I have this problem where I have one idea that I can sit down and chew on at length while other ideas chew on me.

December 2025 – Defining Done
In this post: A short discussion about defining when your task or goal has satisfactorily been met. Back in July of 2023, I wrote a post on Objectives and Key Results.

November 2025: Create!
In this post: Basically a minimal rationale call to action that you should consume less and create more. The premise for this post falls entirely on the idea that we should try to tip the scale slightly more creative than we currently do. When I say create, I am essentially talking about art. When IContinue reading “November 2025: Create!”
