Great article (with a fairly clickbait-y headline) on why the busiest of people stick to tight calendar schedules, and how to set yours up in a similar fashion. My favorite simple advice which I’ll be putting to use:


Rogue Nation, and The Heroes We Need

There’s a special thing that happens to you when you watch all of the Mission Impossible films back-to-back-to-back-to back-to-back. I know, because this is something I did recently, in anticipation of watching the newest movie in theaters. This wasn’t entirely…
