This Is What It’s Like to Eat Your Last Meal and Think About Never Waking Up Again | This annual trip to the hospital started in 2015 when I felt a little off. I saw my doctor and he told me it was nothing and to take vitamin pills. My girlfriend at the time told me to get a second opinion. I refused for six months until, finally, she forced me to see her family doctor.

3 Steps to Run Better and More Effective Meetings | Meetings take a big chunk of our time. Yet, unlike with personal productivity, little is done to optimise them fully. Why? For two reasons:

Even if we are in control, no one taught us how to run valuable and energising meetings.

An Experiment in Creating a Writing Income Stream on Amazon | I had an epiphany recently.
My daughter told me that she’d read that short-reads do well on Amazon. Especially in Kindle Unlimited. And that made sense to me. Amazon is basically a giant search engine.

It’s Not ‘Writer’s Block’ — It’s Emptiness. | The phrase ‘Writer’s Block’ looms over all of us who dare to pick up a pen or tap out sentences on our computers. It suggests that we, the writer, have hit an impasse — we’ve strained too hard, or squeezed out every inch of creativity we had, with nothing left. Well, I have a confession to make…
