Working
On Procrastination
My airplane listening (hey, it was a long flight!) was a series of podcasts by Merlin Mann at 43folders with David Allen, the personal productivity guru and one of my heros. I stumbled across David’s email newsletter back in 2001, and printed/saved them until his best seller Getting Things Done came out in print. [...]
The Problem of Anonymity
My airplane reading this for this trip is a book I’ve wanted to read for a few months now: Small is the New Big by Seth Godin. It’s a collection of ‘the best’ of his blog posts over the past 3-4 years. While I spend a lot of time reading online I [...]
Business Travel Essentials
I arrived in San Diego late Sunday afternoon and have checked in at the lovely La Avenida Inn on Coronado Island.

If there’s some interest I might get one started at work. But it’s been tough finding things worth [...]
Motivated to Innovate
I’ve been reading a lot of Seth Godin’s stuff these days. LOTS — books, e-books, blog posts and anything else I can find. He’s not only a breath of fresh air but he’s helped me look at the work I’ve been doing in a new way.
How’s that? Well, in Free Prize Inside [...]
