Superhuman Event #1
I’ve mentioned a few times wanting to do a live event, but what keeps me from setting a date and doing it is how many different ideas I have on formats and sizes. So, I’m going to just pick a date, see who signs up, and tailor the event to the number of people and…

Gratitude 2017
I like writing my annual gratitude post, mostly because it’s an easy one. I have a ton of things to be grateful for, and I like talking about those things. Fairly frequently, often at night before I go to sleep, I make a mental account of the things for which I’m grateful. I never make…

Life Work Balance
I think a lot about work life balance on cruises because all of the noise is stripped away from life when you’re on the ship. There are no errands, few interruptions, and no chores. You’re left with the resources to do whatever you want, from work to sitting at the pool all day. When work…

The Most Important Daily Task
What’s the most important thing on which you could spend your time right now? Really think about it, don’t just keep skimming. Maybe it’s a work thing, maybe it’s an errand, maybe it’s spending time with someone important, maybe it’s finally starting a new important habit. Or maybe you don’t know? It’s not always obvious…

What Other People Think
As I help more people work through their sticking points through coaching, I’ve noticed that a surprisingly large factor in many peoples’ lives is how others perceive them.

I think that there are few absolute black and white rules which should be followed by everyone. After all, we’re all different with different priorities and resources. What’s right for me may not be right for you, and, in fact, what was right for me ten years ago may not be right for me now.…

Making Big Decisions Good Decisions
When standing on the precipice of making a big decision, it’s natural to wonder whether or not you’re making a mistake. It’s easy to imagine that each imaginary path through our future leads to an entirely different place, and that by following one the other disappears completely. But that’s not really how it works. Big…

My Low Monthly Burn Broken Down
I’ve referenced my potential low monthly burn rate a few times, and people keep asking me questions about it, so I’m going to go into more detail using real life numbers. It’s important to note that I don’t actually spend this little every month, most months, or really even any months. The point is that…

How I Prioritize
I’ve realized that I prioritize in a pretty different way than others. I don’t know that my way is the best way for everyone, but by sharing it I think I may at least expose a few ideas that will be useful for others. One of my very top priorities is self sufficiency. Not in…

First Solo Week on the Island
Due to somewhat bungled plans and a cheap flight available to Halifax, I randomly decided to go to the island for a week by myself. Even though the bones of the cabin were pretty much finished by the last time I left, it wasn’t fully bug or water proof, so I was eager to go…
