A book I am reading, that I will attempt to emulate, is written almost as one long exhale  with the only breaths as chapters, sentences span pages and pages, and all the while they tell stories that sound true but yet to crazy to be. Its hard, I don't even...

The shape up pdf from the guys who made basecamp is so great. I think for me I never really understood how to move ideas into actual things. Like I understood that tasks needed to be done, but never how to link those tasks. Like a person who knew where...
