Blog postThings do not get rid of themselves. There seems to be a universal law of physics that goes like this: things that exist want to keep existing, even if there’s no good reason. And I think they have strange, secret, invisible agents that lurk in our psyche, planting little numbing seeds like “it’s there, so there must be a good reason it’s there.”
And stuff changes. What’s useful today may not be so useful tomorrow and by next week may be irrelevant and by next month may be seriou2 years ago Read more -

Blog postThe biggest procrastinators are usually the most sophisticated, sensitive, creative, and intelligent people.
Nailed you, did I? Well, I assume you’re in the sophisticated, creative, and intelligent category. That probably means you have large numbers of things stuck in your mind, in your briefcase, and on your desk about which things are not moving forward quite as consistently as they could be.
Major reason: the precise next physical visible activity (next action) has pr2 years ago Read more -

Blog postQ: What’s the one thing that we do that gets in the way of us being productive?

Then they waste energy and burn out, allowin2 years ago Read more -

Blog postThere is never enough time to do what you want to do from the level you are doing it. You must relax, and refocus. If you have inserted your intention into the universe, you must trust that the method and the process and the dynamics for its manifestation will reveal themselves in their timing, not yours. You are part of your bigger game. Let me say it again – relax, refocus.
