Jason Fried: Why Work Doesn't Happen at Work</h2>
<div>
Jason Fried, co founder of 37signals, did a TED talk to explain his theory
that work rarely happens at work. He believes that the office isn't necessarily
the best place for people to achieve success in their work and gives some good
advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.<br />
<strong>Making the Most of Work</strong><br />
Jason theorises that the office environment is often counter productive to
successful working practises, and suggests that many people would work more
efficiently when left to their own devices. He claims that social networks such
as Twitter and Facebook aren’t the real problems when it comes to office
workers struggling to work. He claims that the real problems are what he calls
the M&Ms, the Managers and the Meetings.<br />
Watch the video to get clued up about Fried's theory and how you can apply
it to your own business.<br />

Are you playing safe? The internet is the ideal forum for learning, communicating and making connections, however safeguarding your online privacy should be a very real concern in this digital day and age.<br><br>
<h2>Do Not Forget the Basics: Scott Assemakis</h2>
Complex passwords, which use a seemingly random collection of characters, remain a crucial part of keeping your identity safe. Install security software and keep it updated to protect against keystroke logging programs. Save any sensitive or important documents on a USB drive rather than in cloud based services, such as Google Drive.<br><br>
<h2>Think About Wi-Fi Connections: Scott Assemakis</h2>
When you're travelling for business or working remotely, you’ll most likely find yourself using public or hotel Wi-Fi spots. Ensure that your connection is safe by downloading software like <a href="http://www.anchorfree.com/" target="_blank"/>AnchorFree's Hotspot Shield</a>. A virtual private network that masks your IP address and is great for adding additional security for when you’re on the go.<br><br>
<h2>Consider Encryption</h2>
Keep your entire sensitive information safe, and make it much harder for people to invade your privacy, with the help of free encryption software. Services such as <a href="https://silentcircle.com/" target="_blank"/>Silent Circle</a> and <a href="http://www.voltage.com/" target="_blank"/>Voltage Security</a> can be a good place to start.<br><br>
<h2>Cleaning Up After Yourself</h2>
Of course, even if you're conscious of your privacy online, there's a good chance that you weren't always. Tools such as SafeShepherd.com can help you clean up after yourself by searching for places online that store any of your personal details, making it easier for you to have these issues addressed.<br><br>
