As much as I enjoy the holidays, I also like returning to work. Does that make me a weirdo? It’s definitely a thing when you have a job you love. As we head into the new year, I’m setting up my new Focused 2023 wall calendar, and I have decided to take advantage of those four empty dots on each day this year. I mean these…

I hope everyone is enjoying a happy holiday season and getting some time off. As I write this, we are finding ourselves in the week between Christmas and New Year. That is the time in the United States when all the weight loss companies blow their entire advertising budget. There’s a reason for that. There’s something about “January 1” that we can’t help but feel a sense of renewal and fresh starts…

Our first Focus Session was a big success, so we’re doing another one on December 29, 2022 at 9:00 AM Pacific. If you’re not familiar with these Focus Sessions, they are a time where a group of us commit to showing up and working on our independent projects but at the same time connected on a zoom call to give us some sense of accountability. Having done our first session last week, I can tell you it works…

Happy Monday! We’re experiencing some rain here in Southern California, which always makes us pretty happy. Last week the Internet blew up over AI. I wrote a post for my public newsletter Friday explaining that you should neither view AI as your savior nor your enemy. Instead, if used correctly, it’s another computer-based tool to help you be more productive. It will make mediocre work easier, but it can also help you do superior work. I got many emails asking how I’m using AI right now. While I’m still figuring out process-based AI (which helps you plan your day), I am writing today about content-based AI (where you ask a question and it gives you a response).… This is a post for MacSparky Labs Members only.

I hope you had a great weekend. Today, I’m hitting the ground running with a planning session for the Early Access members. It’s a busy week for me with three podcast recordings, two live events in the Labs, other videos getting recorded for the Labs, and Field Guide work.
Following up on my glass board question last week, I got lots of good advice in the forums. I’ve decided to try it this week as a sort-of daily list…

I hope everyone that celebrates US Thanksgiving had a lovely holiday. I sure did. I had both my kids home for several days and spent a lot of time with them. This week I’ve made a new addition to my space: A frosted glass whiteboard.…
