Taking Journaling to Another Level

I’ve always journaled in some form or another. I did it to either chronicle my day, get thoughts out of my head that needed to be captured elsewhere (but not publicly), or — more recently — to leave something behind for my children to read after I’m gone. I’ve generally journaled at night, prior to […]

Assessing Workflow

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

Assessing Projects

After assessing my priorities first, the next thing to look at during my reassessment were my projects. This took some time as I’ve got many projects in various stages of completion, and the tough part was making sure I placed them in one of the following categories: Pursue: Keep moving forward on the project. Pause:

Assessing Priorities

I recently assessed everything I had going on, and the first place I decided to look was the aspect of my life that would have the greatest impact on my projects and workflow: my priorities. By reassessing priorities first, the rest of the assessment becomes more aligned not only with where I am now…but with

Winding Down the Week

This week has been a full one, which included a ton of writing yesterday. It was also a week full of happenings elsewhere, and I thought I’d shine a bit of a spotlight on them in this post. The Better Guy Show Gary Miller of A Better Guy was kind enough to have me on

The Friday Five: 5 Apps Worth Checking Out

I thought I’d try something new here. I’m calling it The Friday Five, and on the first Friday of every month I’ll list 5 apps that I think are worth some of your time and attention. At first, the focus will be on iOS, Mac, and web apps, but as time goes by I’ll hopefully

Using Energy Levels as Contexts

Most of the time my work doesn’t feel like “work” at all. But I know that it is because there are times when it definitely does. Like the times when I have to write when I don’t feel like writing. But those moments come few and far between. Still, there are things I have in

Fifteen Days

It’s been fifteen days since I posted something here. Fifteen days have come and gone, with a ton of things coming toward me and needing processing. I’m at the point now where I can put some of these things into words, but here’s what I’m not going to touch on too much this time around

In the Moment at the World Domination Summit

I haven’t been writing very much lately due to my travelling, and this weekend while at the World Domination Summit has been no exception. I’m currently sitting in Michael Schechter’s hotel room writing this…a room where we have recorded two episodes of Mikes on Mics. We’re both sipping some dandy scotch, getting whatever words we

Thursday Triage

I rarely try to encompass a whole bunch of goings-on in one post, but a lot happened during my travels so I’m going to make this post an exception to the rule. Sketchnote Typeface I’ve talked about my love and appreciation for “sketchnotes” before, and last week Mike Rohde (author of The Sketchnote Handbook) released
