I have found it helpful to do intense time tracking on my work activities for about 2 weeks and about twice per year. It helps me realize what I haven’t been putting enough time into, what is taking too much time, what my most valuable activities are, and how valuable my activities are.

I think it’s more likely that sunscreen causes skin cancer than sun exposure causing skin cancer.

A local realtor recently got a huge boost in property value after this kitchen makeover. It was a pleasure to help with the design and cabinetry.

Chris and his family moved into a new home with a closed off kitchen that was not a good use of space. He explained his vision for the remodel, we drew up the plans, designed a custom white oak island, then went to work. Now his family has a beautiful, spacious home.
