Time Management

What can you accomplish in 1 week of Web2.0?

February 23, 2009

Nina Smith created this awesome graphic to go with her post How much time does Web 2.0 take? One of the most common questions or protests new comers to web 2.0 have is about time. Nina shows how much you can accomplish based on your time commitment. She’s broken it down nicely in the blog post, too.

Stress Management in the Library Workplace

February 13, 2009

Stress Management in the Library Workplace

Yesterday I attended a MaintainIT webinar – Using MaintainIT Resources for Technology Training, where they shared some useful information and links. One of the sites was Infopeople, a nonprofit that archives their presentations and handouts and makes them available under a Creative Commons license! As I was exploring I came across materials for a previous workshop - Stress Management in the Library Workplace. There are a lot of workshops listed but since my post – Library usage will go up during a recession – management are you really prepared? is still getting a lot of hits, I thought I’d share this one specifically. You can download the PowerPoint presentation, some exercise and these handouts: The “Bakers Dozen” – How to Reduce Stress Relieving Stress through Exercise Stress Relief through Nutrition Stress Relief and Sleeping Habits – 10 Tips for Better Sleep Symptoms of Stress and Causes of Stress Seven Quick Tips for Time Management Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Share on FriendFeed Buzz it up Share on netvibes share via Reddit Share with Stumblers Tumblr it Buzz it up Subscribe to the comments on this post Print for later Tell a friend

You’ve got 30 minutes, how do you use them?

February 10, 2009

By Bobbi Newman

I’ve seen some interesting conversations pop up online lately about FriendFeed vs Twitter, if spending time on Friendfeed killed your blog, (or not) that feedreaders are dead. Here is the thing, most of us don’t have that much time to spend online, networking, learning, creating content, whatever. I remember Helene Blowers talking about taking 15 minutes each day to read blogs, to stay informed. I gave myself 30. There are only so many hours in the day, and so many of them are taken up with other things, so really it doesn’t leave me much time to spend online (we can’t all be Robert Scoble). So sacrifices are made. I know where I spend my 30 each morning. But I want to know where do you spend yours? You’ve got 30 minutes today, only 30 minutes where will you spend it?

What 5 blogs do you think are MUST read?

December 8, 2008

By Bobbi Newman

Here is the deal, my RSS reader, its overwhelmed, I have waaaayyy too many blogs in it. I’ve tried weeding (something I’m known for being good at around the library) and I’m still not down far enough. I think I have a new plan. I’m going to unsubscribe to everything. If its good and worthwhile it will find its way back right? So if you were going to recommend 5 blogs to someone starting a new reader account what would they be?

Twitter: making the cut

September 10, 2008

By Bobbi Newman

As we’ve seen from previous posts keeping up and feeling overwhelmed is something I struggle with regularly. There are so many great people out there in libraryland, it makes sense that I would want to keep up with all of them. As part of my “I’m not a Superhero” therapy I’m admitting I can’t do everything I’ve been attempting and over the next month or so I’ll be weeding. I started with Twitter. First I needed to figure out what I need/want to get from Twitter, so I went to my del.icio.us account. I’m an avid user of delicious and while I don’t like the option to automatically post my links to my blog I’ve decided I should share them more often. Here are the ones I reread Chris Brogan’s 50 Ideas for Using Twitter for Business and Do What Works for You David Leek King’s Twtter Explained for Librarians, or 10 ways to use Twitter Sarah Houghton-Jan’s Being Wired or Being Tired: 10 Ways to Cope with Information Overload I also considered some of the popular and/or successful librarians who don’t use Twitter. I wont point fingers, but they are out there. I decided what I want from
