Lawn Efficiency (Lawnficiency TM)
I’m obsessed with my lawn. There. I said it. Sometimes the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem but, the thing is, I don’t think it’s a problem. I call it a hobby. Or maybe a passion-project. Psychiatrists and therapists can… Continue Reading “Lawn Efficiency (Lawnficiency TM)”
A Great Book!!!
Sometimes a book comes along that’s worthy of it’s own Blog post. And that book is Someday is Today by Matthew Dicks. Most good books I read just go in my Books I Love section with a little review. I review them for myself… Continue Reading “A Great Book!!!”
Great at Gifting or Great at Getting?
Not sure how it is in your house, but for my wife and I …gift giving is a competition. Before and after all gift-giving events (Valentine’s Day, Anniversary, our birthdays, and especially Christmas) we pre-brag and post-brag about “winning Christmas” or “winning our Anniversary.”… Continue Reading “Great at Gifting or Great at Getting?”
Goals for 2023, 1-Month Update
I started the year copying Matthew Dicks’ and his ongoing tracking daily, monthly, yearly, and lifelong goals. He’s got 49 things on his list. I have 11 things. Well, now I have 12. This is a fun experiment. First, it lays bear all my… Continue Reading “Goals for 2023, 1-Month Update”
Goals for 2023 and Forever
I’m committing plagiary. Intellectual property theft. But not really. Matthew Dicks actually encourages his fans (and I am one) to do what he does. Here’s what he does. At the beginning of the year he establishes a set of goals (ie New Year Resolutions)… Continue Reading “Goals for 2023 and Forever”
Q4 Kick Off
Don’t mean to brag, but …I’m in sales. I’m a sales guy. I sell stuff. I have quotas and budgets and I pretty much blow my numbers away. I get mad props from my bosses. It’s how I afford my Buick. Cloth seats, bruh.… Continue Reading “Q4 Kick Off”
Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 7: #RESOLUTIONADAY 2021, Day-19
#ResolutionADay® is, in theory, supposed to happen every day. But, sometimes, life happens. Sometimes a family vacation happens. Sometimes a cold happens. Point is, things happen …but I don’t quit. It would be easy to quit. Easy to say, “hey, this was supposed to… Continue Reading “Self-Improvement Stuff, Part 7: #RESOLUTIONADAY 2021, Day-19”
Resolutions 2020
I credit Matthew Dicks for my a-ah moment of 2019 – discovering storytelling and The Moth. Matthew Dicks is a storyteller. Yes. That’s a thing. But I didn’t know it until I heard him on the Art of Manliness Podcast. For a guy like… Continue Reading “Resolutions 2020”
The Joy of Breathing from The Moth StorySLAM
If you’ll take the 6-minutes to watch this, please know this …this happened when I was 35 years old. I’m 46-years-old, now. And at the end I act like all at once I figured everything out. You might think for the past 11-years I’ve… Continue Reading “The Joy of Breathing from The Moth StorySLAM”
Good and Bad
Can you believe Christmas is already over and in the weeks leading up to Christmas I didn’t post my annual Christmas Wish-List? Either I’ve slipped into a depression or, some would argue, I’ve grown as a person and I’m realizing it’s not all about me… Continue Reading “Good and Bad”
