I decided to think about things that I do fairly regularly that only work perfectly if no one is paying attention (and that includes me!).

Since I was 9 years old, I knew I wanted a laptop. I don’t think they were even something that pervasive back then – we had only gotten a color computer a few years before (and had finally gotten the hang of a mouse instead of using DOS commands), so I do not actually know where things stood in terms of popular tech…

One practice I am trying to make a habit this year is to put together a project proposal for almost any action or process I do at work. I also encourage everyone I work with to do the same. I am finding that this is an essential activity that clarifies…

I completed the 2021 Toronto Public Library extended reading challenge! Check my short reviews of all 26 books I read.

After last year’s inaugural No-Dirt November, I thought I was never going to do it again. But I can’t resist a challenge…

A colleague shared this variation of the Chris Sacca quote with me recently and it has perfectly articulated something I have been feeling lately and here’s why:

What have I done?

In the final part of this three-part series, we will cover how to keep a series going and everyone engaged.

In this second part of this three-part series, we will cover useful insights on scripting, recording and editing.

Making a podcast is easy but making a good podcast requires an incredible amount of hard work and dedication (or a lot of money to throw at someone who knows what they are doing).

This may seem daunting, overwhelming or impossible, but it’s important to remember that these are all things you want to do. These are the things that are letting you live your core values, savor your life, connect with your loved ones - so motivation will not be the issue, it’s pure time management.

We have established that your time is finite and that you need to be clear on your values and get to your own icing point. As you figure that out for yourself, it’s important to recognize that this is also true and necessary for everyone around you (although most of them will not be ready to do that work). In fact…

Time management is my superpower. It is the thing I do best and I haven’t met anyone who does it better than me (yet). So I figured if I boast about it on my blog here and share all the thoughts, philosophies and practices that contribute to my success, I could a) gloat about something I’m great at and b) potentially help you, the reader, improve your own time management skills.

So we all know what I like to refer to as The Project Management Triangle Trope - if you have Quality, Time and Cost, you have to pick two and sacrifice one.
