What I struggle with every day…
Seth Godin truly nailed it on the head today with a short blog post titled “In and out“. That’s one of the most important decisions you’ll make today. How much time and effort should be spent on intake, on inbound messages, on absorbing data… and how much time and effort should be invested in output, [...]
Today’s quote from “Meditations”
Last fall I started blogging what I hoped might become a series of posts based on reading “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius. (Check it out here.)
