Why I Don't Track Phone Usage
People are surprised to learn that don’t track phone usage. We are still in January — the month that has 8,064 days in it. Many of those days we are bombarded with messages that we need to change just about everything about our lives in order to become a better person.

Quitting - Quietly or Otherwise
Consiser this a content warning during the 8,074 days that make up the month of January. The month where you cannot swing a dead cat without hearing "NEW YEAR NEW YOU!"

This is Sustainable Productivity
Sustainable Productivity is the backbone of the work you are doing to create a life you don’t need to escape. As you are deciding if the adjustment is the right next step for you, ask yourself this question: “Can I continue to do this lifelong?” Not that you must continue forever, but could you if you wanted to. It is ok to change your mind and of course, life changes around you. It is natural that internal and external factors impact our habits. Sometimes the answer to the Sustainable Productivity question (“Can I continue to do this lifelong?”) is no.
