The goal of this blog is to highlight — one idea at a time — specific personal productivity/efficiency techniques that I have found invaluable, almost all of which I use on a daily basis. 

I’ve tried to present each idea in a fairly minimalist fashion, both in the spirit of efficiency and because I think some pretty simple ideas lead to powerful results if taken seriously.

For example, I’ve found that nearly any project, no matter how daunting, can be accomplished if you just internalize (and repeat) the mantra “bit by bit does the trick,” an idea dating back over 2,500 years to the fable “The Crow and the Pitcher” (briefly told under the “About this Blog” post).

To be sure, there are numerous “life hack” sites similar to this, which can make it overwhelming when deciding what particular ideas to adopt for yourself.  To deal with that, I recommend bookmarking one such site, whether this or another, and then visit it once every week or two with a goal of finding just “one idea” to try out before your next visit. (Hopefully, you’ll find at least one such idea here!)

This site is still a work in progress, and I’ll be adding some pictures, downloads, and additional examples to help explain some of the topics that are otherwise hard to communicate with simple verbal descriptions.

Finally, if you have any productivity/efficiency ideas that you’d like to share that have been invaluable in your own life, please let me know via the contact page.  I’ll attribute them by first name and last initial, or however you prefer.

(And please share this site below if you know others who might be interested!)

Thanks for visiting,
