project management at an iPhone application development company.
My book Time Management That Doesn't Suck was inspired by my own frustration with existing time management tools. Especially when you are working as a freelancer (meaning outside of an office environment), you really need to be responsible for your time. You aren't on a salary, and there's no one breathing down your neck telling you what to do. So if you don't manage your time effectively, you won't be able to survive.
While I'm working, I like to travel around the world. In the last year, I've lived in Malaysia (5 months), Arizona (2 months), and Bulgaria on the black sea coast (3 months). I also visited Thailand (2 weeks) and Singapore (2 weeks).
My favorite place to work is The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and I wholeheartedly recommend the Vanilla Ice-Blended Coffee with an added Espresso shot.
There's no great secret to my lifestyle. Just a few time allocation tricks that I've honed while working at my jobs and while managing software projects.view less
