It’s hard to believe that I’ve been working with the Getting Things Done methodologies for over six years now. Wow!
When I was first started studying these methodologies I became very active on several of the Getting Things Done online forums and even started one of the popular discussion groups. I met a lot of wonderful [...]

For a few years now I’ve had a crazy idea in the back of mind. I don’t know that it’s time to execute the idea yet, but I thought I’d post here and at least get some discussion going on the idea.

I joined the Chair City Toastmasters club here in Thomasville North Carolina about a year and a half ago. After all that time, I’m glad to announce that I’ve finally earned my Competent Communicator Award.  This is the first step on my path to Distinguished Toastmaster. For those of you who know something about the [...]

For the past two years, I’ve been focusing on being more conscious of the words that I use and how those words reflect my own integrity. I originally wrote most of this blog post in April of 2006 and never published it. After reading personal productivity consultant Matthew Cornell’s post on Three indecisiveness phrases, [...]

Believe it or not, all the online information on Productivity, Organization, and Motivation isn’t available via RSS. Some of it is only available via email newsletters. I have one email address that I always use for subscribing to eNewsletters. I’ll frequently go weeks, and sometimes even months without checking it and then I set aside [...]

Office Stuffer
The Daily Saint
Yanko Design
My Personal Organizing Tools Review
Laura Stack

Most of the reviewers gave it an overwhelmingly positive review. This made [...]

Day 31? Perceptive readers are asking, “Don’t you mean Day 33?”
No. It’s actually Day 31. The truth is that I fell off the wagon back on what would have been Day 24 and Day 25.
On Sunday, August 12th, I taught Sunday School at church, so I decided to polish my lesson that morning instead of [...]

I now have a rather impressive string of 23 paper clips hanging next to my office door. It serves as a constant reminder of how far I’ve come–for 23 days days in a row I have walked for at least 45 minutes. Actually, I’ve walked for nearly an hour just about every day and many [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 9 days since I’ve updated you on my walking habit and tracking it with a paper clip chain. I haven’t taken my walk for today, but it is a high-priority task for this evening after it cools down a little. I didn’t get to walk in the cool [...]
