In the 1970’s Art Fry inadvertently made the post-it note as a bookmark for his church hymnal. He didn’t want to ruin the page, and the 3M glue was perfect. The idea was kicked along, until the Post-It Note was finally launched to the market in ’79. The little sticky notes are great for all...

Two weeks ago, we ran an exercise in small groups. In the first twenty minutes, we outlined a general practice that we wanted to start. For some, it was creating regular music. For others, it was writing each day. Most of these ideas were tied into their small businesses or ideas. In the second twenty...

When I was seven, I joined an athletics club midway through the season. I was introduced to the coach and joined in on the hurdles event. I failed all the hurdles miserably, quit that day, and never went back. Doing something for the first time has some perceived risk. On the one hand, we don’t...

I don’t think there is one. Anything we add (pomodoro method, standing desks and coffee with butter and/or coconut oil) is kind of a signal. It’s a way of telling ourselves and maybe a few others, that we care about productivity/health/posture/caffeine, because we’re doing this thing that’s been shown to help. And, sometimes they do...

It might be December. It might be the end of a big year. And, we can still carry out the small actions that can help us become who we want to be. In a lot of ways, the calendar is helpful, and, we can use it to spin a bunch of stories around starting next...

When I was 13, I went on a BMX track for the first time. I’d ridden a bike for years, and loved little jumps and banks. The track was fully groomed, it felt like heaven. An hour into it, I remember racing down the start of it, flying into the turns, and hitting this table...

A car is convenient. It transformed us from travellers (walking or cycling) to passengers (sitting). The fuel switched from the food that we ate to the petrol that we bought. We could both relax, and go huge distances. My aeropress coffee maker is also convenient. Alongside a grinder, I can have a pretty good cup...

Yesterday at 6:22am, I ran out of ideas. I was working on a blog post… Nothing there. Finally, I thought of something, and I started typing (relieved). Afterwards, I thought surely there could be no more?? I had nothing, but managed just one more. That must have definitely been my final effort. Oh well. It’s...
