I'm glad I didn't know that, or I never would have subscribed! I've never understood the popular but bizarre concept of boosting productivity by spending all your time reading posts about rehashed tips or dubious systems. Like you said, we want to matter more, not necessarily do more, and I think mattering more is what you're about. <em>Hunter Nuttall's last blog post..<a href='http://hunternuttall.com/blog/2008/10/mbti-trial-judging/' rel="nofollow">MBTI Trial Week 4: Judging</a></em> This is a productivity blog?

I didn't want to fill every moment and sleep with a blackberry. I started my business to earn a living and have a life. When you lose a best friend, brother in law and husband at the age of 39, it changes you. I did not want do more but I did want to matter more. So few have talked about it, and I found myself feeling alone and kind of a loser for not wanting what everyone else seemed to be racing to catch. So when I read your post, I wanted to cry. Cry that someone else cares about creating echoes. Thank you.
