John Hagel and John Seely Brown at Newsweek has put out the word that WoW has built a path of innovation for the work environment. Sounds a bit crazy but they have an interesting angle.

They’re looking to incorporate common MMORPG (massive multi player online roll playing game) features like experience system, custom dashboard that display real time employee progress, and team building tips that are used in player created guild structure of the title.

Not exactly what I thought when I first read the article but it is interesting. On the other hand, WoW has made me more productive as I try to finish a lot of work early so I can have more time to play at the end of the day.

My life has become pretty hectic lately so while cleaning out some of my junk, I stumbled upon this piece of treasure: a Dunkin Doughnuts planner.

In Korea, I had frequent my local Dunkin Doughnuts. Like most franchises, DD had a frequent buyer card where after 10 purchases; you can get a free something. In this case, I had gotten a planner with a DD theme. I fell in love because I love the style of it both inside and out; however, I never found a use for it until now.

It’s become my best friend in recent weeks as I keep tabs on upcoming events and blog posts for Ningin and GirlyBubble. It’s been a lifesaver and I don’t think I can live without it now.

What do you use to keep your life in check?

I work from home so I barely ever leave the house much less pamper myself. This past week I’ve been complaining that I’ve lost my beauty mojo in that I’ve become really sloppy with my looks and haven’t been taking care of myself as well as I should have. So while searching around for tips to keep myself looking decent, I found these sexy ponytails.

I love to tie my hair back when working but the usual ponytail isn’t going to cut it for me anymore. Looking at these photos compiled together by TotalBeauty, I was completely enthusiastic about how to do my hair every morning. While it does require an extra step, it is recommended that you act as if you’re getting ready in order to help jump start your day. Taking that advice would really help me out because I’m almost completely let myself go. /Shame.

The ones I picked are the ones I’m truly interested it and will try out. Once I get the hang of it, I’ll share you with you guys.
