8,940 steps during a seminar

I still remember setting a record (but, that as an 8am-5pm seminar for 200 people...) so when a saw this, I was happy.

Being fit, moving my body, tracking progress over time...this are important factors in/to your Productivity Profile. What you do, what you always have near you, what you focus on all create the "how and why" of your own approach to time management. What's next for you to engage in? (Me? I'm at the airport, people watching as await my next flight. Good times!)

It Could Be Easier Than You Thought

It could. Leave that option open. Once you clear it...that is, you've put in "four words or less" what you're going for, let it show up.

My idea of a good time

If I had 4 extra blocks of 15 minutes...

Landing in town a day early (Minneapolis) today, I "stopped by" the MOA - Mall of America. Wow!

Anyway, I treated myself to an educational opportunity. I picked up a notebook - watch out...my last book got started that way! - and three books about Thomas Edison. I've already made it through half of one. My take-away so far, "Get after it. Whatever your thing is, work on it, talk about it, think about it...write about it." Anything I can do to help, let me know.

Looking out over this scene is an amazing way to start the day.

I was thinking the other day about the ideas of creativity, serendipity, chance and blind luck. Lucky, that's how I feel today. Yet, as a friend reminded me this morning:

"We kind of build our own foundations for luck to come our way."

Recently, Forbes.com published an article on how "wasting time" just may be a productivity technique. That in the midst of chaos, interruption, and distractions we could have our most creative moments. I don't know... In order to get that book in to your hands, I had to learn to do the opposite of what the author of that article prescribes (Google it: "Wasting Time Can Make You A Star At Work"). What do YOU think? What project needs less organization? Which one needs more?

Good morning from LAX

To start the day, I always ask them for "the best latte they've made yet today."

At 6 in the morning, it usually brings a smile to all out faces! I'm back at the Los Angeles International Airport for the first time in 30 days!

My friend and colleague Allyson has seen her next book hit the shelves. If you're already figuring out how to get it all done this year, gift yourself this book. The most important part of reading it for me was the amazing experience I had in actually stopping to think about those things that are the most important!

Gas prices just went up in Ojai!
