Blog to write, tweet to fight
by
I met many people through Twitter who became and remain important collaborators and friends. But the salad days of “blog to reflect, tweet to connect” are gone. Long gone. Over the last year, especially, it has seemed much more like “blog to write, tweet to fight.” – Back to the Blog I never left and…
@MaddyOsman and the girl power desk
by
Always fun to see how others work. I just couldn’t do a desk that is so narrow. Would drive me bonkers. I need that USB charging station in at least two spots in my house. Neither of them is my desk though since I rarely allow devices to reside at my desk during work. I…
The ONLY Thing You Don’t Let Get Away from your is Family
by
To achieve an extraordinary result you must choose what matters most and give it all the time it demands. This requires getting extremely out of balance in relation to all other work issues, with only infrequent counterbalancing to address them. – The One Thing Tom and his social media sabbatical Say no to the hustle…
Keeping in Touch
by
There were some good musicians (but not amazing musicians) who where great at keeping in touch. So when opportunities came my way, guess who I thought of to recommend? – Keep in Touch I find this as well. The people that I’m coaching end up getting almost all the referrals I have because I talk…
@patrickrhone on time
by
The difference is how we choose to spend that time. There may be some very valid reasons why you choose to spend your 24 hours differently than how I choose mine. And, there are some things we all have to choose in order to simply stay alive. We all need to sleep, at some point,…

@shawnblanc on Free Agents Podcast
by
I’ve worked with Shawn on his sites for a while and even before that I was a fan of his writing. He was just on the Free Agents Show and the thing that stuck out to me was his work and rest routine. He talked more about how it happens week in week out. Specifically…
Pick blog ideas like cheese
by
Once a week, usually Saturdays, I look through the list and pick two or three notes with the same strategy used when buying cheese: pick something interesting and different but not too smelly or old. – My Blogging Workflow Yup, I laughed out loud at this sentence, and really I do the same thing in…
Paper Planners or Drowning in Apps?
by
I use a paper planner for my personal needs. There is no digital tool for managing internal projects it’s all on paper. The only digital tools I use are for collaborating with clients and to manage my appointments so I don’t have to check and wrangle email. Even then, all appointments make it back into…
Don’t join the pity party
by
Since human beings are inherently social, our brains naturally and unconsciously mimic the moods of those around us, particularly people we spend a great deal of time with. This process is called neuronal mirroring, and it’s the basis for our ability to feel empathy. The flip side, however, is that it makes complaining a lot…
