by
Welcome to 2018, it can be a good one if you’re willing to do the work. I don’t make any resolutions for the year, though I do use the regular downtime during The Holiday’s to plan what my year is going to look like, and to start a new notebook. Along with that new notebook…
@avclark on what seems to work for him productively
by
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re all wired differently and we’re so much happier and more productive if we play to our strengths rather than try to conform to some external system. Via my friend Adam on Medium. This is true. All I can do is tell you what has been working…
Not GTD But Find Something Worth Doing from @austinkleon

And maybe stop worrying so much about productivity and getting things done. Worry about things worth doing. Austin Kleon speaking about his productivity advice.

The Best Marketing According to @danblank

Great post from Dan on the best marketing being creating. I absolutely agree and despite putting out 215k words last year and 2 books, I’m looking to up my output this year as well. You’ll see one new book come out on Tuesday. Maybe another one for February and quite possibly a third for March.…

@jaltucher and @ryanholiday talk about books and creating
by
This was a great podcast episode I listened to first on my morning run and then again to do some more focused thinking. It is easier than ever to publish a book and it does mean that many crappy books are coming out. I think some of my early books were in that realm and…

A Reminder on Quality by @shawnblanc
by
This is a struggle for most creators. Do we pump out more content or ‘better’ content. What is better content anyway? I’ll be talking more with my email list about this in the coming weeks as I look at what type of content they want. Do they want shorter stuff, link posts, 20k word pieces…
