Celebrate Success | Jon Gordon’s Blog | Developing Positive Leaders, Organizations and Teams
Teams and organizations that focus on and celebrate success create more success. Success becomes ingrained in the culture and people naturally look for it, focus on it and expect it.

Google is finally releasing the next best thing: a mobile site that basically replicates a dedicated Google Voice app.
The big advantage of Google’s new Voice app (which is already showing up for Voice users at Lifehacker HQ) is the direct contact access. Rather than having to store secondary numbers or use the somewhat old-school-looking Voice mobile site to pull up your contacts, Google Voice’s new webapp provides super-quick, as-you-type access to your Google Contacts.

Tim Sanders offers the following “refreshment plan” for your summer:
1. Take at least one week off before Labor Day (if you have it available). Don’t sit around the house, go somewhere where nature will convince you forget about the world.2. Don’t take your laptop with you on the trip. Carry your cell phone, but give strict instructs that you are only to be bothered with an emergency. Only check your email once every two days.
3. Take a full weekend day off for the rest of the year. Don’t check email or even think about work.
4. Devote one hour a day to exercise and self-education.
