These are the posts (in no particular order) I found to be most intereting this week:

1. 9 Things we learned about us in 2009 - LiveScience.Com has published a list of 9 scientific discoveries made during 2009. One of the discoveries mentioned in the article is (surprise, surprise) the realization that multitasking, when executed by less disciplined individuals, can cause an extrapolated loss of time due to focus on irrelevant and unproductive information. Those who are mildly familiar with the Theory Of Constraints and the rationale behind this theory wouldn’t need this scientific evidence to substantiate their understanding, but it is, nevertheless, nice to see that science is finally catching up!
2. Dilbert strip – re. Action Points – just in case you haven’t caught up yet on the importance of documenting and following up on decisions made during your meetings, this Dilbert Comic Strip will help you look at this issue from the right perspective.
3. Deconstructing the PM 2.0 Description – Glen Alleman is relentless in his efforts to demystify, or more correctly clarify, myth from reality regarding on-going PM 2.0 claims. This article is a must for anyone wondering what the fass is all about. Glen’s bottom line is that if you are a seasoned PM who’s been doing things right, then there is nothing new for you in the PM 2.0 band wagon. And if you’re not doing it right now, PM 2.0 will not save you either.
4. Not sure how to title this one – but it’s a sharp Papercut, do I need to say any more?
5. Project Management Certifications Compared- A Preliminary Comparison – a beautifully researched article reviewing the various program/project management certifications and providing, for the first time as much as I can ascertain, a method for comparing them with each other.
6. The Decade in Management Ideas – A few HBR editors have elected in this post their most influential management ideas of the millennium (so far).  My pick off their list would be the proliferation of Open Source.

I’ve read many other good posts but these ones, I believe, worth mentioning specifically.
