Is Blogging making a Comeback?
by
Good points from Bojan about the rising costs of getting your message out on Facebook or other social platforms. Clearly I never left blogging and continue to see benefits from it in the form all but one of my paying clients learning about me initially through this site. So I guess that’s about 80 –…
Apple News+ doesn’t respect you
by
Matthew Cassinelli has a point about the copious notifications that Apple News+ oh so helpfully provides. I have all my notifications of so I don’t see that, but I do see ads to purchase Apple News+. I have already purchased this and I’m signed into that account. Seems that Apple just doesn’t respect my time…
What if Your Energy Were Finite
by
If you had a finite amount of energy to use up and when it was gone you died, what would you not bother with? Would you worry about things you can’t change? Would you drop those clients that are stressing you out? Would you be doing much of anything that you are doing now? Prompted…
Navigating Working with Your Spouse
by
I’m reading a bunch about being the spouse of an entrepreneur and one passage stuck out to me today from Start, Love, Repeat: Working together, even if it’s with the best of intentions and the most hopeful expectations, will likely create additional tension in your relationship. There are that many more things, on top of…
Freelance Friday 051 – April 19 2019
by
Recovery from surgery has been decent, but dang it’s hard to stay focused at work when your 5-year-old is up having an “adventure” in her bedroom until 12:30 at night. Evidently she found fossils and a new dinosaur between us parents going in there and telling her to get in bed and not to jump…
The Time to Create Something Meaningful
by
From Jerzy Gregorek in Tribe of Mentors Nothing truly meaningful has ever been created in a short period of time. If you learn the story behind any great success, you realize how many years went by and how many hard choices were made to achieve it. That does raise the question: Does your quest for…
What Does It Take to Have a Miracle Morning
by
Who wouldn’t want to wake up and have the best day they’ve ever had…every day. The thought of waking up and starting your day so that you achieve your maximum potential and can reliably reproduce this effect is appealing isn’t it. That morning that jump starts your day, every day, is what The Miracle Morning…
The Sweet Setup on the BookArc
by
Yup it looks cool but this stood out to me: At this point, I’m not sure if I’m more productive using only one display while working at home, but I’m certainly not less productive. Josh uses multiple monitors at work and a single at home citing its so easy to “just check” stuff with all…

On the Benefits of Touch for Adults and Kids
by
I knew about the baby stuff, but not the benefits for adults. An initial small study, published in the journal Pediatrics in 1986, showed that just 10 days of “body stroking and passive movements of the limbs” for less than an hour led babies to grow 47 percent faster. They averaged fewer days in the…
