Think right now about everything you're supposed to be doing right now that you're instead putting off. Think really hard about it, list it out, and really assess it. Why are you putting them off?

Who can you trust enough to share the idea with and know they won't take it and run with it as their own. You've heard the stories of men making millions on a stolen idea, leaving their former friend to poverty. Not you! You'll keep it to yourself. You'll make them sign the NDA. Or, if you're smart, you'll get over the paranoia.

Laziness Earns Nothing

We're human. We have a pension for being averse to work. Procrastination, negotiation, and distraction all become a part of what we do to avoid the work. Often times we expend more energy and time avoiding the work than we would actually doing the work. It's incredible, and a little asinine. Laziness stems from the displeasure of the task at hand.

There’s An App For That

4 years ago | 2 minute read

I've been milling over some things lately about the way we do business. It amazes me how even technology focused individuals like myself often utilize "the old fashioned way" of doing things. I still put the most important "to-dos" on paper, I still order pizza (when I eat it) over the phone, and I still buy birthday presents in store instead of online.
