This was the first thing I heard today, so rather than write anything of my own I thought I’d share the words with you. These are the lyrics from the song “Change Your Mind” by the band Sister Hazel, a song that is always close at hand for me…and might be a good one for […]

Stuff. Things. To-dos. They are all on our plates…every day. Some are big, some are small. Some are project-sized, some are bite-sized. Some have been started but not finished…yet. Some have been started and will never be finished. When you have too much of these “somes”, then you had best keep an eye on them.

Lots going on with yours truly this week. A whole lot of lots. Posting here has been fairly regular (although not as regular as I’d like) and the book is in its final stages (which is a really good thing). Lifehack is keeping me pretty busy, but apparently not busy enough because I’ve got a

One of the big things about traveling across several time zones – and then coming back after only a short period of time – is that the attempts to stick to your own time zone becomes all the more necessary. I find it takes at least two days to get used to the new time

This week I’m visiting my old stomping grounds of Southern Ontario with my son on a brief (yet much-needed) trip. So if you’re located in the Hamilton-Brantford-Toronto area and want to hang out sometime before Sunday, I’m game to do so. I’m currently plotting out my week, so drop me a line and let me
