I just kicked off Phase 2 of The Corporate Radical Project. We’re going dark for an extended period of time. Phase 3 will be big… But you’re going to have to wait until Phase 2 is finished… It’ll be a while. If you have questions, Contact Me.
With the relaunch of this project I removed the commenting functionality of this website. I made this change for one important reason… You, like me, are a do-er. This project’s most loyal followers are in the business of getting things done, that really matter… And frankly, blog comments don’t really matter. Sure, I received a fair amount of comments (mainly from other bloggers), but the core audience of this site wasn’t commenting. I’m the same way… On an given … →
Did you read my post back in January on how important sleep is and how to get more of it? If you haven’t implemented the 21-day plan I outlined in that post then maybe this will help. Tony Schwartz, author of The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working and CEO of The Energy Project, wrote an article on the Harvard Business Review blog about how sleep is more important to our health and professional performance than food. The beginning of Tony’s article … →

This is a great TEDx presentation by 37Signals’ Jason Fried on why we can’t get anything done at the office, and why the best work we do actually happens in other places and at other times.

Inbox Zero is so relaxing; opening my email in the morning to find only a few sitting in my inbox rather than a thousand is a great feeling… Especially if you’ve been dealing with those thousands for months. But my inbox zero nirvana wouldn’t be possible without my two favorite productivity tools; Remember the Milk, which I’ve written about before, and Evernote. I’ve written about RTM best practices in the past, so you might take a peak at those articles. … →
Seth Godin wrote a post on his blog about measuring busy-ness, and how it’s so much easier than measuring business. Go read the post, it’ll take you 2 minutes, then come back and read on… We want to look busy, and we want others to know just how busy we think we are. Checking email at 11pm, leaving the office late, running from meeting to meeting all day, missing your children’s school play to meet a deadline… Unfortunately, this is … →
It seems like I’m always listening to people tell me how little they sleep, how exhausted they are, and how much caffeine they need to stay alive at work. Just like with working late, a lot of people where the fact that they only got 4 hours of sleep each night last week as a badge of honor. This is complete idiocy. Let me preface this by saying yes, there are times we all lose sleep, there are times we all work … →
This infographic from the OnlineMBA Blog is great and I just had to pass it along. So exactly how much time is wasted? On average, there are actually 3 hours per 8 hour day wasted NOT including breaks and lunch. And all of this wasted time = wasted money. Over 750 billion dollars annually is wasted by employers paying employees for non productivity. Do you think employees would waste less time if they enjoyed their work, enjoyed where they work, … →
It’s so easy to spend all of the time you should be getting things done researching tools and techniques to get things done. And that’s where the problem is… There’s too much information. It’s difficult for many of us to get to the point of working less because we spend too much time figuring out how to work less. I stumbled across a review of the Get It Done Guy’s latest book, 9 Steps to Work Less and Do More, … →
