As part of the holiday season, here’s the first post aimed at introducing the Energy and Action Framework – it builds upon a few of the first posts on this blog… This post is aimed at those seeking to ramp the clarity in their lives across all of their Dimensions of Life (DOLs) and […]
Read More Introducing the Energy and Action Framework (Version 3.0 – 2017)I’m admittedly a gadget guy from back in the day. My approach to the gadgets in my life has increasingly become one of reducing friction, increasing my productivity, and enabling stronger alignment to those areas of my life that are most important. At one point – my strategy with gadgets was centered in two […]
Read More The Apple Watch – Extravagant Bullshit?So in early 2016 as I was coming to grips with my slowly healing leg and the realization that I had lost my way – I began to reflect and to decide to take some of my truth back. As I mentioned before, I had two key decisions that were made in early 2016 as […]
Read More Intentional with Time and EnergyWhen I was five years old, I cracked my jaw falling off a 10 foot slide into a pile of glass, face first. I was lucky to have only a puncture in one lip, a cracked jaw, and a concussion. I was scared, I was in bad pain as they sewed up my lip without […]
Read More Broke my leg and broke free with two decisions…I’m sure you have heard of journaling, and when I previously thought of doing such a thing – I thought of it as something only kids did. I had been told by a few close friends over the years that they kept a journal, and I always thought of it as a colossal waste of […]
Read More Journaling as a stress reducer and time enhancer? No, really…Shorter post than some others recently – managed to click off another ‘success’ in the DoD program. Day 3 started about the same time as Day 2, no rest on the weekend here. Managed to blast through the normal workout routine that I carry while dealing with some newly uncovered pains and aches – […]
Read More Day 3 of DoD – MindsetSo last post, I mentioned that I had started this 30 Days of Discipline from Bold and Determined – effectively as a reboot to my habit forming approach and re-cementing some disciplines that I think have become soft. Day 2 was in some ways much easier to get through, and in other ways it was […]
Read More Day 2 of DoD – Welcome to the GrindI’ve been hammering on daily routines and recurring rituals over the past 2 years. Over the past 90 days, I pushed hard on a few key goals – one of them being the preparation for this Energy and Action project. As the past 90 days came to a close, I realized I need to greatly […]
Read More Day 1 of DoD – Initial ImpressionsI just finished my first 13 week journal/12 week year, and I am now looking at the remainder of the year with less than 13 weeks on the calendar. I’ve decided to take advantage of these last two months to hammer on my operating model that I have been using for the past six months […]
Read More Proving out my operating model, diving into 30 DoD…Why bother with another blog when there are hundreds of thousands already out there? Well, I’m doing this for myself first with the belief that any learnings I share will be picked up on an increasing basis given the no bullshit candor being thrown around here. This is a vehicle for self development both inwardly […]
Read More Committing to EnergyandAction.comVery very recently this site was recast with a new look and feel. I have to give props to Tim Ferriss for the tip to get in with the 99 Designs platform where I found my design crew to jumpstart the entire thing. Lesson learned: crowd sourcing creative services rocks and it doesn’t cost as […]
Read More Logo, done. Branding, done. Launch Imminent…Building on the prior post about past misses and pivoting towards a two week glide path of daily wins – how do you go about building your plans for the future? I mentioned previously that all to dos and promises to myself are eventually assigned dates to get them done. If it isn’t worth […]
