  • Popping in here today to share that the 2016-2017 Get To Work Book, my third round of this product(!) is now for sale and shipping. The new book features an amazing black bookboard cover and I am so happy with how it turned out. Something that I didn't think about when I decided to go…

  • Hooray! Pre-order for the January – December 2016 version of the GET TO WORK BOOK™ is open. The book features the same simple content designed to organize, not compete with, your great ideas. The book carries the same commitment to keeping things made in the USA. The book has the same awesome (and sharpie friendly!)…

  • I recorded a podcast episode on this topic last fall but some variation of "I have so many ideas, but don't know where to start" continues to be one of the phrases that pops up in my email inbox most often. So I figured I would write it out in blog post form. Sometimes hearing…

  • I am finally coming up for air with GTWB shipping. To say it's been intense would be an understatement. To say I don't love every second of it would be a lie. This sort of stuff – organizing, spreadsheeting, list-making, high-lighting, cranking it all out – is absolutely my jam. I signed up for this.…

  • Around here, life is all about getting GET TO WORK BOOK packaged up as best I can and sending them out the door. It's like an adventure that I don't have to leave my house to go on (and I have the fitbit steps to prove it). But progress is being made. On Monday, I…

  • I was so excited to get some behind the scenes photos from Jolby + Friends who did press checks up in Portland on Monday. GET TO WORK BOOK™ is in production. Covers are being printed this week, insides next week and then a there will be few weeks of binding and they'll be out the…

  • I have mentioned a few times that GET TO WORK BOOK™ was designed by Jolby and Friends out of Portland, Oregon. I came to them with the beginnings of a plan and the start of a vision. And they turned around the book design. It was about six months of working together and without a…

  • When I woke up yesterday morning (at 4am after a nightmare that the website had crashed and the Internet was yelling at me on IG) (yikes!) I had no idea what today's blog post would be. Originally, my editorial calendar had said "backyard garden" which would have been a good idea except I can't follow…

  • I’m excited to be opening GET TO WORK BOOK™ for pre-order! This has been BY FAR my longest runway to launch but it’s also miles more legit than anything I’ve done. Even the prototype that I shot for this pre-order is amazing. The real book?! It’s going to be spectacular. You can head over to…

  • One of my favorite "extra" parts of Get To Work Book™ (learn more here!) are the tear out calendar pages. There are 12, one for each month, and while you could totally leave them in the book, they are a bit thicker paper stock and perforated to be torn out and hung on the wall…
