My Dad gave me Timothy Ferriss’ book called The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich.  An interesting and worth while read whether you are looking for some productivity tips, or truly want to change your work-life / career.

  (Alternate Title: How to Get Projects Back On Track) I’ve been absent for awhile. I knew in the back of my mind that I had been absent for awhile and not posting to the blog.  But, wow (!), I haven’t posted since October of last year!  I had even told myself that I would [...]

Though I am sure I was already doing it, I have edited my “About” and have widened the scope of my blog. Personal Productivity and Effectiveness are certainly my passion and mission, but so is “Business.” As my friends will attest to, I love business – thinking about it, doing it and helping people with [...]

Continuing with a “sharpening” theme, look at this post, The Effective Emailer, by Guy Kawasaki (what a great name!) in his blog called Let the Good Times Roll (what an appropriate and cool title!).
