Sometimes Done is Better Than Perfect

LifeReboot.com -- I tried approaching my seemingly endless task of writing a book with the mantra Sometimes done is better than perfect.  The idea was to use my hour long lunch break as a time to dedicate for writing.  I was doing well for a while, and I managed to practically fill an entire notepad with single-spaced handwritten story.  Unfortunately, not even a month into it and Im starting to fall off the habit....     08-18

The Power of an Hour: How I turned my Lunch Break into a Novel

LifeReboot.com -- Ive previously written about the Power of an Hour, where I said that in order to achieve a long-term goal, its best to break it down.  Maybe you want to get in shape, learn a foreign language, or master a musical instrument.  Although none of these goals can be accomplished overnight, you can gradually work towards them by dedicating an hour to them each day. Currently, I have two long-term goals:...     08-03

How Cancer Changed Everything

LifeReboot.com -- Two weeks ago, if youd have asked me what was on my mind, Id have answered with a rather ordinary response.  I likely would have told you that I just signed a lease to a new apartment, and was excited about moving into the new place.  I likely would have told you that I had started taking piano lessons again, and that I was happy with my recent progress.  I likely would have told you that nothing ...     03-06

Irrational Entitlement: No matter where I’m working, I always feel like I’m being taken for granted, and that I deserve better.

LifeReboot.com -- I read an article today called Dude, wheres my job? - What happens when the most entitled generation ever hits a recession.  In a sentence, its about how recent college graduates expect to have their pick of limitless career opportunities, and are completely unprepared for the economic crisis. The entire article summarized a lot of what Ive thought and experienced since I graduated in 2003, but wh...     01-15

What You Like to Do and What You Have to Do

LifeReboot.com -- Nice to meet you, I saidpolitely shaking her hand as I smiled. Likewise, she said in the same, quick, how-do-you-do manner. I had already been introduced to a few dozen strangers that night, and like all the others before her I had already forgotten her name.  What was different was that this tiny exchange of hellos happened just seconds before those who introduced us disappeared to talk amongst t...     2008

Why Multiplication is Cooler than Addition

LifeReboot.com -- A few months ago I invited Dereck Coatney to write a guest post here on LifeReboot.  The reason for doing so was because Dereck had this interesting idea where he wanted to leave his office cubicle and ride his bike across the country.  In short, Dereck wanted to reinvent himself, and I wanted to support him in doing so.

Life’s Too Short to Fold Your Underwear

If I read any of the articles inside, I have since forgotten them.  I have not, however, forgotten ...     2008
