How do you frame your work?

When running the other morning, I stopped to take this photo. I knew I'd be able to use it sometime



and there is no better time than the present. How do you frame your work?

What motivates you? Do you have an overarching goal against which there are individual tasks and objectives?

Does everything you do all tie together?

inside #the5 Friday - frame

Good morning, time to go inside #the5 today.

Before we get into #the5, for those who may not be aware of what #the5 is Christopher S Penn started this earlier this year (actually Dec 2009) when he wrote this. I have long been sharing items like this (recall the Hitchhiker's Guide now in hibernation). The same idea has now adapted to use Twitter. Thanks Chris!

As I like to add value to what I do, I started Twitter Bingo. Do #the5, then at the end of the day, see who else has come up with the same item. Or as a recent add to this, see who has retweeted it which is almost the same thing.

Sharing, making new connections, this is life long learning!

Lisa Johnson has some good insights on behavior at the gym. If you go there, how do you behave? Are you aware of what you do?

Meet The 9 Fund Managers That Warren Buffett Knew Would Outperform The Market http://read.bi/fLLJXK me: well worth an entry to #the5

More important than data is the activity or behavior that drives the data. Not many do it better than Warren. We might learn something from how he does it.

Make Your Own Frame http://bit.ly/fo3CSy me: what is your frame of mind this Friday? a good question for #the5

The theme running through these posts/links today that caught my eye and now you are reading about is "frame". What is the frame of reference for the data? What is your frame of reference? The first step is to realize that it can color your view of the world. The second step is if the color isn't what you want, you can change your frame of reference. It is your choice.
