Isn’t this a great retro LP cover? No, my post today is not about dinner parties but it is about the genius of planning. It can make you rich, famous, well-liked, and any other goal you might have. It’s been said that if you do the right things long enough then the [...]

To live life without learning is foolishness. In a world full of preachers and teachers, who should we listen to?

DATSOL: Damien at the Speed of Life

Limiting yourself to 3 priorities on your “todo” list can really make you more productive. I had a lot to do today. In fact, it was so much it was quite overwhelming. I decided to take on my pool first. It has this very odd looking green algae growing on the [...]

Teaching is in some ways like having too many toys and nothing to play with. Back to school for the planner can feel quite overwhelming unless one has defined goals. When you consider a child’s needs in 185 days and all the things you could do to meet those learning needs, it is overwhelming. The [...]
