Sustainable by Design
What if sustainability wasn't about how long you could keep going, but about whether the going was actually worth sustaining?
That is a different question than the one most business advice asks. Most of it is concerned with endurance. How do you keep up the pace? How do you maintain output? How do you scale without breaking? The assumption underneath all of it is that the direction is right and the only problem is the stamina.
But stamina in service of the wrong thing is not sustainability. It is just a slower kind of depletion.
The tools I actually use
People ask me about tools a lot. What do I use for scheduling? What about invoicing? How do I manage my calendar without losing my mind?
For a long time, I answered these questions one conversation at a time. Then I realized I was having the same conversation over and over, which is usually a sign that something wants to be written down.
So I wrote it down.
My tools page is my honest answer to the question: What do you actually use? Not what I have tried or used in the past, not what I want to try, not what a client is using. But what is open on my screen on a regular Tuesday.
