La Revedere, 2013
I’m always amazed at just how much happens in a year. At the end of each year, grateful for a gimme topic to write about, I sit down to write this post. And each time my first thought is, “Yeah, but not that much happened this year.” Then I go through my archive for the…

Sticking to It Works
I think that we all know what works and what doesn’t work, but in order to avoid doing the work, we come up with fake stories about what works. How do you make progress? You stick with it. There are other things that matter, of course, but the big one is whether or not you…

Investing Time vs. Spending Time
If I ask you how you spend your money, that’s a very different question than if I ask how you invest your money. Your goals for spending and investing are different, and as a result your actions for each are different. So isn’t it strange that we talk about how we spend time, but we…

Things I’m Not Going to Write About Today
Life has been crazy lately, and I haven’t seen my daily writing habit in months. I have a hundred blog posts written, but I forget exactly where they are, and I remember thinking none of them were amazing. So I’m in that position that I created that habit to get out of: it’s the night…

Why Obsess About Productivity?
A guy on Twitter asked a pretty good question the other day: “Why do you worship productivity so much? Honestly? (I am currently sitting at a ski hill with an ear-to-ear grin from powder turns.)” I gave him an answer, but I think the question deserves an answer longer than one hundred forty characters. Something…

Learn to Get Things Done
I have a group of friends that I have dinner with every Sunday. One of them owns a chocolate factory / cafe called Dandelion Chocolate, and another owns Three Babes Bakeshop (side note: best chocolate and pies ever, respectively). Once in a while the conversations swings to business, and the rest of us get a…

Comfort is the Opposite of Training
Being comfortable should be a warning sign. It’s not that being comfortable is a bad thing by itself, but if we agree that growth comes from pushing your comfort zone, then any time we’re within our comfort zone we’re not growing. Whenever you find that you’re comfortable, ask yourself what you aren’t training. The answer…
