An eclectic mix of articles I want to share with you this week. On productivity, taking cues from geniuses, New Yorkers continue the 7 PM cheer, the energy in words, and more. Oh, and two not-for-profits are featured in our do-gooder section this week:

  • Succeed by taking notes from geniuses.

  • Speaking of networking and connecting, here are tips on goals you’ll want to commit to before you continue your outreach.

Do Good Spotlight #1: INT-O

We recently learned about INT-O and couldn’t wait to share with you. International Optimism Yellow (INT-O Yellow) is a color with a cause. It was developed as a platform for participation and collaboration between: Pantone, artist Uncle Riley, UMEWE and YOU. It was conceived as a tool to explore Optimism and positively impact reality.
