So today’s Wednesday, April 15. Though it’d be hard to tell that by looking out into my yard today, with the fresh dump of snow we received overnight. Seriously, anyone would be forgiven for thinking that we’d skipped a couple of seasons, flipped summer and fall the bird, and just headed straight back to winter. …
So it’s midweek here in Port Sydney, Ontario, where I live. Our kids are on the third day of their extended March Break and, much like everyone else in this new normal we find ourselves in, it’s starting to kick in. The frustration. The boredom. And, yes, the anger. Anger that life will probably be …
(This is a personal post so if that isn’t your thing then you should move on.) This is the eighth year that I’ve done a year in review piece. If this is your first time reading one you may need the context of prior years. I’ve dealt with a variety of issues leading up to this point. …
It’s funny how much time and energy and frustration I would have saved in my life had I been braver. Good thing I now know that the quickest route to having an unfair advantage over the seething masses is not in doubling my output or being busier or making more things to share, though these …

I moved my business to expertise retainers, was more comfortable with success and stopped beating myself up (and …
