The Ultimate Self-Help Course
Imagine you could design the complete self-help program for yourself. What would it contain? Here are my thoughts. Excuse me if this sounds like rambling. If you have your own ideas, I welcome you to add them in the comments at the end of the page.
Visa Cheques

This is a true story that happened to me.
I have a Visa card, like many people do. And from time to time, the Visa company sends in the mail, some promotional cheques. The cheques are tied to your Visa account, and when you use one, it counts like a purchase or a cash advance. They are hoping you will use them to transfer some outstanding balance from another card to your Visa, or perhaps make a large purchase with them. Personally, I never use such cheques, and destroy them as soon as they arrive.
This January I went to England on a vacation. During which time the Visa company sent me some of these pesky promotional cheques.

When I moved my mouse, her mouse would act up and vice versa. It only happened when we both used the mice at the same time. So imagine this scenario if you will:

As a project manager in a software company one of the biggest challenges is to find and keep good people. In the high-tech industry, there is more than enough work to go around for good people and we scramble to find enough people. We (the industry) have plenty of projects with paying customers, and they always want things done yesterday. The challenge is to ramp up a project team with enough talented people to get the job done. The next challenge is to keep your good people from leaving your company for another one.
