I have worked in three countries and it’s the same everywhere. A-list agencies, B-list agencies, those who win awards, those who don’t, who you know, what shows you judge etc. Advertising is full of snobs because deep down we all doubt our objective worth.

World Wide is hiring for analysts/consultants, review: pay and WLB is great (never had to work weekends in 3 years), some projects are more exciting than others, but great people. Let me know if interested.

There’s been some posts on the best planning tools (e.g. planners, calendars, etc.), but my question is how do ppl make sure they use them? I get them and am excited about the possibility of them helping for about a week then I just stop using it. Even if I find it helpful I just never stay consistent with it. Does this happen to others? Any tricks or suggestions to stay consistent using planners, to do lists, calendars, etc.
