, really much busier all of December, really. (It’s holiday season, why did I expect things to slow down?!) Which left me with little time to snag someone for a DYL post. Think About It But [...]
