Do Your Tools Serve You?
by
The problem is not the technology itself, it’s how we choose to use the technology. Is it serving us or are we serving it? – In The Future, Our Attention Will Be Sold Does your phone serve you? I know most of you are going to try and pass off a ‘yes’. Really, when you’re…
Are you leaving poop in your wake?
by
What level of service do you provide? Is it amazing or is it adequate or is it terrible? Over the last two years, we’ve hired two different house/dog sitters. Our first was good. The dog was alive and tired out and the house was clean. The second was…barely adequate. Two weeks later we’re still trying…
Get the Behaviour You Want with Your Kids, and no drama
by
A few weeks ago, I had a terrible parenting night. I yelled at my daughter. She was in tears; I was in tears once she finally was in bed. Worse, three days later she did something every kid does, she was a bit defiant, and I was instantly angry. I was still worked up over…
A Better Life With SWAP
by
I love getting out in the mountains and I listen to lots of podcast around running/mountain stuff. I was just listening to a great episode of The Ginger Runner with David and Megan Roche. In it they talked about their SWAP philosophy. That stands for Some Work All Play. Your work should have an element…
Looking at 2Do as an OmniFocus Replacement
by
While we all need to be careful about succumbing to shiny object syndrome when it comes to applications and workflows, but there is often something to learn from them. Case in point is my experience with 2Do as I was trying out SetApp. By default, 2Do filters out tasks that are set to start at…
The Quality of Your Life Is NOT Dependent on The Quality of Your Productivity
by
I’ll say that again. The quality of your life is not reduced by the quality of your productivity. – You Don’t Have to Be Prolific to Accomplish Your Blogging Dreams Funny I highlight this as I email you daily and post them to my blog daily. I’m nothing if not prolific. In fact this year…
Stop purchasing crap
by
In a sense, marketers know us better than we know ourselves. They feed on our insecurities and feelings of inadequacy. Society hijacks our passion and directs it toward material things. But nobody gets to the end of life wishing they had bought more things. – The More of Less I’ve actually seen the quest for…
Kids are the worst clients
by
While talking with a friend recently (HI TimTim), I came across the idea that kids are the worst client. If you’re running a business and your spouse/partner is watching the kids, they spend most of their day dealing with the worst clients. They complain about putting on their shoes. They fight about getting out the…
Does Squash Add Value to SetApp?
by
SetApp has been around for a bit and is interesting. It takes a number of popular Mac Applications and bundles them in to a single inexpensive monthly subscription. Out of the gate some of the awesome applications are Ulysses and ForkLift 2. But I have a great Markdown editor and I don’t see anything in…
Is Average Over? What will it take to make your way?
by
I regularly say, “who wants to be average anyway”? Usually, the answer is no one because average is broken. Average is purchasing things you can’t afford to impress people you don’t like. So maybe that’s why I purchased Average is Over by Tyler Cowen? Maybe it was the fact that I’ve heard Malcolm Gladwell say…
