Scott Adams, Dilbert Creator, Affirmations, and Me.

I’m in.  With both feet, I’m in.  Scott Adams, Dilbert creator, in his recent book talked about affirmations.   (I’m assuming it was in his recent book because he took the blog posts down, and I had to seriously hunt for them in the cache of Google). For a long time, i’ve plated around [...]

Tension in the Creative Act.

My muse–what I want to create for the world–is hard to create.  To make something that didn’t exist before, out of nothing but the building blocks that everyone has at their disposal requires a distillation of insanity, presumptuousness, faith, and joy far beyond that which modern society considers healthy.   I was at Starbucks yesterday [...]

Hiatus.

I’ve gained a lot of great subscriptions to loanofficersurvivaltrinaing.com. I’m very happy about that, but there is a lot of work that I’ve got to do fleshing out my outlines, plans and forms to make sure I honor the commitment that others made to me.  I have to bang on my forms so they are [...]

Overwhelm.

…to Peace. Tomorrow?  My Documents…that WILL be worse. This is one of those GTD things that totally clears the decks psychically.  Now to get my desk done… I am happy as hell with the role I’ve picked.

So, I thought hey, why not Jott? So, all of you all who(?) are Jotted(?) let me know. Also don’t forget my free [...]

Social media gets cooercive.

What in the hell people?  No, I’m not going to say yes, despite any relationship I might have with David.  Why? Because I’m not gonna let someone get away with bullying me.  What a crappy concept.

Dan Green, You Cool Dude.

If you have the chance to talk to Dan Green, do it.  Period.   Wherever/whenever he summons you.  I got the call one Monday morning not too long ago.  He happened to be in Westerville not long ago to speak to the Real Living people about being a superstar blogger. Since he gets DEALS out [...]

GTD: Double Click CTRL and Double Click ALT.

One killer feature of Google Desktop is the fact that it gives you instantaneous access to search.  Hitting Double Click Ctrl brings up at  thought-speeds the search box:

You type, hit enter, and it opens a search page.  You can alt-tab back to what you were doing, the search is waiting for you.

What I want–and it’s [...]

The Power Of Loose Ties, Longterm Networking.

For a long time, I’ve been blogging.  I’ve followed and been followed by thousands of people off and on (had I the ephiphany that I’ve had today, baby, I’d have EVERYONE OF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES).   And I learned something.  Even people that you used to follow are dimly aware of you 2 years after you [...]
