Jeff Perry and GTD Capture
by
Jeff writing for Rocket Panda on Capture: When it comes to GTD, the first thing you are introduced to is the idea of “Capture.” For the most part it’s straightforward. You can’t store your ideas without getting them out of your head, so you need to have a system in place to make it seamless
Newt Scamander and masculinity
by
Very much enjoyed watching this video on Newt and how he shows masculinity in a non-traditional way. I watched the movie and enjoyed it, but I didn’t think of his masculinity on the terms provided. We do need male role models that break out of the typical role model we get stuck with.
Scene On Radio – Men
by
I heard about Scene on Radio when their series on Seeing White came out. It’s on my list to listen to, but I also saw their season on Men was currently going so that’s where I started. Now, I’m a white dude, which puts me at the most advantage possible. The author’s do acknowledge that
The Simple Ivy Lee Method
by
This is from James Clear: I don’t believe there is anything magical about Lee’s number of six important tasks per day. It could just as easily be five tasks per day. However, I do think there is something magical about imposing limits upon yourself. I find that the single best thing to do when you
Patrick on being remarkable
by
I literally just finished editing my review of Talk Triggers and Patrick wrote an excellent post that goes nicely with it.

Phones suck the life out of a room
by
David James Swanson for raptitude: The no-phones policy illuminated something about smartphone use that’s hard to see when it’s so ubiquitous: our phones drain the life out of a room. They give everyone a push-button way to completely disengage their mind from their surroundings, while their body remains in the room, only minimally aware of
Asian Efficiency on OmniFocus
by
Mike writing for AE: The power of a task management system like OmniFocus is that it allows you to filter your tasks instantly and show you only the things you should be thinking about right now. It frees up your brain to focus on what you’re doing instead of trying to keep track of all
Matt D’Avella on working less and making more
by
I’ve been loving Matt’s videos and this one is no exception. Matt talks with Ryan about raising rates and the freedom that was felt when he got his first $10k project. What did it feel like when you finally raised your rates to that level you thought was “crazy”? Also, Matt doesn’t just leave it
Ryder Carrol on thinking on paper
by
I very much enjoyed this short talk by Ryder. Of course, you shouldn’t be surprised by that since I wrote a whole book an Analogue Productivity. This quote also stood out to me. Because something is convenient does not make it efficient. You can watch the video right here
