Jim's Pond - Exploring the Universe of Ideas

"Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"What is your cost of confusion and the value of clarity? Platitudes aside, our biggest limit is no longer the reach of our imagination. It's our ability to order, make sense of, and connect everything demanding our attention...how we create clarity.

Productive knowledge work is all about how we use each other's time and attention as we try to get stuff done. Your worst competitor is day-to-day confusion - the time it takes everyone to figure out what to do and what not to do."
