Make Life Easier With This Book
Have you ever wished that you could do less and get more out of life? Well it turns out you can if you know how to hack your life. Last year I interviewed Ari Meisel for a video I was producing at workbecause he suffers from Crohn’s disease and he had developed ways to reduce his symptoms.
One of the ways was through stress reduction. He’s basically optimized, automated and outsourced every aspect of his life. Three of my favorite things! You’ll hear more from Ari when you read my book “Listfu...

Something happened this week that I honestly didn’t think would ever happen. Evernote crashed! My beloved “second brain” was down for several hours on Tuesday and had issues throughout the day. This was due to a DDoS attack – a cyber attack where criminals attempting to disable a business’s functionality, by sending an overwhelming amount of data to a company’s systems.

Any season is great for list making but summer is especially perfect. There’s always so much I want to do and hopefully the weather cooperates. With a busy schedule and summertime just around the corner, it’s a great time to make a list of goals to accomplish by the end of the summer.
My Summer Goals
1. Go to the beach at least two times. I grew up near the beach on Long Island and strangely enough I haven’t been on the sand in the summer in a few years.
2. Read...

Cleanly App (Photo Credit: darnellthenewsman.com)
I’ve always had a love/ hate relationship with cleaning. Being tidy and organized helps increase your productivity and makes you feel less stressed—but the process of cleaning is never fun! As a kid my mom even nicknamed me “the mess maker.” Even though I would make a big mess – I would always clean it up!
Especially when you have a lot on your plate, it’s easy to push cleaning off to the bottom of your “to-do” list.
Luckily, many apps have been...
