Deciding what to do...

Too many places, not enough time.

There will always be more information and tools than you can use. You must limit, cut out, focus on a few to really reach your goals.

Now What?

Saturday, January 26, 13

Take aways

Develop a way to stay connected to trends in technology, media, and journalism.

Take advantage of opportunities to try out new approaches to discover, editing, and publishing.

Implement with measurable goals in mind.

Regularly review with those measures and goals.
