Managing Time Like Money
I’ve really been thinking a lot about future vs. present, ever since reading The Time Paradox. Do you live every day like it’s your last, do you save everything for the future, or do you find a happy medium? One of the conclusions that I’ve come to, which might be blatantly obvious to everyone but…

Why I Don’t Buy Apple Products
This won’t quite be the Apple bashing that people probably expect. To start off, I don’t hate Apple. I think that they’re a spectacular company that does a lot of very smart things. I think that they build relatively high quality products and do a good job of supporting them. Even if I don’t buy…

Life Nomadic Book Coming Soon
A week ago I was rooting through my projects folder and I came across something that I had somehow forgotten: a full length book I wrote about Life Nomadic. I gave it a quick read-through and thought, “man… there’s some great stuff in here! Why didn’t I release it?” So, I’m going to release it…

Quitting BTYB?
Maybe by definition, but not in spirit. I’ve been thinking a lot about BTYB / LN over the past couple weeks, which lead to the survey from yesterday (please take a minute to fill it out if you haven’t already). Tonight I had a conversation about all this with Carl Zetterlund, a long time reader…

Better Procrastinating
I have a big project I’m working on (secret for now, haven’t decided if I should write about it yet or not), and I’ve been seriously procrastinating. It’s not that I don’t want to do it. It’s something I arrived at myself, is very inline with my Life Nomadic goals, and will be very exciting…

The Dip, and How to Figure Out What to Do With Your Life
On the second day that I was visiting her in Toronto, Annie brought back a pile of books from the library. On the top was a tiny book with a cover so simple that it looked like it might be a children’s book about potty training. Then I read the subheader. “A little book that…

Shortroping
I’m beginning to think that my speaking engagement at UK was partially a ploy to get me to come on an adventure with Luke, the guy who arranged it, and his friends. If that’s the case, I hope that I’m involved in many more ploys. My flight was diverted, delayed, rescheduled, and rerouted. In the…

Be Excellent
I’m trying to write something personal improvement related every Monday and a story every Wednesday. I hope these are interesting to people, because I generally think that most personal improvement articles are relatively useless. Every couple weeks I scan through lifehacker.com, and inevitably think “Man… this is a lot of useless junk.” Now… I’ve definitely…

Life Nomadic Day 1
Life Nomadic has begun. Six months of not particularly careful planning and a full week of hectic scrambling to rid ourselves of nearly every earthly possesion has paid off. As I write our first post for Life Nomadic, Todd’s in the next seat over editing our first video. The kid behind me is pounding on…
