RaderCo - Weekender Snapshot


Milestones Reached!

I’ve hit a BIG one—I've finished self-editing my fourth productivity book—Think Work Well. Play More! but for teams & companies.

I didn’t just sit at a desk to do it. I read 40,000+ words out loud over two days while walking, biking, and, yes, hula-hooping! (Check out the LinkedIn post here.) Now, it’s with the amazing Emily Crookston for some polishing.

Meanwhile, I’ve been training 712 accounting pros on how to Work Well Remotely

"This should be mandatory for all remote workers." - Jody Williams

Power tip: Most people think a treadmill desk needs to be at a fast speed, like a workout. Walking at 0.5-1.5 mph is perfect—think strolling, not sweating!

I also showed 338 people how to Break Free From Busy

Remember, don’t let your inbox run your day—tackle one of your top tasks first!

Rhonda Murray was so thrilled with the training that she'll share it with her “distractable friends and family."

I later partnered with Chappaqua School District Leadership to bring movement into their day with walking meetings. Walking side by side can promote openness and honesty and inspire creativity. As a student, I would have loved a walkie-talkie with a teacher, principal, or professor.

In Email Extinguisher, I debunked the myth of "Zero Inbox." Filter or create rules so you don't waste time deleting emails.

I've also been overwhelmed with the people who donated to the village school in Ghana.

We are so close; a few dollars goes a long way there. Every bit helps!

If you feel compelled to skip a latte or dinner out this week to support these amazing kids, please show your support here.

It's also my 50th birthday request: Please don't buy me a gift. Buy an education!

When you get this, I'll be on a plane to an undisclosed destination for my 50th birthday.

Kevin's got it all planned as a surprise.

All I know is that it's somewhere I've never been. It's north, and I need hiking boots. :)

Stay tuned for podcast #100 on my 50 by 50 challenge.

On with the Weekender!

Dolly Parton, screen apnea, and the Meaningful 67. I've been binge-listening to Dolly Parton and doing something I almost never do, which is watching videos on YouTube. When I was four, I sang "Two Doors Down" to my grandparents to their 8-track. I still remember it clearly. Last year I listened to Dolly Parton's America, one of the best podcast series I've ever heard, and her Imagination Library stuck with me. This year Kevin built me my own Little Free Library. It has been such a joy. I...

When one person reads a book about prioritization, they get better at prioritizing. When a team reads it, they get a shared vocabulary for sharing guardrails. That's why the pocket guide is small. It's built to be handed out, carried, and pulled out in a meeting when someone needs a word for what's actually going wrong. Ability. The person you promoted who's drowning. They knew how to prioritize their own work, never a team's, and assuming that skill transfers is how strong technical people...

Think about a priority you keep restarting. A health habit. A relationship. A project that stays at the top of the list and never gets the time. There are three reasons it stalls, and they look identical from the outside. You don't know how. You don't have the room. You're not the one deciding. The Right Things First: A Pocket Guide to Relentless Prioritization is out today, along with the mini-keynote I recorded in Austin, which is the whole argument in 14 minutes. Why it matters:...
