I’m leaving town for a couple months. In the mean time, I’ve taken in some of the best that DC has to offer, and I hope you won’t miss out.
I recently saw a play and a film that hit me, and there’s one more coming up. So even though I don’t usually write about this, I want to share—fyi, DC only for now.

After a few days at a conference focused on project management, I no longer think I’ve got it bad: I met someone last night who receives over 1000 emails every day.
Fortunately there are still people fighting the good fight. The following are clips about the current state of information overload, as well as possibilities for the future. And don’t miss the Information Overload Research Group’s upcoming conference in September!

I haven’t blogged lately because I’ve overcommitted. When I figure out how to say “no” to more things, I’ll be sure to write about that. But I have figured out how to make better use of the time I do spend working and relaxing.
The following is a video of me from WordCamp Mid-Atlantic talking about both productivity at work and balance in life. Though the presentation was initially geared toward blogging, there are 13 minutes I’ve highlighted that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Three years ago I went through a bunch of books and paid $500 for advice to get my finances in order. I’m so glad I built a system for myself, and I’ve been happy to help many friends since.
Much of my interest in personal finance started when I began reading a blog that’s just now morphed into a book. This book would’ve made my life easier and wallet thicker three years ago. The following are some highlights from the bestselling I Will Teach You To Be Rich.

Gmail has a series of optional features called Gmail Labs. If you’re a Gmail user, some of these can add serious time to your day.
If you want to get yourself out of trouble and be more efficient in Gmail, installing these takes about 60 seconds.

I interviewed Clay in February. He talked about why he moved on from a success that didn’t fit him, and his approach toward his next (now pretty big) endeavor.

The first Bootstrap Maryland conference was a success! Over 200 people spent their Saturday discussing how to build and market a young business. Their enthusiasm and acuity were electrifying.

I’m overdue for a post about AwayFind, but rather than type it out, here are some updates via Thursday’s interview from Robert Scoble and the week before’s with Greg Cangialosi.
Below I’ve indicated the timestamps for when AwayFind, email productivity, and Bootstrap Maryland are discussed…so you can dive right in. After the videos are also some recent links, like being in Gartner’s 2009 Cool Vendor Report : ).

Jeff Widman recognizes the long term value in building relationships and connecting others. But he knows that right now (he’s young and without his own business) it doesn’t pay the bills.
He wrote in to ask how/why I divide my time, knowing how much travel, meetings, and community things keep me busy. With his permission, I’m turning my thoughts on this into a blog post.

The 99 Percent Conference was full of practical tips and poignant insight for turning your ideas into reality.
The following are highlights from one of the best events I’ve attended.
