The Four Laws of Creating Good Habits
A few days ago I finished reading Atomic Habits by James Clear. I definitely recommend it. He gives some solid, practical tips throughout the book that I think most of you reading this can pull something useful from. Also, if you’ve read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, I think you’ll really enjoy this READ MORE
Habits On This Journey
Up until this point I have written a blog post pretty much every week, with the exception of taking some time off over the Christmas / New Years holiday season last year. I’ve tried to be diligent about this, but last week chaos reined. My parents still live in the house that I grew up READ MORE
Numbers
These days I’m very focused on numbers, from the ones on my scale in the morning to the number of words that I’ve written in a week. Some people might look at this as getting stuck in the weeds, but for me, they’re regular reminders of how far I’ve come. I weigh myself every morning READ MORE
The Soundtrack That Moves You
I try to have a new post published here every Monday morning. This one is a few hours late because I just got back from a brief vacation with my family. The idea for this post came to me while on the airplane coming home yesterday. I needed to return earlier than my wife and READ MORE
Where Do I Find My Research
Last week I wrote a post about doing your research, finding the information you need to make progress toward your goals and being prepared for the opportunities that inevitably arrive throughout life.

The Tools That I Use
Throughout the posts that I have written so far, I have mentioned several tools that I use. I decided that some of you might find it useful if I provided a single list of these. I’m also going to take this list and add it as a separate page on the website for easy reference. READ MORE
Reminders To Myself: From the daily items to the big picture
Throughout my day, I get a lot of reminders, and they’re all from me. Some are related to work, others related to my personal life, and many are about keeping myself healthy, focused, and with my big picture in sight. Most are digital, but some are paper based. These reminders enable me to stay on READ MORE
What Intervals Seem to Have Done for Me
I explained in a previous post how using the MyFitnessPal app helped me to lose more than 20 pounds last year. The app alone didn’t do it, but rather it was my discipline in using it, keeping my goals in mind, and adding interval exercises to my workouts. It was my wife who first suggested READ MORE
