Read More The Impact of A Man’s Energy as a FatherOver the past few years, and in particular the last year I have begun to question the how and when life ends.

This notion of mashups where you can take one technique or concept from one domain of life and applying it […]
Read More Mashups – Scrum and Agility at home?So how much sleep did you get last night? Was it high quality rest? Do you really know the answer to this question?

Read More Peaking Performance – Sleep, Testosterone, and CortisolAs a recovering <a href=”https://markbadeau.com/2018/06/04/busyholicism-such-a-thing/”>busyholic</a>, I know the temptation for production and the always present need that I have to produce.

Read More Do you have a personal board of directors?Inspiration and motivation – grandiose notions that burn out for many, perhaps the majority of people. You are subject to your current level of focus, energy levels, and likely emotions. I’ve read in my research on willpower and motivation that we should say ‘screw motivation’ it is useless long term.
