Thoughts, events and news about me. Probably the least-used category, hopefully.
Learn how to get Things Done
The title of this lesson is larger than stated. Easy to say, I know. but it takes a diligent mindset to figure out who makes the decisions, who doesn’t who acts like they do but don’t (way more of these than ever needed) and connect all the dots so you can see the chain of……
Make Sure to Always Read the Manual and Instructions. Twice. Or More.
Good design affords us an ability to ignore instructions, sometimes, but do it at your own peril and expense. I recommend not just reading them but learning them. And save those manuals!
Something Remarkable I Found Today
