During BarCamp Montreal 2 Mitch Joel of Twist Image cornered me and threw a microphone in my face. He then peppered me with a bunch of very tough questions trying to extract all my secrets. It was fun. Check it out at Mitch Joel’s blog. I haven’t done many interviews, but hopefully it comes across […]

The Secret To Being Productive
Um…how should I know? Luckily, I don’t have to know all the answers. All I had to do was ask everyone else for their productivity tips and let the magic happen. On Tuesday, April 24th I launched the Ultimate Guide to Productivity Group Writing Project. The idea is simple (and on-going, so feel free to […]
BarCamp Montreal A Great Success, But…
BarCamp Montreal 2 was a great success. I can’t imagine anyone thinking otherwise. And some worthwhile reviews are starting to surface. Evan Prodromou does a good job of reviewing some of the best presentations, highlighting the positives and pointing out some of his perceived negatives as well. Shawna Nelles had a positive experience, participating in […]
The Most Unproductive Question You Can Ask
On most days, I wake up extra early in the morning to get stuff done. It doesn’t always work, but it’s part of the productivity rhythm I’ve developed over the last year. This time is critical for me; no one else in the house is awake, the phone isn’t ringing and there are very few […]
Develop Your Productivity Rhythm For Success
Babies and young kids thrive when they have a routine. They feel more comfortable and safer knowing what to expect and when. A regular routine or schedule helps kids develop and succeed. Creativity loves constraints, after all. Are we really that much different? Harrison at Journal To Financial Freedom tells us that one of his […]
Come To BarCamp Montreal On April 28th
BarCamp Montreal is set for Saturday, April 28th at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT), 1195 Boul. St. Laurent (Google Map). The first BarCamp Montreal was a blast and very worthwhile. I expect this one will be even better. The SAT is a great location, with tons of space, and we’ve had a couple […]
Be More Productive By Taking A Break
All the productivity systems ever invented, all the to-do list sticky notes ever stuck to your desk, and even all the caffeine you’ve ever injected can’t stop you from slowing down and losing focus. Great productivity isn’t about working all the time. Great productivity is about being effective when you’re working. And one key to […]
The Ultimate Guide to Productivity Group Writing Project
Jimi Hendrix once asked, “Are you experienced?” Well… This is neither the time or place to get into that sort of debate, but something we can talk about, and something we all struggle with, is productivity. Although multitasking is a very popular concept, I’m not a huge fan. And I struggle daily with productivity, given […]
Entrepreneurs Should Plan Their Finances And Invest Wisely
Go big or go home. It’s a great mentality; an approach that says, “I’m here to conquer and truly change things, not make a few waves and disappear.” Many entrepreneurs start businesses with the goal of making lots of money. It’s not the only reason to start a business, nor should it be the first, […]
Even Superheroes Have Limitations
I’m a huge comic book fan. And although I don’t use my allowance on comics anymore (what with a mortgage, young child, new house and other assorted fun stuff) I’m still in love with comics. The essence of the comic is the superhero. Really, it’s about lots of different characters, their funky powers and how […]
