What's In My Toolbox Part 2 Passion Planner July 01, 2024

Passion Planner Today I’d like to talk about my Passion Planner which I’ve been using for a decade. (That’s as long as it’s existed!) I initially got a free download pdf of the planner for sharing the kickstarter on social media. I printed it out at staples using different coloured paper for each month and put it in a binder. For I think the first 3 years I used the free downloadable version. They have a bunch of free downloads on their site. Whole planners, one month, daily planners, various habit trackers. If you’d like a real planner and can’t... (more)

Spring! June 07, 2024

This is my first single with a b-side that I’ve released and I’m quite pleased with it. I had initially just planned to release the song Spring! but once I had it recorded, I thought that the very short and sweet Seeds would make a great accompaniment. Spring! initially came out of my involvement with Tree Songs, a series of online concerts that were set up to raise awareness around a forest in our nation’s capital slated to be cut down to, get this, put up a parking lot.

What's In My Toolbox Part 1 My Productivity Tools February 14, 2024

Each year my household chooses a theme which becomes a sort of mantra for the year. We choose something that fits with our goals and we build around it. We don’t always achieve our goals, but the theme always enhances our lives in some way. Last year the theme was Barbaric Productivity. We focused on getting stuff done. I didn’t get all the things done that I wanted, but I ended up discovering some productivity tools that I am finding very helpful. I thought it would be fun to share. Two I pay for and opted for their annual plan,... (more)
