Bring The Noise
Here are some other ways I break the silence and still move forward with my work.
Review: 1Password 4 for Mac
Having a password management tool in your arsenal is a huge productivity booster, and I’ve been putting 1Password 4 for Mac through the paces for a while. Today it arrives in the Mac App Store, meaning the transition to version 4 on the Apple side of things is now complete. I’ve been using the iOS
Begin Before Bed
This isn’t new advice, but it definitely needs reinforcing from time to time. Not only do you need to close off your day before going to bed, you need to begin the next one. The key to doing that without having tomorrow weigh on your mind as you try to sleep is to begin the
Revisiting My OS X Email App of Choice

Review: The Authentic Swing by Steven Pressfield
Steven Pressfield has hit another home run with this short — yet incredibly impactful — read. Or rather, he’s hit a hole in one. Let me explain. The Authentic Swing is one of the few books I’ve read that uses golf as a means of relaying important life lessons and strategies. The other one that
The Perils of “Binge Productivity”
I’ve noticed lately that due to my propensity to schedule “heavy lifting” days and “light lifting” days that the heavy ones seemed to be getting heavier and the light ones not all that much lighter. When that happens, there’s the danger of burnout — and I’ve felt on the edge of it for the past
