Here are a couple of guest posts I’ve done recently ’round the blogosphere:
How to Stay Focused: Vision Maintenance and the Minutiae Vacuum
“I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to stay focused and remain productive. We all know that doing what you love reverse engineers productivity.

There are a few great things I think we can learn from the best of each of these professions. After all, sometimes the best lessons come from the most unexpected sources. This advice can be applied to your career, or if you’re an entrepreneur, with clients.”
“What have you been reading lately that’s caught your eye?”

Alex: Wow, I’m glad you were thwarted. I’m glad you’re still around!
Evan: That’s sounds really interesting. Mostly because that’s what I’m trying to do right now. What would your biggest takeaway(s) be from it?
