There’s Always Time for Giving Thanks

Today I sent an update to those who have subscribed to The Front Nine newsletter containing an excerpt of the book, due to hit the virtual shelves later this Fall. After reading it again this morning, I realized that I sent it out on Thanksgiving (which is being observed here in Canada today) and it […]

The Gradual Death of Eventualism

The very thing that brought me to where I’m at today is dead. Not so much because I’m killing it (which I’d discussed possibly doing in a previous post), but because it has died of what would amount to “natural causes”. Today marks the end of my first ever entry into the productivity realm, the

How to Stop Time

One of the biggest barriers when it comes to productivity is the notion that we simply “don’t have enough time”. With all of the responsibilities and flow of communication and information coming our way, there’s good reason that this notion exists – and his held by many. But there’s a way to escape that notion.

Reaction Time is a Factor

I’m still in travel mode, so I’m still offering guest posts over the next couple of weeks on a regular basis. Today’s guest post is by Christopher Mackay.

The Genre of Productivity: The Next Big Thing On The Web

The following is a guest post by Dan Gordon. He is a fourth generation jeweler and President of Samuel Gordon Jewelers in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. So based on that…why did I ask him to write a guest post? Well, I wanted him to expand upon his thoughts he had shared with my podcast co-host (and

The Priority Puzzle

This week I put my nose to the grindstone to try to get as much done ahead of time as possible so I could spend my time at BlogWorld in New York City actually being at BlogWorld in New York City. In doing so, I managed to get a lot of posts scheduled for both

7 Minutes

Since it’s all I have left in my MacBook Air’s battery charge, I have to ask: What can be done in 7 minutes? Not a ton of important stuff, but you certainly can lay the groundwork for some important stuff with that limit put in place. If you keep GTD in mind, then in 7

Goodbye Google: Ridding Myself of Google Reader

In this installment of the Goodbye Google series, I tackle one of the more daunting missions: finding a way to read my RSS feeds on all my platforms without having to use Google Reader as the ultimate source. It’s important to note that I do almost all of my RSS reading on my iPad, and

How I Use Evernote

I’ve had Evernote on all of my Macs (and iOS devices) since it first came to market, but I never really dove into using it too much until my friend Brett Kelly delivered the goodness that is known as Evernote Essentials. It really opened up my eyes as to what this powerful software-as-a-service solution could
