It’s been a while since I’ve posted – life always seems to distract me with all the fun that can be had! It’s been a while since I went to a yoga class – so I went this morning. It was physically hard and yet so so mentally good. Thanks Soul Tree Yoga. It’s been [...]

Measuring Kaizen – When Change is Hard
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged change, kaizen, self-improvement, success on August 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I had a conversation recently with a friend who lost a lot of weight. He said that the physical change was the easy part, the tough part was the mental change. I know what he means. When you can see the direct results of your attempts at change, it is gratifying and makes you want [...]
Is it boring in here or is it just me?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged doing things, innovation, kaizen, leadership on May 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Work can be challenging, exciting, fun, and sometimes…. boring. Lately, I’ve realized that there are different types of boring. Bored Worker Type #1 – Bad Attitude Some people just have bad attitudes towards work, and they see their job as boring because of it. I can’t help this, and I guarantee that the next job [...]
SERIES: Tools of the Productivity Trade – Intro
Posted in 1, tagged expertise, kaizen, productivity, success, tools on March 2, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Most people do not read this blog. Most people do not read any blogs actually. Do you know why I know? Because up until a couple of years ago, I was most people. I never read blogs. I didn’t spend more than 5 minutes on my facebook account. I didn’t follow links. I didn’t search [...]
Why Unproductive Days are Necessary
Posted in 1, tagged doing things, kaizen, productivity, success on February 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was completely unproductive. I had great intentions: I wrote down my top three “most important tasks”. I had my calendar blocked off for project time. It was Friday, which meant less incoming email. My boss was out for the day, which meant nothing “new” would be introduced. I was able to close my door. [...]
5 Ways to Stick With It
Posted in 1, tagged goals, kaizen, quitting, success on February 18, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The other day I came across Seth Godin’s book “The Dip“. I’m not far into it yet (but do highly recommend it), but quickly realized that “sticking” with something is not as easy as starting something. New things are exciting and energizing. For many of us, starting something new is where it’s at. The adrenaline of the challenge, [...]
It doesn’t have to be perfect
Posted in 1, tagged doing things, kaizen on February 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I often have to remind myself that perfection is not my goal. I strive towards improvement and progress and many many other things – but not perfection. Why? Because I’ll never get there – I’ll never be satisfied. Aiming for the unattainable is really just wasted effort that, in the end, makes you feel like [...]

It’s not news to anyone that we are all inundated with an overload of information. And yet, some people have the vision to see through the chaos. They can spot the lotus of opportunity through the muck and are able to take that opportunity and turn it into something amazing. These are today’s success stories. [...]
Giving up
Posted in General, tagged fail, kaizen, quitting, success on January 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’m stubborn. Just ask my dad. He used to tell me as a kid that I could argue with a fence post. Sometimes my stubborn nature is a problem. It blinds me from possibilities and makes me a bit unreasonable. But sometimes it is a true benefit, because stubbornness = persistence. Persistence pays off – [...]
Mimicry is the Highest Form of Flattery
Posted in General, tagged goals, kaizen, new year, resolutions on January 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
“My Three Words for 2010″ is one of those new year’s resolutions/goal setting trends I’ve picked up on this year (thanks Chris Brogan) – so I decided to follow suit and put my three words to type as well. I think he’s obviously doing a lot of things right as he is very successful at [...]
