Ok, so in this current season of my life, things are a bit hectic to say the least (spiritual formation, family, 45+ hours of work, MBA work, trying to stay fit, etc). Navigating all of this and still staying on top of my own “load” is certainly a desire I have, as is the ability to clear my mind so that when I am with my family, I can be totally present with them (not always successful, but seeing improvement of late). Coupled with these desires is my professional drive to be innovative and creative.

A couple notions I have adapted with respect to those two drives (innovation & creativity) are (a) it is very hard to sit in a meeting and declare “let’s be creative!”, and (b) I am most productive when my mind is clear, and I have a clear idea of what needs to get done.

So, with those initiatives and notions in mind, here is the latest version of my creative productivity suite of resources and methodologies to get things done, while striving to be innovative, and creative.

Here is the list of tools I use (these are all interconnected in some weird hybrid fashion that works for me):

hardware
MacBook Pro
Palm Centro
Moleskine
