Share Question the Rules is for people who think they might be crazy. For those of you who think you might be the only one who can’t stand to live and work in the normal way anymore. Where the default “shoulds” and rules of society don’t work for you – they don’t make you happy [...]

I Am a Writer. So What.
Share I’ve written 22,000+ tweets. Hundreds of blog posts. Published a book. There are 24 entries in my “blog post ideas” text file. A few one-liners, a few with a couple bullet points, and two that are brain dumps of half-formed paragraphs and unconnected ideas. I spend a fair amount of my life in the [...]

Why I'm Letting Go of Things That Make Money
Share In the last 30 days, I decided to not relaunch The Money Tree System, to put my book Grow Up! Strategies on clearance, and to shut down TheWealthSpa.com. These decisions seem completely unreasonable. The program makes money. The book was already printed. The website got google organic traffic. But sometimes the only way to [...]
The Profoundness of a T-Shirt
Share Not sure exactly when it was, probably 10 or 12 years ago, when I stopped buying t-shirts. Because grown-up professionals don’t wear t-shirts, right? They wear sweaters and blouses and button downs. Jackets over cute tops with coordinating scarves and necklaces. Tailored pants. Heels. And so I thought that was what I was “supposed” [...]
The EPW Bucket List: Who Wants to Join Me?
Share What’s a bucket list? A “bucket list” is everything you want to do before you “kick the bucket” — everything you want to do before you die. The first time I made a bucket list was in my freshman year of high school. It was 1989. Sitting in the back of an auditorium filled [...]
How to Incorporate Adventure into Ordinary Life
Share The top question I got from my adventure/crazy posts: Sake & Ziplines, Couches & Swords: What I Learned on #austinadventures w/ @CouchSurfingOri, The Real Reason I’m Moving to San Francisco (video), and Making the Commitment to Signposts & Sh*t Piles was … yes, I love the idea of adventure, but I have kids, I [...]
The Real Reason I'm Moving to San Francisco
Share Yes, I was planning to move to San Diego. Yes, I’ve been talking about it since August. Yes, now I’m moving to San Francisco. And yes, you are not the only person to wonder, what the heck is up w/ that? Here’s the video to explain why …. So what do you need to [...]
Sake & Ziplines, Couches & Swords: What I Learned on #austinadventures w/ @CouchSurfingOri
Share I sat down to write this blog post about my adventures in Austin 4+ hours ago. But I did not even opened up a blank text document to get started until this moment. Instead, I futzed around on twitter. Facebook. Skype. Checked my Google Analytics. Researched when Lilith Fair will be touring this summer. [...]
Why I'm Not Setting Goals or Picking Words for 2010
Share (This post is the lame post that I didn’t publish a few days ago. But, now I’m thinking maybe it really wasn’t lame. Either way, following the assignments of my amazing commenters, here you go. If you like it, good. If not, I warned you.) Here’s the process taught by Pax Programs to find [...]
