Today, as Google unleashed Google Drive unto the world,1 I’m wrapping up my Goodbye Google series. To recap, here’s what I’ve covered over the past several weeks: I waded gently into the waters by taking some baby steps away from some of Google’s smaller services. I attempted to leave Gmail in the dust. I tried […]
I wrote about some adjustments I’ve made to my Asana workflow last week, and this week on Mikes on Mics we touched on the app that our guest Patrick Rhone had a hand in, Pop. And while I’ve known how I planned to use Asana from the onset, I wasn’t entirely sure how I’d fit

For those of you unfamiliar with this time management/productivity technique, here it is broken down into its basic steps: Choose a task. Set a timer to 25 minutes.
