Dear Readers,

A sneaky bit of music

Focused Interview

Check out the Focused podcast with David Sparks and Mike Schmitz. I'll be hanging out with them chatting away about productivity, getting to goals, and other such matters.

Creating Flow with OmniFocus minor update

There are two new files added to your Creating Flow with OmniFocus purchase:

Creating Flow with OmniFocus - BW (ePub)
Creating Flow with OmniFocus - BW (PDF)

Note, this is not new content. Instead, these are versions with darker font to make it easier to read for those using eInk readers. The files end in “BW”. You can access them through your original purchase email.
