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!

Q4 budget windows close fast. If you're looking for something to give your team before the year ends, I want to make sure you know this exists. The Right Things First is a pocket guide to relentless prioritization across health, work, relationships, home, and digital life. Small enough for a back pocket. Practical enough to use the same week it arrives. Every copy includes a free audio version I recorded (65 minutes). It works as a standalone team resource or paired with a keynote or...

Planning is a productive-looking way to procrastinate. An afternoon, a document, and the feeling you worked on the quarter. Then you can execute a list you never examined. Why it matters: If you can't plan, you can't prioritize. If you're not prioritizing, you're planning the wrong things. There's a step before both. Reflect. Prioritize. Plan. In that order. One thing you can do now: Before you plan next quarter, answer one question about the last one. What did you keep saying yes to that...

Optimize or prioritize? | When everything feels urgent | Peyton Manning Last weekend was super fun and active. My brother came to visit, and we hiked about 10 miles, visited the trolls at Dorothea Dix Park, and saw Salt-N-Pepa, En Vogue, and TLC. I also showed him how to use Claude to improve his SEO, GEO, and AEO for his steel business. With Emily Crookston and Todd Rader at the Iconic concert. The setup matters more than the ask: Claude needs to understand your business before you ask it to...
