If this is your first time visiting this site – first off, welcome! What is this site about, you ask? Well, glad you asked! (Hah, sorry for putting words in your mouth..)<\/p>\n

For exactly one full year, I’m going to eat up everything I can get my hands on about productivity, and write about it here to make you and me more productive. Everything on this site will be easy-to-read, practical, tactical, valuable, and of course, completely free. (The posts will even be free from copyright.)<\/p>\n

My name is Chris Bailey, and I just graduated from University. In one very small nutshell, I’m a simple, meditating Buddhist who is obsessed with productivity and becoming a better person. As I mentioned on the front page, I received two great full-time job offers, both of which I turned down. Why? Because I wanted to start something exciting – something that doesn’t involve a typical 9-5 schedule, and something I can pour all of my time, energy, and effort into for one year and see how it turns out. That “something” is this website, A Year of Productivity.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This is what I look like. My main features are my glasses and good looks.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m going to learn from the greats (because I’m not one), and read their books, listen to their talks, and interview them so I can learn a ton to make both of us more productive. But I’m not just going to regurgitate what they’re saying; I’m going to take it, experiment with it, and add some of my own spice to\u00a0see what actually works. I’m also going to interview the people who are living<\/i> productivity – from the corporate high-flyer who wakes up at 5:30 every morning to run and read the paper, to the Buddhist monk who lives simply and meditates for 10 hours a day. I wrote a bit more about what you can expect from the project (and a few things I have in the pipeline) here<\/a><\/span>. I also wrote a few quick sample articles for the site so you can get a taste of what it’s going to be like!<\/p>\n

The point of this site isn’t to make money. It’s to dive deep, deep into what it takes to become more productive and share what I learn. You can pitch in<\/a><\/span> a few bucks if you find what I write valuable, want to support me, and want to help build the site up, but you absolutely don’t have to.<\/p>\n

Again, welcome to my little corner of the Internet. It’s going to be an incredible year, and I can’t wait to have you along for the ride. Here are a few pages if you want to learn more about the project!<\/p>\n
