Why It’s Not About The System You Use.
Discipline isn’t about regimens, controlling your environment, or being anal about having things your way. It’s about following through, no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. It’s about keeping your eyes on the prize, and toughing it out. It’s about digging deep in yourself to remain committed to your goal, no matter what life throws at you. (And yeah, few people like hard work. That’s why success isn’t as commonplace as it should be.)
Why I Love to Chant… oh, never mind

I don’t write about this to help you shave 0.4 seconds off your email time; I write about this because if you can walk away from your desk/laptop/iPhone with a few less knots in your shoulders and a clearer mind, then I’ve done my part. It’s about peace of mind, clarity of thought, and ease of being. Not to mention creating less waste and saving resources, both external (paper, space, time) and internal (thought, stress, and your creative potential).
Why You Should Speak Up… And, Stick Around
Everyone always says, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Does it? Only if it sticks around to see the outcome.
A Question of Structure: How Much Works For You?
Knowing how much structure you need can be the key to saving yourself untold hours of frustration… and, to choosing the right tool for the job.
Organizing Your Folder Structure
You’ve got all the information you need… but now, what do you do with it? How do you store it so you can find it when you need it, and not be drowning in it until you do?
