Not Enough about Procrastination [FruitfulTime Blog]
Although a lot has been said about procrastination in the blog sphere, we keep on getting email from our readers asking us to write about procrastination.

Une minuterie logicielle pour booster votre productivité [C'éclair!]
On voit souvent d’un mauvais oeil les contraintes et limitations qu’on peut rencontrer dans notre travail. Et on les accuse même de nous empêcher d’atteindre nos objectifs. Pourtant, une contrainte n’est pas forcément une gêne et peut nous rendre service.
