A Quiet Life

Today I talk with Scottie about Christmas. The panic of it. And some things you can do to help with that. We’re in the middle of it now. Right in the middle of all the Christmas activities. Take some time to breathe. I’m going to put some suggestions up on this blog that you may […]

Today Scottie and I revisit our year themes from January and look at one method for exploring a theme for the year ahead. If you would like information on my novels, head to rjamos.com As I write this, it’s the end of November. Already. And that means that the new year (yes, 2022) is just […]

This week was appeal week at Ultra106.5 so Scottie and I talked about the station and how you can be a part of the good work they do. So, just for fun, I finish this podcast by telling you a story about milk and how it threw a whole department into disarray. I hope you […]

This week Scottie gets all excited because he’s talking to Matt Goss from Bros and I get all excited about electronic calendars. We discuss all the different ways I use mine, and how totally lost I would be without it. Do you have a topic you would like me to cover? Email me at [email protected] […]

Moz was getting ready to go to work the other day. He put his jacket on and then checked all the pockets to make sure he had all the things – watch, phone, wallet, keys, pen – you know, all the things. As he patted his jacket, it made a crinkly noise.  ‘What’s that?’ He reached […]

A few years ago, I decided that I needed to help myself to simplify my life. I called that year My Year of Saying NO, and I even wrote a book about it.  I am very good at saying ‘yes’ when people ask me to do things. I find it very uncomfortable to say ‘no’. […]

Last time I wrote about doing jobs and activities where you enjoy the process and not just the outcome. It made me think about the types of goals that we can have in our lives.  How it’s better to focus in our goals on process rather than outcome. On systems rather than milestones. We all […]

We’ve been watching the Olympics a lot lately, getting our fix of all the different kinds of sport. So I thought I’d start this blog with a sports example. Here’s a story about Novak Djokovic: “[Tennis champion] Novak Djokovic said in an interview with the Financial Times that “I can carry on playing at this […]
