Take a bite...
Imagine you had 30 minutes where you could do anything you wanted to do. What would it be? Write down all the things you could do. For example, in 30 minutes you could:
· Answer 15 or so emails.
· Make 3 phone calls.
· Plan 5 blog posts.

From the end of next week (say by Monday 9th), we will be shutting down this site and reopening on a new platform with a brand new Community portal.
The reason for this change is, to put it simply, down to terrible service from WIX, a platform I have been with for around 15 years and loved until about 3 years ago, when things started to go rotten in terms of reliability, service levels and costs.
Basically WIX broke everything, and won't accept that they have. And have put the price up £140pa for the privilege! £140 a year in ONE GO. That's on top of the almost doubling of costs over the last three years.
My new site will still be darreninform.com
and the good news is, the shift to a new provider has given me the opportunity to rethink, refocus and properly consolidate what, who, how and why.…

Technology promised us freedom. Instead, it blurred the line between work and life.
In Episode 101 of ThinkWORKS, I examine the cost of constant interruption, the illusion of urgency, and the small behavioural shifts that can dramatically improve both productivity and wellbeing.

For example, in 30 minutes you could:
· Answer 15 or so emails.
· Make 3 phone calls.
· Plan 5 blog posts.
· Get up and go for a brisk walk.
· Watch Friends (again).
· Eat a cheeseburger.
· Update your playlists.
· Play Farmville (I just don't GET the fascination with this).
· Read a chapter in a book (my suggestion)
· Read a related white paper (again, my suggestion)
And how DO we get that extra 30 minutes in the first place???
The easiest way is to switch off the iPhone and do something more productive instead. Yes, I know it's hard, but just try.

Episode Lands Monday 23rd Feb from 8am.
What hasn’t changed?
Over time, projects evolve. Language sharpens. Confidence grows. But underneath all of it, certain questions remain constant. The work of thinking carefully. The tension between perfection and progress. The discipline of building deliberately rather than reacting quickly.
This episode isn’t a celebration. It’s a reflection.
On why I still do this.
