October 20, 2016 By Joel Runyon 4 Comments

If you want to make changes to your productivity routine, you might want to change the things that you put in your...ears. Here's a few hacks that have worked for me to help you get locked in and get more work done. Infinite Repeat I started doing this a few years ago on accident.

Bullsh*t Creep

October 17, 2016 By Joel Runyon 15 Comments

Beware the bullsh*t creep. It’s silent, subtle and deadly. It’s starts off innocently enough, but pretty soon, it starts to affects your life outlook: You sleep in 1 day - you start to think it’s okay to be late to things and don't respect people's time. You let 1 assignment go unfinished - you think it’s okay to not finish projects. You become a starter, but not a finisher. You forget to workout - you think that “1 day” won’t really ...

October 4, 2016 By Joel Runyon 7 Comments

hummer motivation

My buddy Tim has an old school Hummer. It's a former military vehicle stripped to the frame, made non-street-legal, rebuilt and made road-legal again. You can drive it damn near anywhere and no obstacle is gonna get in it's way. It's a fun machine to drive around. It just goes - no questions asked. But, it runs on a diesel engine.
