I don’t care about being efficient and productive just to be a better person, to get more done, to be more awesome. Cranking out more stuff for productivity’s sake doesn’t interest me anymore (it used to). Today, I care about productivity only as it affects my mission. I’m on a mission to change the world, … Continue reading Essential Meaningful Productivity
Applications I Use
I'm going to geek it out a bit today. A few of my friends have asked me what tools and applications I use for getting things done and to be productive. I use quite a bit.

Imagine your house was messy (hard to picture, I know), because you kept putting off little things like putting away your clothes, washing your dishes, throwing things away, putting things where they belong, sorting … Continue reading How I Cleaned House & Simplified My Work Life

This is from OnlineBusinessDegree.Org through the kind contribution of Allison Morris. This is a great infographic on the power of taking breaks. Leo Baubata has written about it extensively, and I use Francesco Cirillo's Pomodoro Technique, which is a great marriage of work and break. And we have an innate sense of that.
