    How to Aggressively Guard Your Time and be More Productive

    Tell me if this sounds familiar: you start in on a project. 5 minutes later you get an email. Maybe a phone call comes in (confirming you go the email, of-course). After that you start on the project again. Someone pings you on Slack. You chat with them until you realize you have a meeting in 5 minutes. After the meeting it’s lunch time. You get back and browse around for a bit – you have a meeting in 10 minutes anyway. Then more email. More Slack. More distractions. Suddenly it’s after 5pm, you feel like you did nothing, and you wonder where the day went. Sound familiar? It happens to me too much. That’s why I’ve been aggressively guarding my time. Here’s how.

    Books Recap for June 2019

    In June I finished 3 books and read about 750 pages. That brings my grand total up to 17 books on the year, and 4 away from my goal for 2019. Given that I’m going to the beach this month, I’ll likely hit that by the end of the summer (if not sooner).

    Why do I Need an Episode 0 for my Podcast?

    Books Roundup for May 2019

    I finally finished Alexander Hamilton! Between that and moving to a new house, I only managed to finish one other book, and start a 3rd. I read about 450 pages – down from the beginning of the year, but I suppose that’s to be expected. Let’s jump into it.
