And we lived happily ever after — Finding the perfect productivity system is like finding the love of your life. At first, you’re kind of clueless and don’t know what you’re looking for. You test the waters to see what’s out there, deflowering every productivity tool you can get your hands on. After a while, you start…

You look like an athlete

I strolled through the sliding glass doors of the neighborhood Publix supermarket at 6:00 PM on Monday after a particularly long day of work. Grocery shopping is low-key one of my favorite errands. I love food, I love the smells, and I love getting sweet deals on stuff I enjoy…
