It’s that time again. The lead up to the elections in Canada. For the most part, we’re all going to vote the way we usually vote. We’ve already decided because our social media feeds give us more of what we want: Our opinion. And the people on “the other side” aren’t going to convince me…
Every week, I come up with 5 possible blog post ideas. Then, I assign a date to write a post on that idea. Most of the time, I come up with a different idea instead of writing the scheduled one. And so, my list gets bigger. This happens 70% to 80% of the time. Currently,…
As world events continue to escalate, I’ve decided to take action. I’m spending too much time doom-scrolling on my phone. So, I’ve removed FaceBook and Instagram. From my phone. I can still access them on my computer. But not my phone. They’ll find their way back to my phone eventually. But for a little while,…
I just finished Great by Choice again. Man, I love that book. And I love listening to Jim Collin’s read it. Wow. It’s a business book. And yet a few times, some of the stories in it moved me to tears. What qualities do you need to become a great company? A great organization? A…
It’s that time again. I’ve got to curb my TV watching so that I can get other things done. At least, I need to curb it during the week. I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. And I don’t drink to excess. But… I watch a heck of a lot of TV. It keeps me…
Last week, I made a list of some of the books I want to read this year. And right away, I started listening to book that wasn’t on the list. Great by Choice by Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen. I first listened to this book in 2011. And I’ve listened to it a few…
I’m getting close to the final stretch of my 365 blog posts. I only need 37 more posts to reach it. There have been some stumbles. Some dry patches. But I’m still going. It’s more like a marathon than I realized. You start off full of energy and hopeful. As you get further along you…
In January, I told myself that I would try to read 26 books in 2025. A book every two weeks. I haven’t read any yet. Now, that I’ve started my personal New Year, I figured that I should try to get moving on that goal. The thing is that “reading 26 books” or “reading a…
Another year sped by. Last year, we celebrated my birthday in Fort St. John at Keaton and Kate’s place. This year, it’s just Deb and me. But we were at Caileigh and Chris’ place last weekend. And that was my real birthday present. Spending time with my immediate family. The world is a very different…
I’ve added a couple of Countdown indicators to my Momentum dashboard. To keep me focused. The background photos may change, but the march of time will continue. Reminding me… I’ve got a few things coming up in the next little while. All of them need some consistent work. Little by little. Day by day. It’s…
