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
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.

Ep 48. Dendrochronology
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
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.
Ep 47. Never, Never, Never Give Up
I personally needed a reminder, and maybe we all do, to never give up. That is the one lesson in life above all others that makes the difference, right?
Turn All Your Hangers Backwards
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
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.
