Meeting Tokens, for creating time scarcity
Merlin Mann | Oct 19 2007
My pal, Mike Monteiro, is making good on his idea to try giving his team Meeting Tokens.
Previously mentioned in this post about re-creating scarcity and, in more detail, in my IDEO talk. Can't wait to hear how it goes. I love me some scarcity. Update, 2007-10-19 10:18 PT: Mike says he's going to produce these as handsome wooden tokens that will soon be available for sale in sets on the Mule Feed Store. Update 2007-10-20 14:52 PT: Mike adds "The Red Merlin" to the mix.
I'm honored.

I love the idea of making my time worth something to my fellow co-workers. However, I think for large projects involving writers, designers, developers, marketers, management, etc. you will cook through all of your tokens very quickly just getting the project rolling. I can also see management not putting up with the token restrictions. "I'm your boss, I don't need to use a token to talk to you." Or am I just crazy? » POSTED IN:
