I’m taking a bit of a break from recording new episodes of the podcast because, well, I deserve a break. The 95th episode dropped about two weeks ago so there are a lot of episodes to listen to or relisten to. Below are ten suggested older episodes for you to check out. To give you READ MORE

Aspiration, Ambition, and Action
A few months ago I shared an episode of Todd Henry’s podcast in which he was speaking with best-selling author and coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith about his new book The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment. It was a very interesting conversation and definitely made me want to read the book, and I’m currently doing just that. But READ MORE
Making Up For Lost Time Doesn’t Work
I’m on a roll right now. Ideas are popping, and I’m thinking strategically about a lot of things at work. All or most of my brain cylinders are firing. This is very different than how I was doing three and a half to four years ago. My thinking was fuzzy, my creativity was shit, and READ MORE
Setting Intentional Limits
We used to take our daughter to the race track here in Saskatoon. It was free to get in and she liked to watch the horses. My wife and I would bring a total of $40 with us in cash of which we could each place some bets and buy ice cream for the three READ MORE
The Next Six Months
On Friday, the first half of 2022 will be done with six months remaining. For many people, the first six months of the year were hard, scary, draining, and many other adjectives that don’t describe “a good time was had by all.” In the 94th episode of the podcast, which came out yesterday, I talked READ MORE
Remembering The Why Behind Reminders
Sometimes I get an idea for a blog post only to discover that I’ve already written a post about it (no wonder it sounded like a good idea). For example, I got the idea to write a post about reminding yourself of the important things throughout your day, then saw that I wrote a post READ MORE
Invest In The Small Things
“Most big, deeply satisfying accomplishments in life take at least five years to achieve. This can include building a business, cultivating a loving relationship, writing a book, getting in the best shape of your life, raising a family, and more. Five years is a long time. It is much slower than most of us would READ MORE
Maintainance Is Better Than Repair
When I was growing up my family had dental insurance that required we get regular check-ups, which were covered by the insurance. They recognized that regular check-ups and cleanings helped to prevent more costly procedures later. The first new car I bought included a warranty that covered routine maintenance like oil changes, etc. because it’s READ MORE
Some of What I’ve Been Consuming
I have several personal and work-related projects going on right now, but publishing these blog posts twice per week is a commitment that I’ve made to you the readers. Yes, I take some time off here and there, but I try to plan for that and this isn’t one of those times. So instead of READ MORE
From Day-to-Day to Your Purpose
I recently wrote a post about doing a “Weekly Review”, an idea that comes from David Allen’s book Getting Things Done (GTD). Another important aspect of the GTD method that I think often gets overlooked is the “Horizons of Focus”. According to Allen, there are six horizons of focus that he explains using a “flying READ MORE
