Blog 199 – Limited Resource – Some Thoughts
It’s Saturday morning, day six of a rough bout with the flu for me. Each day my gas tank has been small, but I’ve managed to apply the small amount of energy available to things most important. My hopes of a quick rebound to health were dashed as each day. Driven back to bed with […]
Blog 198 – Relational Dynamics of Truth
For the second time this year, the same sage advice has come to me. The first time was from Jordan Peterson 8th rule for life- Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie. Now the same message comes to me from Peter Block’s seminal work “Flawless Consulting” written in 1981. “. . the most powerful […]
Blog 197 – Learning From Mistakes Not Excuses
Doh! Two days ago I had an important meeting with a potential client. An exciting opportunity lay before me. After the meeting, I was not thrilled with how I’d managed our exchange.

Blog 196 – It Works!
Yesterday one of my friends stopped by my house, and as we were chatting, he said that my daily blog posts over this year have really inspired him, that the daily dicipline of making a list of important things each day and doing your best to knock them out was helping him! Well his words […]
Blog 195 – Taking Stock
I’m past the halfway point for this years journey, it’s almost August. So, this morning I’m sort of taking stock and cataloging where I’m at. I have been 100% on my daily coffee consumption! And I always turn the shower to cold at the end – for better or worse this has become a solid […]
Blog 194 – Re-Aim at the Big Things
My friend Guy wrote about Major vs Minor a few days ago. The jist of his argument is, efficient and meaningful moment toward your goal will only happen if you are focused on the doing things that get you there. Time is precious and can be wasted doing things that don’t matter. We can easily […]
Blog 193 – Categorical Imperative of Using Your Gift

Blog 192 – Carnivore Diet, My Experience
Early this year I experimented with the carnivore diet. Basically just meat and fats, I did eat some cooked greens and broccoli occasionally. But, other than some occasional cooked vegetables, I ate virtually no carbohydrates. No sugar at all. No bread, no pasta. I forced my body to burn fat as fuel. I drank coffee […]
Blog 191 – For Better or Worse
For better or for worse, this is the important question we face each day. How can I make things that matter better? How are my actions and decisions going to affect my circumstance? Here the measure must be my own experience, and my own circumstance. Maybe I can cook up a pretty good omelette, and […]
Blog 190 – Morning Launch
Today I will follow the plan. This is the simple routine I follow. I start by writing a daily blog, then I will perform my minimum excercise, which today is 100 airsquats and 100 pushups.
