How Do You Design Your Day?
Most people design their day around habits they’ve been told are “good.” Be disciplined about all of it! And when it doesn’t work, they assume the problem is them. But what if the issue isn’t discipline at all? What if it’s design? Over time, I’ve learned that people don’t fail at productivity. They fail at…

What You’re Pretending Not to Notice Is Still Running Your Business & Life
Most people think their biggest barriers are external: Difficult people, slow systems, economic pressure, unpredictable environments.

Carrying a Joke too Far?
There is a thin line between “getting kicks” and reality. While the ability to laugh at ourselves is a good thing, I feel that we have taken this joke a little too far. Some may argue that it’s true. The question is: Do we want it to REMAIN true for us? If we are thinking…
