I wonder what President Obama has in his pockets? I got to thinking about this when I was opening my front door. What if I didn’t have my keys? What if I lost them? Someone thing as small as keys has a big impact on my life, but is it that big of a deal [...]
Energy
December 16, 2012 – 3:43 pm
Life is all about energy. In the past (well up to about yesterday) I liked to think I had a lot of energy. My mind was telling me that I could just use more energy to focus on a given task no matter what my surroundings were. People singing? Focus. People talking? Focus. Two things [...]
Happiness
December 9, 2012 – 8:10 pm
What is the source of happiness? Is there one thing that makes a person happy? Does having money make you happy? We hear these “happiness” questions all the time. While I do not claim to have the answer, the best I can do is to share what I have personally experienced and witnessed in the [...]
What We Are Thinking About
December 2, 2012 – 3:56 am
I have recently gotten back into the whole creating a new productivity system thing and wanted to talk about what I have been up to. Right now I am in the problem validation stage, but instead of just talk about this system, I wanted to visualize it. So below you will see part written explanation [...]
Someday isn’t a day of the week
November 25, 2012 – 5:59 pm
I was reading an application to The Starter League and I came across a quote that said, “Someday is not a day of the week.” I have read tons of quotes and even searched for quotes before, but this one hit me like a bolt of lightning. It wasn’t just quote that was personal, but [...]
Building Confidence
November 19, 2012 – 2:32 pm
Earlier this week I watched a great TED talk by IDEO co-founder David Kelley on how to build creative confidence. This is an exciting subject for me, and I will be expressing more on this subject during the week, but for now take some time and check out this video. David Kelley – How to [...]
Oh, Northwestern
November 11, 2012 – 5:13 pm
Another fourth quarter lead. Another meltdown. This was really our last chance to battle for the Big Ten Championship, so it was a must-win. We had the lead until the last thirty seconds only to let Michigan tie it with a crazy hail mary pass. Then in overtime Michigan showed why they were Michigan and [...]
Notifications
November 4, 2012 – 5:11 pm
Communication is one of the most important things of all-time. The more we communicate the better. Or is it? I’m not talking about limiting one-on-one conversation, but limiting notifications. We live in a world of social media updates, push email notifications, chat and growl notifications. I wonder how many notifications I get in a day? [...]
Being Mitt Romney
October 28, 2012 – 3:32 pm
So last night I was decided to be Mitt Romney: I was generally surprised with the number of people who actually got the “Binders Full of Women” reference so that was awesome. Best moments of the night: A group of gay guys yelling “I SEE YOU MITT ROMNEY AND YOUR BINDERS FULL OF WOMEN! BUT [...]
Mind > Time
October 21, 2012 – 2:54 pm
What if we actually have enough time to do all the things we need to do, but if we just don’t use our time wisely? What if we defeat ourselves for being too ambitious on one day versus being consistently productive over a long period of a time? What if it’s not a battle of [...]
