Todoist List Filters – a hack for giving your filter groups a title
A few weeks ago I learned (from this awesome post) that in Todoist (my referral link) you can create filters with multiple criteria by separating the criteria with commas. I created a filter on my mobile app (I wanted to group small, medium, and large tasks for today). label:Large & today, today & label:Medium, today…

Valuing the work and service you provide
(This is a series of posts exploring my goals and direction for life…) In my last post, I came to the conclusion that in the first job I ever did for money, I undervalued the service I was giving. Where has this led me? Value of hard work I love to work hard. I love…

Why don’t I like selling or supporting products I create?
(This is a series of posts exploring my goals and direction for life…) In my last post I came to realize that a lot of my problems with work outside of my job (although I wager it plays a role there too) is that when I create something, I don’t like to sell it OR…

The Purpose Driven Life
(Random thoughts as I try to figure out where I am heading and what I’m supposed to really do with my life.) I think there is a book on that topic. In fact, I’ve probably read (or listened to) it. That being said, I’ve been contemplating this for a while. I read a lot (and…

Finishing a project you don’t want to work on
Recently I completed a project that was on my list forever. To be honest I didn’t want to do it. I had a drain in my bathtub that needed to be replaced. The plug didn’t work but it was mostly aesthetic. The problem was I looked at it EVERY DAY and though “I really should…

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…

TaskClone – get todo items out of evernote
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!
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…
