For a few years now I’ve been writing about productivity, life design, and personal growth — building a system I call Fractal Productivity. A few starting points:
- Fractal Productivity — Why personal work is surprisingly self-similar — the idea the whole system is built on.
- The Ultimate Guide to Personal Program Management — Running a life change as a grand, finite, transformative campaign.
- ±PEAKER: The Ultimate Org Method — An eight-space framework for organizing a whole digital life.
- In Pursuit of Productiveness — Productivity versus productiveness — a distinction that changes the goal.
- Work Fixtures — Describe the state you need, not the ritual you follow.
- Stop Cleaning Up Your Read-Later List — Why digital “hoarding” is a straw man.
- Effort Density — The hidden weight of modern work.
- Why You Suck At Goal-Setting — A no-bullshit guide to goals that actually carry.
- What Gets Measured Gets Manipulated (Maybe) — On the promise and the trap of self-tracking.
- Digital Rings of Power — How your software quietly infiltrates your thoughts.
