How to Be Productive Without Focusing On Productivity

I like being productive, but I’m not all that interested in productivity. I know that sounds like splitting hairs, but bear with me for a minute. I like accomplishing things. I like accomplishing things that are meaningful to me, serve other people, provide me with a sense of well-being and comfort, and that help me […]

My Big Passionate Announcement

This summer I’ve been quietly hammering away at something new and exciting, something that has been brewing in my mind for quite some time.

Your Hidden Abilities and Why You Need to Find Them

When I was 40, I went through a phase during which I feared all of my creativity had been sapped. I was in the thick of child-rearing and running a home, with all that this time of life entails. Most of my time was spent driving kids to activities, volunteering at their schools, cleaning up […]

Can You Really Make a Living Doing What You Love?

In my last post, I posed the question, “Do you really need passion and purpose?” I think the answer is clearly “no,” you don’t need them. Most of the people in the world don’t live with passion and purpose. But I can personally attest to the fact that passion and purpose make life infinitely better. […]

Your job is a huge part of your life. If you work a typical 40-hour work week, that’s around 2000 hours a year spent on the job. You spend more waking time working than you do with your spouse, partner, children, or friends. Hopefully, your job is more than a job. Hopefully, it is your […]
