Why You Need This Site

I see a world where the majority of people are extremely busy. So busy in fact they make unneeded mistakes, causing delays, and leading to pain for themselves, theircoworkers, friends and family members.

We live life applying brute force to make it through each day. We are not only too busy to make the world a better place (volunteer, help a nonprofit, fight government corruption), but we are too busy for our own family and friends.

I believe there is a better way. All this pain can be avoided. My theory is that in a world where there is never enough time, extraordinary results are produced from the people or organizations that can manage time the best. Time is the ultimate scare resource, we must protect it from waste. I would go as far as saying that most failure at the individual and organizational level is caused from poor time management and personal productivity.

With a background in economics I see inefficiencies, waste and overall suckiness every where I look: in the workplace, at home, in relationships, politics/government, culture. When things go wrong when obvious solutions could have been enacted it makes me angry.

The cause I see most often for suckiness is lack of coordination, systems and communication among teams of people, and lack of personal organization and time management by the individual.

I’m on a mission to uncover techniques, systems and methods that help us be efficient, effective and ultimately enable us to do extraordinary things.

Topics on the company-level will include organizational collaboration, team communication, inspiring employees to do their best work, and how organizations can streamline their processes and systems to create great things with less effort.

Topics on the individual-level will include personal productivity tips and tricks to help you work less and do more and how to organize all of your STUFF (projects, ideas, to-dos) to help you Do Work.
