I am a big fan of Steve Pavlina's articles.

Learned a lot from it.
Most of all his productivity skills and insights.

And I find it too bad that now chess is coming up.

If I have any gifts and talents than it is in chess.

But I don't like that game anymore. And I don't develop my skillset anymore.. Although I know I have capabilities to become a master (at least fide master).

It's not real life.

And for me, it belongs to the catagory of reading news, reading too much email, forums etc.

I can imagine for people who have reached everything in life can enjoy spending some time with this.

But I believe for most of us it is a huge time waster.

Just my 2 cents.

Still a fan though (and donator!)
