One way to define someone insanely interested in everything is to say that he keeps getting new ideas all the time. It’s a great place to be, sitting there in the middle of a flow of new ideas, but it has a downside too: If you keep hopping from one idea to the next as ideas keep popping to your mind, you will never finish a thing.

I have a new addiction. It’s called Plurk, and I think you should try it out too. All the cool kids are doing it, so I’m sure you don’t want to miss on all the fun. But these short two weeks or so on Plurk have already taught me something important about friendship.

Sometimes you need to stop and think. But there lies a risk too: the risk of stopping for too long, maybe even for good. When you are standing still, you are not learning – and you are away from where the action is.
That’s why to follow up on my post about the everyday stop signs, today I’m sharing a fine collection of green lights. Keep moving!

The image in this post would really belong to my next post, but I thought that I’d share it with you now to give you a sneak preview of what’s coming up. So, early next week we’ll be talking about green lights.
But before that I want to post a collection of insanely interesting links: some new and exciting stuff I have been working on lately, and a few great posts from the blogosphere.

There is this guy, Matt. He does everything: he cooks, he runs marathons, he is a professional landscape artist, he plays the harp, he does programming, he builds houses, he studies the mysteries of life with his tiny microscope, he teaches kids at a science club, and he participates in local politics – just to name a few of his activities.
Matt has a problem: His life is full of exciting things – but he is not happy.

Having a big dream is exciting. You treasure your dream, make plans on how to get to it, work hard to implement the plans. The dream consumes you.
But when the dream starts to rule your life, you start missing on things: you live in the future, so things happening in today’s world don’t mean anything to you.

It’s time for another report on the “make money online” challenge. This time we will take look at all the money I lost in May, and see what you can learn from my mistakes.
Luckily, the sums are still small, and while in the end I didn’t make any profit, I didn’t lose either, just ended up with zero revenue.

If you want to achieve a lot, you have to give up on some things. That’s a bit of a contradiction, but there lies wisdom in these words. If you want to do many big things, you can’t be caught up doing tons of small, seemingly urgent tasks that don’t get you anywhere.
You have to get rid of distraction.
