    Coffee I’ve Been Digging Lately

    Growing up, coffee was a pretty simple operation in my house…from what I remember. I actually didn’t drink coffee at all until I was 20. But we had a simple drip coffee maker and would make Maxwell House.

    Fast forward to the other day, when I made coffee 3 different ways. I used my drip coffee maker in the morning. I used my Nespresso for a mid-morning boost. And I used this new, super interesting coffee brand called Cometeer, which I’ll tell you about in a minute, in the afternoon. How times have changed.

    I don’t know when coffee roasting became a big, deep hobby with lots of boutique blends and brewing methods. I do know that I’ve been trying lots of great coffee and services lately.

    2020 Gift Guides

    It has become a bit of a time-honored tradition for me to do gift guides around the holidays. I often get asked for recommendations on office, podcast, and pen gear.

Since I work from home, not a big change for me. Since my wife is a nurse, she still goes to work on her normal schedule. But my daughter’s daycare is closed, so there’s no one to watch T on days my wife works. Here’s how I’ve been managding.

    5 Tips For Working From Home

    The work from home movement is growing considerably, and for good reason. But with this monumental shift in how you work comes a likely lull in productivity – or at least some growing pains.

    Fleshing Out My Work Week

    I have a confession: I’m in a bit of a funk. April was not a very productive for me. We were in Disney World for 8 days, and the rest of it, I was either sick or recovering from being sick. Trying to balance the different types of work I do and properly boxing time has also become a problem. Couple that with some distractions at home, and I haven’t felt very productive lately. I want to try going to a coworking space once a week, but I’d have to schedule it on a day where I don’t need my recording setup. So I’ve decided to set my work week with days dedicated to different types of work.
