Just the idea of being distracted should send shivers down your spine. Not only does it take you away from the work you’re doing at that time, but it takes away even more time as you have to get back ‘in the zone’ after the distraction.
I used to get distracted with emails, messages and voicemails with ‘can I ask you a quick question’, but I found a solution to this where I now never get distracted and the person asking gets the time and proper answer.
Yesterday I was doing some outreach on LinkedIn and needed to take notes on who I had contacted. Now I know there are LinkedIn browser plugins for automatic connection etc. via LinkedIn, but I’ve always felt that was impersonal.
Also, I didn’t want to use a full-blown CRM for such a simple task. So I fired up Notion and build a mini CRM for my social media outreach. As I always say, it’s best not to cross-pollinate your tools and have an app to do one specific task, so you’re not overwhelmed.
It seems to be working quite well. If anything changed, you’d be the first to know.

Over the years I've helped clients move from one Mac to another, one service to another and even transferred email data to G Suite.
One thing I've found with doing this type of project is that there seems to be this 'need' for tons and tons of folders!
In this video I show you how you why you should stop using folders within your email and give you some ideas on what to do to best free up your time.
If you have any questions, please do contact me. I can also help you move your email over to G Suite for better structuring & ease of use.

I talk a lot about simplicity and Tech Minimalism and everything to do to make life easier for yourself in the tech realm. You know, your working realm. But what I don't talk about is happiness and what happiness means, what happiness means to me, to you to anyone who works with these technologies.

Automation is functional, but only if you use it sparingly. I found myself drowning in a lot of automated systems, and I found I wasn't able to breathe, so I stripped it all back and started again, and it felt great!

It’s funny to think people confuse simple with easy. I’ve said this before, but trying to be simple, is very hard to accomplish. Think about all the simple songs, ads and things around you.
Just because you think they are simple doesn’t mean they’re simple to do or accomplish. So when I saw a Tweet on my feed, it got me thinking about how I work with my clients and the questions they ask me.

Failing at something is never a sign of a bad decision. It’s more of a success story than you might think. Failing often is more of a sign of your willingness to learn from those failures.

Why Use the Cloud and Not Dedicated Servers?
In the past I, and other IT Consultants, installed dedicated servers for businesses, and even freelancers and professionals. However, over the past few years, this has changed.
Today, we tend to use the Cloud, and I think it’s a fantastic situation for many reasons.
In this episode, I go through the reasons why.
