New Revision: Recent Episodes
Thomas Lattimore
A short weekly show about about work, life, and technology. In a world of constant change, how do we keep up while not loosing ourselves in the process? This show hopes to find out.
I've been through a tough season in life. Here are a few ramblings about what I've been learning going through it.
I am pleased to have Mark as my first guest on the show and get deep into the weeds on all things Omnifocus and GTD. It is a long one, folks. My plan is to occassionally release these longer form extended shows as 'bonus episodes'. I hope you enjoy it.
