Social Media Productivity Hacks 6
I’m using the phrase “productivity hacks” because it sounds a lot sexier than saying “tools I found online to help me do my job a little better or a little easier.” And, yes, my best hacking days (such that they exist) are ahead of me. This edition is a little bit of...
Six for 2016
It's a new year (happy new year!), and I'm not going to start by talking about trends. Instead, I'm going to talk about goals and expectations. This isn't about deep thoughts -- or trite inspirational quotes. I'm not a maker of new year's resolutions. That said, a...

The “Right” Solution Isn’t Always Right
It’s a right-handed world, and some days I just muddle through it. While lots of tools are “ambi-neutral,” many others are not. Scissors are definitively in the not column. But so too are many can openers, ice cream scoops, and other everyday household items. Even my...
