I'm well aware that 2,000 subscribers over 5 years hardly puts me in the upper echelons of YouTube.

But as a guy who just posts what he thinks will help people get more value from work and more enjoyment from life, and who pays no real attention to growth...

I'll take it!

Saw this posted on the "other site" and it got me fired up.

"Worst Prison"? More like "worst FRAMING"

Turning every failure into a personal character flaw is a counterproductive exercise in self-flagellation

It's not lack of courage—it's lack of MECHANICS

To take action, you need to know HOW...

Am I the only one who enjoys pronouncing it "bloo-ess-key" instead of "blue-sky"?

Maybe it's because my wife's maiden name ends in an "ess-key" sound

More likely it's because I'm weird

So much efficient and effective work never happens because it takes too much time and energy to get started

There's a solution to this, and it's a tenet of my Action-Powered Productivity approach:

👉 Always Start in the Middle

Or, flipped around: "Never start from scratch"

What is a "Productivity Bridge" and why do you need it?

It's a structure you create now to make future work more efficient, effective, and fulfilling

It might take the form of a template, procedure, automation, recurring task, or role—

But it always creates better future work

I've heard people say "it's not task management; it's TIME management"

I've also heard people say "it's not time management; it's TASK management"

Both are a little true, but they miss the connecting thread: It's not time or task management...

It's ATTENTION management

I'm using ChatGPT to help code my landing page for Action-Powered Productivity Live

(registration opens later this week!)

There's a video I haven't filmed yet, so I asked ChatGPT to create the frame but choose a random YouTube placeholder.

Friends... ChatGPT RICKROLLED me!!

Lovely summer evening in the West Virginia hills

Watching the youngest swing and waiting for the lightning bugs to come out

(That's what we call fireflies around these parts)
