Justin’s bio
It’s typical to miss or forget important things because most of us aren’t deliberate about capturing them. We come up short when we have a valuable thought we want to remember, receive an important business card we want to save, or take important notes we know we should archive for later.

Is your voicemail a graveyard of important messages? You’re not alone. With the popularity and convenience of text and email, voicemail is quickly becoming a thing of the past. And yet, so many of us don’t know how to turn it off. Even though we don’t check it regularly – if at all – we …
Do you control your inbox, or does your inbox control you? Too many of us are slaves to the incoming tasks, requests, and information flooding our email. The time we spent each day simply reading and re-reading email and then deciding what to do about each one is valuable time wasted. In this week’s episode, …
Dear Justin, My church says they need the members to help with various responsibilities, so I volunteer often. But when I do, I’m told to focus on my family. Or people tell me they’re worried I’ll get burned out. They’ve also suggested my excitement is “a little over the top.” Other times, when I offer …
