Food for thought for the Weekend (8-Dec-2018)

Food for thought for the Weekend: My series where I present assorted collection of interesting blog posts, TED talks, podcast and articles I read/listened this week, some quotes that resonated with me, excerpts from my own reading.

Bestselling author and Whartonhttps://www.wharton.upenn.edu/ professor Adam Granthttp://www.adamgrant.net/ has spent years researching and interviewing originals.  In Originals, Grant shows how to identify, foster and nurture nonconformists — here he expounds on how to recognize and recruit them in a startup setting (though applicable in large corporates too)

Time disappears. A new world reveals itself. The future will be different than the past because of the words you’ve read. (Also a list of 6 books routinely recommended by business leaders including Bill Gates and Warren Buffet)

Generally speaking, procrastination isn't your friend if you want to be a success. But according to Dr. Ellen Hendriksen, clinical psychologist at Boston University's Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, there are just three main types of procrastinators. If you know which one you are, it might be easier for you to take charge of your agenda and finish tasks when you should.
