I’ve thrown “time-blocking” into the trash. It doesn’t work for me since I’m not tied to deadlines and don’t want to impose them on myself. I’ve just been going with a priority and sequence/rotation driven schedule. That seems to provide the most productivity for me. #productivity #life

Happy Houseplant Appreciation Day

Good morning. Embrace impermanence. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If you plan on putting all your eggs in one basket, make sure all of the eggs are hard boiled. #life
