Getting into Flow

Last month I began a series of posts outlining my transition from task management software solution OmniFocus to one of the newest players on the market, Flow. If you’re not aware of Flow, give Back to Work a listen as Merlin Mann and Dan Benjamin have been discussing it (Flow has sponsored some recent episodes […]

Talking is Dead: Number 23

While all of my hype has been around a certain new podcast that I launched this week, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention another podcast I co-host with my pal Anth1 that just reached its 23rd episode. I’m talking about Talking is Dead.2 While it isn’t always short, it’s definitely a sweet offering. I

Things on My Mac That I Love, Things On My Mac That I Don’t

I love my Mac. And I make no apologies for that. That said, there are things on my Mac that I love and then there things on my Mac that I don’t.1 I’m not going to offer the “whys” on either front in this piece — I’ll explain some of them over the next several

My alter-ego is going to love this. I think I’m going to dig it, too. (via kottke.org)

The Virgin PROJECT

Magazines have been taking a bit of a beating on the iPad lately. But if there’s one that’s getting it right, it’s Virgin’s PROJECT Magazine. It’s as if PROJECT Magazine is not just taking the magazine to the iPad, but the in-flight magazine to the iPad. Each issue reads like a hybrid of the best

Announcing ProductiVardy – A Productivity Podcast with Personality

Admittedly, the last two months have been, well, insane. And incredibly so. Between my hectic travel schedule, doing my darndest to balance “stay-at-home-dad-hood” and writing when I can (as opposed to when I was supposed to), it has been a challenge to say the least. So what better time to announce a new project than
