Finishing a project you don’t want to work on

Finishing a project you don’t want to work on

Productivity House Cleaning

Productivity House Cleaning

Isn’t it funny how over time different people and things interest you in a different way? For a long time I read Zen Habits each time a new post came out. Then I found that Leo and I were at different stages of life. He moved more into a minimalist phase and I was still […]

Life Lessons From Disney® Frozen (Part 1)

Yesterday, the movie Frozen came out on DVD. We had been to the theater twice to watch it and I kid you not, my 5 year old woke up and said “Good morning Dad… (groggy eyed and stretching while a huge smile spreads across her face) Frozen comes out today and we need to go […]

I found a new app… Surprise right! Well for those of you who know me personally, it won’t be. In this case, it isn’t an app for a mobile device (well not really) but a webapp that integrates with Evernote. Now, as a disclaimer, I’ve not actually used this for realtime work yet (just testing) […]

Inbox Zero!

Inbox Zero!

So today I got a cool surprise. I usually keep my email clean. Just a handful of items in there. Today though I finally responded to a few emails that were just sitting there, and then… See that? No Email… NONE. That doesn’t happen that often and so I thought I’d share some things that […]
