A Look Back at VoxPopCon 2013

Anthony Marco has quite the event on his hands…should he continue to foster it going forward. Last month I returned to where I grew up — Hamilton, Ontario — to be part of VoxPopCon, an event that could be best described as a storytelling conference. Sure, there were elements of technology and new media thrown […]

Using Energy Levels as Contexts

Most of the time my work doesn’t feel like “work” at all. But I know that it is because there are times when it definitely does. Like the times when I have to write when I don’t feel like writing. But those moments come few and far between. Still, there are things I have in

Making Meditation Accessible

I’m big on mindful productivity, and this morning I took the ten minutes needed to watch this TED talk by Andy Puddicombe. Then I took ten minutes later on to do what he suggests in the video below. I hope you’ll do the same.

The Flagging of Tasks

On Episode 40 of Generational, Eric Hess explained how he flags his tasks in OmniFocus: “….of all of my list of things that are next to do, these are the things that actually I want to focus on today. They are simply ways to highlight individual tasks.” Flagging can be done in a variety of

A Look Back at The 2013 World Domination Summit

Three weeks later, I’m ready to share my 2013 World Domination Summit experience. To be clear, I can’t possibly share that much of it — this is an event that everyone needs to experience to fully appreciate it. But I’ll do my best, as I’ve done for the past two years before this one. I’ve

The Productivityist Workbook: Now on Amazon!

Today I’m pleased to announce that The Productivityist Workbook is now available directly from Amazon. It’s priced a little bit less than the version sold here . It’s only $2.99 through Amazon because you’ll only be getting the MOBI version. (That said, it does include a download link within its pages so that readers can

Fifteen Days

It’s been fifteen days since I posted something here. Fifteen days have come and gone, with a ton of things coming toward me and needing processing. I’m at the point now where I can put some of these things into words, but here’s what I’m not going to touch on too much this time around

In the Moment at the World Domination Summit

I haven’t been writing very much lately due to my travelling, and this weekend while at the World Domination Summit has been no exception. I’m currently sitting in Michael Schechter’s hotel room writing this…a room where we have recorded two episodes of Mikes on Mics. We’re both sipping some dandy scotch, getting whatever words we

How I Get Daily Reading Done on My Original iPad

It’s official: Google Reader is dead. That’s fine, because I’ve been using Feed Wrangler for a while now, and really like it. I’ve been waiting for Reeder support, and that arrived today (at least for the iPhone), but that doesn’t really help me on my 1st generation iPad. Since I use my iPad as my
