Welcome to Week Two of the Lifehack Great Big Summer Giveaway. Last week we talked about home life, relaxation, and generally getting things together outside of work. This week, we’re going to the office, or wherever you work, to get your best ideas about making your work life work for you. Today, I want to talk about style. Fashion, personality, creative expression – all the things that we bring to work – even if they’re not actually part of our work – that let everyone around us know who we are. What’s your take on workplace fashion – how do you balance the need to appear “professional” with the need to express yourself? How do you demonstrate your creativity in your work – and your workspace? I’m going to ask you to tell us about all that – but first, let’s talk about today’s prize, the incredibly stylish JoJo laptop tote from the equally stylish CareerBags.com.

How do you win?
To win a JoJo Laptop Tote for your own career, write a blog post about work and fashion, professionalism and self-expression, comformity and creativity and post the link in the comments section on this post. Your post should be at least 200 words, and should mention this contest – a link isn’t essential, though we’d appreciate it! Don’t have a blog? Well, if you’ve always thought about blogging but haven’t taken the plunge yet, now’s the time. Have a look at my Newbie’s Guide to Blogging for inspiration and to help you get started. Or post your thoughts to your MySpace page, or your profile for some other service. Still not excited about blogging? Ok, then write your ideas up on Google Docs or Adobe’s Buzzword and make the document publicly viewable. Whatever you do, be sure to come back to this page and leave a link in the comments — it’s the only way we’ll have an email address to contact the winner! The winner will be chosen by random drawing from everyone who has left a link in the comments on this post by 12:00 Noon PST on Tuesday, September 2nd. The drawing will be done by random number generator within a few days of the close of the drawing. All links will be verified. The prize will be sent direct from our sponsor.
