The Win: You’ll be able to keep track of all your projects at the same time, across multiple Trello boards and gives you back a feeling of control. The Pain: Once you start using Trello in earnest, you automatically end up with lots of boards. It can become difficult to keep track of what you […]
Retrospective: My Trello workshop at Hubud in Bali
My family and I are currently travelling in Bali and Australia for a few months. It’s our last chance for a grand gesture before our son starts school back in London in September. For the last 5 weeks I’ve been stationed at the lovely Hubud co-working space in Ubud, Bali. If you’ve ever wanted to work in a […]
90 Days of Massive Action #3
I have never ever ever ever ever tracked and reviewed what I do so deeply as I do now. Short post – I am making serious progress in my “days of massive action” quest. Longer Post It hurts when I miss something, fuck something up, feel shit, get low on energy, low on money, low […]
The No Complain Diet.
I have managed to glean a huge amount of time this year. Most of it has been a result of keeping my mouth shut. The biggest chunk of keeping my mouth shut has come from not complaining. Sorry to shatter your idea of happy nice guy Bernie…. Being negative about other people and things without […]
90 Days of Massive Action #01
I think I am finally there. While we were up on a mountain in Italy for the OuiShare summit a lot of things came together for me. At one point I was chatting and said I am not sure why I came, even more so, I brought #babybernie too and he did not know why […]
I loved this! – Linkedin Out Loud!
Film and Creative company Joseph Joseph cherry-picked real quotations from millions of Linkedin profile summaries and invited actors to read them out loud. LinkedIn – OUT LOUD! (part 1) youtube.com “There is only one boss. And his name is Mr. Customer!” “Anyone can make money. But it takes a special set of skills […]
Five things that are working well for me this week #101
1. Grass Fed Irish Butter in my coffee. Ok there is a little bit more to this. On Dave Asprey’s BulletProof food plan your breakfast is a big mug of high grade coffee served with grass fed butter and MCT oil (High grade coconut Oil) this is all blended together to produce a delicious, rich […]
Why a Mailchimp email is better than a Facebook page
I am always getting a kick in from people about emails. I don’t like WORKING in email – it is a time suck and a closed loop. Where as tools like Trello, Asana and the amazing Slack allow open and transparent collaborative communication. My point today is about email lists – I call mine my […]
Mile End vs Bernie World
I am on the way home and have been walking through a part of my life that I have not seen for a while. Three or four “Bernie Worlds” collided tonight in a really good way. Every time I am around the stretch of London that runs from Brick Lane to Mile End I get […]
Natalie Bennett: Daring Greatly and always in #Beta
Natalie Bennett dived on Radio yesterday so of course she can’t be Prime Minister. Off with her head! She is meant to be shaping up to pitch to run the country, changing society and challenging the status quo. She can’t even speak. The guy interviewing her LOVED it, his perverse radio glee was so ripe […]
A day in the life of Bernie
Of course this would be much more interesting for you to read if I was mud wrestling with Hilary Clinton or had just released a new tune with Bruno Mars. My life is pretty mundane so the last thing you need to do is think I am showing off in this blog post. I enjoy […]
Why I’m not a writer – YET
Ramsey has a blog post by Blog Tyrant that I make myself go back to every so often. “Why you are not a writer” is a list of what we do instead of writing. That list of important things like ‘getting set up to write’ that take longer to get ready than actual writing. I […]
I think reading is the best gift you can give a child
Every since I met #Babybernie I have been thinking what is the best gift I could give him, what is the one thing that would connect to everything else? The one thing I come up with is reading, being able to read a book a week – so in 10 years he would have read […]
Ctr Alt Del. So while I was in Argentina….
SO I have been walking around all day thinking about what to blog about. We are back from four weeks in Argentina and everything shifted for the better. Just before we went I was at the end of my emotional string, not in a bad way – more like “Post Post Traumatic Stress.” The end […]
No Complaint Diet
Introduce negative people to each other and then run away. Last year I was having breakfast in the kitchen at 90 Mainyard with Tori and started a sentence “Look I know this is a bit cruel and negative but I have to say that xxxx” She stopped me and asked well if it is like […]
