Evernote, Tweetbot, Zite, Google Docs, Mailbox, MapMyRun, Kindle
What’s your workspace like? Home: Dining Room Table overlooking back yard Office: Desk with too many sticky notes
Home Office
What’s your best time-saving trick?  One step back to take two steps forward. Walk away from the work for a bit. Its amazing how even a 30 minute break accelerates my progress. 
What’s your favorite to-do list manager? My wife and orange sticky notes
Besides your phone and computer, what gadget can’t you live without? iPad Mini

What do you listen to while you work? Beatles and Podcasts: Shift, NPR, 60 Second Mind, On Being, Radio Lab, TED, Tayloring It,

Fill in the blank. I’d love to see ______ answer these same questions. Me in 10 years
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? Love yourself.  Not in a narcissistic way but a patient, forgiving one. Thanks Mom.
