Future Me

293

Want to be more productive? Create a separate “Future Me” identity, and go out of your way to do nice things for them. When you don’t feel like doing something (going to work, dishes, exercising) think to yourself, “I’ll do this for Future Me.” It’ll change your mindset and help to get things done.

Ep 50. You’re Not A Sissy

739

I’m stoked about the topic today. It’s an idea that’s been marinating in my mind for years now and I think my thoughts have finally come together at just the right time to share with you. Episode 50 is titled You’re Not A Sissy. And it wasn’t until after I wrote the title that a little tingle of joy shivered down my spine and my inner child grinned back at me thinking, “Hey, that rhymes!”

Ep 48. Dendrochronology

243

I’ve been thinking about trees and their rings and how this record of the life of a tree is literally written inside them. And the truth is human bodies keep a record too…the lives we live are written all over us.

If Someone Gives You A Great Gift

206

If someone gives you a great gift, take a photo of yourself enjoying/using it and send it to them. Sometimes that speaks louder than simply saying thanks.

Turn All Your Hangers Backwards

200

At the beginning of the year, take a minute to turn all your hangers backwards. When you wear anything, turn it back. In six months you’ll see everything you don’t wear. Unless you have a reason to save it, donate it.

Ep 46. Routine vs. Ritual

328

A small lightning bolt of inspiration struck my mind and my heart as I contemplated these weaknesses. You need to transform your routines into rituals. The thought literally bowled me over and I had to sit down on my couch to wonder at the idea.
