Sister Sites

The ideas presented in our sister sites Overwork Underwork, Patient Listening, and Joy of Talking relate to a person's daily life, whether personal or professional. We believe it is possible to address these questions more effectively with innovative and sometimes unconventional approaches through online, phone, as well as personal contact.

Each of these sites provides opportunities for meeting new people. Moreover, being in the company of others with similar goals and interests can create new perspectives for old problems.
