About Me

73 year-old former city attorney in Mesa, AZ, and city manager in Roseville, MN, Federal Way, WA, and Windham, CT. Now, in retirement, a reader and sometimes writer. Wrote "A New Constitution for the USA," and now working on a second edition. Trying to be the best I can be in the autumn of my life (hence, Amplenote and a variety of other apps), and prepared, as much as one can prepare, for the winter of my life.

It Was Just Fun To Fill Out
Total Notes And Tasks

One week into Amplenote. Liking it, but still using variety of other apps.

Productivity Tactics

Enjoying the Bullet Journal plug-in that nudges one toward a positive mindset the way the whole app nudges one toward productivity.

Long Term Goals Completed

Married a wonderful woman and had good kids. Did mostly good work that helped people, I hope. Wrote a book.

Favorite City

Live in Rapid City, SD, near Mount Rushmore, waiting for my image to be carved there. Could be a long wait.

I especially like the close integration of capture, refine, organize, do -- each step nudging one forward and backward to the other steps.

Also, the keyboard shortcuts and slick layout make navigation and execution kinda fun. A playground for productivity.
