In the past two years, I have used several interns and find them invaluable for getting those pesky details of projects done. Make sure you say in your ad description what they need to be successful with you (eg – a computer with internet access, a nice phone voice, computer skills, etc.). I have paid some, but not all.

If we are lacking in time-management skills it could take away from the time and love we get to share with our families.

It’s that simple of an equation.

This makes sense, because the alternative is for behavioral insights to be tried out by individuals or specific departments, and their knowledge and skill are likely to vary: Someone in marketing might use their behavioral knowledge to develop more-effective campaigns, while at the same time someone in HR uses theirs to focus on employee engagement.
