On hard mode
I saw an article from Psychology Today that asked me the question: Are you living life on hard mode? It is a callback towards video games, where you get to choose the difficulty level of play. Go through the world unencumbered with an easier path to victory or put more challenges in your way towards…

What vs why
So you want to increase your sales. You want to get more customers. You want to hit your goals. Great. I hope you do it all. But have you asked yourself, the bigger questions: Why and how? Don’t get me wrong, you should definitely create goals. However, you need to make sure you create a…

The first 5k
Over ten years ago, I decided to sign up for my first 5k. I remember that moment now, as I look down at the sweatpants that I bought to train all winter in. I was so excited by the prospect of the race that I went on a shopping spree to buy everything I would…

I had a moment. I realized that I am most successful when I stick strictly to a routine, to a degree that worries others. I excel there. I feel great there. However, my biggest flaw is that I believe that I shouldn’t have to do that. Other people are able to just decide what they…

Maybe I’m not lazy?
I am rushing to write this before I head off for my second job. I am doing this because I am trying to maintain my streak of posting every day. As I scramble to get this post, I am thinking maybe I am not lazy. I post everyday on a blog that I started for…

So many choices
How are your resolutions coming along? At the time I’m writing this, we’re not even two weeks in to 2025, but that doesn’t mean things will have been perfect. I for one am doing a reassessment. I started with a lot of good intentions. It is time to start getting more specific. I know what…
