by Sean Howard & Eric Portelance
album Attention Surplus
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
This is as close as you’ll get to New Year’s resolutions from us: Eric talks about how he came to write a self-critical personal manifesto for 2012, and Sean offers his theory of a “threshold of distasteful actions” as one of the roots of procrastination.
Next week, we dig into Eric’s manifesto.
We mention:
- Sean’s New Year’s Eve exercise for recognizing your accomplishments
- Episode 42, with Jon Crowley
- Episode 38: Valuing What You Do
- the Inbox Zero method

#42: Things I Learned in 2011, with Jon Crowley
by Sean Howard & Eric Portelance
album Attention Surplus
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
A great way to wrap up the year. One of our best, I think.
The new year is almost upon us, and we felt it was time to look back at what we’ve learned over the past twelve months. Strategist Jon Crowley joins us for a discussion inspired by his thought-provoking insights from 2011 on balance, flow, leadership, discipline, and doing what you love.
Follow Jon’s Tumblr feed, or find him on Twitter at @joncrowley.
We mention:
- Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (see also his 2008 TED Talk on flow)
- The mental models of Charlie Munger
And to all our listeners, we wish you a purposeful, passionate, action-packed 2012.
