Do the task or play in traffic?

I can't even tell you how much time I spent learning how to manage my time over the last 10+ years. I have always geeked out on productivity, creating systems, planning, and so forth. Is it best to use a calendar or a list? Digital or paper? Which paper version is the best? I even had two custom planners created for myself. I even upgraded one to the highest quality of paper, and it ended up weighing about 17 pounds, lol.

Traded several months for 6 hours...

Last week was a fantastic week for me. I scheduled my time almost perfectly, and the flow from day-to-day was virtually effortless. I was able to fully enjoy my downtime because I knew I had everything scheduled and that I would follow-through.

Beat-myself-up-ville | Self-trust bank

I'm developing this new concept called the Self-Trust Bank; I'm still fine-tuning the details but wanted to share now because I'm kind of geeking out about it. A self-trust bank is essentially a collection of evidence that you can do hard things, that you can honor your commitment to yourself and your values, even when it's not easy. If I asked…

Ramen Noodles or Drunk Elephant

One of the top cons to quitting my job was that I would have to live on a tight budget. Super tight. Not ramen-noodles-for-every-meal tight. But not-splurging-on-some-Drunk-Elephant-skincare tight. I analyzed my decision from every possible angle and even created my own tool/exercise to help other people make...
