I wrote this piece today…and then posted it shortly thereafter. I don’t normally do that. Up until I started writing it, I had no idea what I was going to write about today. Sure, I had ideas of what I could write about today, but I didn’t actually feel like writing any of those. Today […]
I started to give my workflow a good look during my reassessment — and then I listened to Matt Alexander on Bionic #57 discussing the very idea of workflows. Matt’s always made a lot of sense (my buddy Michael Schechter goes into things a little deeper in this post over at Workflowing), so I began
