Monday Inspiration: TEDx Boulder

goal setting, productivity / 4 Comments
Inspiring Quotes From TEDx Boulder 2014

I’ve been sick for over a week now, which is really frustrating. Not only was I home feeling icky a lot, but there were so many fun activities I had to pass up since I was just too tired to do them. (Hello, 7:30pm bedtimes! Don’t judge.) But I spent my Saturday night at a pretty darn awesome event that didn’t require anything of me except to sit and listen with an open mind: TEDx Boulder. I’m sure you’ve seen the many amazing TED talks that are out there – thanks to the videos they edit after the event, many of the …

Clearing the Slate to Achieve Inbox Zero

productivity / Leave a Comment
Maybe it’s not about trying to fix something that’s broken. Maybe it’s about starting over to do something better.

Inbox Zero. How many times have I written about this topic, considered by many to be the holy grail of productivity? Countless. And yet how many times have I actually achieved Inbox Zero? Wellllllll, I’ve gotten there many times on work email (hooray!), but when it comes to personal email… that answer is zero. Oops 🙁 Part of the reason I haven’t yet been able to hit zero in either of my two personal inboxes is that I am not willing to start from scratch… and the pile of emails I already have in each inbox is really overwhelming. (Over 500 per …

Reconnecting With My Childhood Passion

Lately, I feel like I’ve been hearing the same advice over and over about discovering what you’re “meant to do”: think back to when you were a kid, and rely on the instincts you had then. In fact, on Lewis Howes’ School of Greatness podcast (which I love and you should start listening to), he gets even more specific: think back to when you were 14-16 years old. That’s the time of your life when you’re mature enough to make good decisions, and yet young enough to go after your passions rather than feeling constrained by rules and what you “should” do. So, …

How to Get More Exercise? Hide Your Car!

Since moving to Colorado, one of the challenges I’ve faced is figuring out how to go out for drinks… or more accurately, how to get home after doing so. In New York City, it was so easy – I took the subway, Citibike, or a taxi pretty much wherever I went, so driving wasn’t even an option. But in Colorado, I’ve had to do a lot of planning ahead to make sure that I stay safe. When I was apartment-hunting in Colorado, one key criterion was the proximity to a Park N Ride bus stop. (This is the closest thing that the …

Review/Giveaway: Energems Energy Supplements

Weekend recap will be coming tomorrow (spoiler alert: tons of hiking pics, but none on a 14er. Stupid weather!), but in the meantime, I can’t get over how strange it is to be in Dallas on a Monday and working normal daytime hours! I guess I got really used to night shifts, because it felt so weird this morning to go back to my old routine of waking up at 4am and flying to Dallas before starting my workday. Never mind that I have been in that routine for nearly three years; it only took three weeks to undo it! Guess …
