After reading Alan Webber's Rules of Thumb book I realized I've been helping myself learn the way he wrote about...for years now...reading and taking notes on things to apply and keeping those notes handy so those things I'm learning actually impact my daily life.
The authors that inspired me to take notes and change were Ken Blanchard and Jim Collins. The people that helped me work through that are Randy and Neill. Thanks guys!
I've got a few sets of notes on large rings I take with me when I travel.

Wasting Time from Seth Godin
A Waste Of Time? Another gem from Seth Godin. Usually what I get from Seth is either an idea or inspiration that triggers action. I'm sure my wife and my boss . . . and my kids appreciate that!
Thanks, Seth!
Thanks, Seth!
My Rules of Thumb
Definition of RULE OF THUMB
From Merriam-Webster:
1: a method of procedure based on experience and common sense
2: a general principle regarded as roughly correct but not intended to be scientifically accurate
My plan: Writing actionable "Take-Aways" from whatever I'm experiencing, books I read and people I talk to as the source. Sometimes these Take-Aways will be broad, encompassing major points...at other times it may only be dealing with one issue in particular.
