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!

It's been a rough(ish) couple of weeks. Scene 1: San Juan. I flew in to keynote for PrimeGlobal and felt a cold creeping in. I left the networking event early, slept, and still woke up scratchy on Tuesday, keynote day. I powered through, lost most of my voice a few hours later, but still walked Old San Juan with my friend Wendy (I didn't feel terrible, and I wasn't going to miss seeing the city). Highlight: a coquito iced latte in a tiny café. Not-a-highlight: realizing my $10.18 drink was ~5...

Happy New Year! We road-tripped to Indiana for family time, then came home to finish the kitchen reno from hell, including a countertop install that “forgot” the stove cutout and an electrician who left a hot wire waving hello.
