Multi-tasking is not a superpower, it’s a weakness – without mastery, digital distractions are causing more harm than good
It’s 2021, the second year in a row that SXSW is not being held live in Austin. During the last, live SXSW, I launched my latest, and first personal book on individual empowerment to overcome our social dilemma.

During the craziness of the Lifescale launch at SXSW 2019 in Austin Texas, I met the international…

Rewired for Distractions vs. Rewiring for Intent
Part of me wishes that LifeScale was released in 2020. I know, I know, it’s not the most popular year. But it is the year that we were, en masse, informed about our “social dilemma” and also further thrust into living a digital-first life at work and at home, which basically became the same thing, i.e. WFH, WFHLife, work from home, work from anywhere, remote work, et al. Early in 2020, as lockdowns were in their initial onset (in some…
