This a timely and important piece from Mark Schaefer of {grow} in which he touches upon several issues which confront all of us who are trying to keep our heads above water in the ever-evolving world of Social Media. To quote: "Not only do the platforms shift every day, the rules of engagement change constantly, too. Can anybody keep up with the real (and rumored) changes just to Facebook's EdgeRank formula? What we considered best practices six months ago are passé today. Social media is overwhelming, especially when there is pressure to master every new platform that comes along How do you keep up?." Remember: ** Platforms may change but marketing fundamentals remain the same ** Absolutely nobody can navigate this changing world alone as there are too many facets to it, so form a mutually beneficial support group. ** There's too much informationfor any one person to keep on top of all of it, so pick a main focus and try really hard to keep mainly to that. ** Know your audience and go where you will find them. This might mean giving up on one of the major platforms. Swallow hard and do it! ** The more successful you become and the more your reach grows, the less time you will have to engage one-on-one with people. Don't let yourself feel guilty about this as it is inevitable. ** Go to a trusted source for information but be warned: Such a place may not (yet) exist.

Workers are checking their phones a staggering amount each day, according to a recent survey.
Beth Kanter's insight:
1. Provide attention-management training. Managing attention is like managing money -- once you spend it, it’s gone. By incorporating attention-management instruction into training sessions and annual reviews, employees will learn techniques to make the best use of their time. For example, the website Mind Tools suggests that employers teach employees how to create action programs instead of to-do lists. Action programs incorporate short-, medium- and long-term goals that help employees prioritize immediate actions, keep track of projects they have delegated and maintain a list of the projects they plan to work on. This more extensive organizational system will help employees better manage their attention and those reporting to them.
