What’s up with productivity?

By on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 | No Comments

As I write these words, I am contemplating two blog posts. The first, which inspired this writing, was a post by Cal Newport at http://bit.ly/J16l4k called Welcome to the Post-Productivity World.

My wife, Donna, and I live in a modest house that we own. About 1600 square feet. But until recently, it felt smaller than that  – a lot smaller. We didn’t set out to fix that problem; not really. We had someone come in to remodel things cosmetically, to make the house feel more comfortable […]

By on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 | No Comments

I was going to post a video tonight about goals and priorities. But a funny thing happened on the way to a video.  I ran into technical difficulties. And while I’m sure I’ll iron them out, I’m not going to iron them out tonight. At least it’s not the financial fiasco that Disney had with […]
