I've been doing daily videos. These have been a lot of fun and I don't put a lot of pressure on myself with them. It's been a great way to think about ideas more and more.I'm also in the midst of a productivity detox. This is when I stop doing things that I would normally do in order to reethink my planning and collecting of tasks.Also there is no PITPodcast due to Easter.

We are kicking off a new format for the PITReflections. I have decided that I will be enlisting the help of a productivity coach. This year, quickly becoming the "year of guidance", I will be working to make myself and Productivity in Tech better in 2017.Lee and I will be chatting three days a week and two of the three will be recorded while a middle of the week update will be available on our blog!Be sure to check out Lee's coaching page on Coach.meLee StetsonCoach.meThe Advantages of having a coach with Lee Tratnyeck

Yesterday I was encouraged while planning my next moves on a project at work. I reached out to a friend in the field and as I began to explain my potential solution, he let me know that I was working outside of the realm of his job and knowledge.There are plenty of things that we want to see happen in the productivity space, but we can't limit ourselves to being just an productivity planner and a productivity architect. We must ensure there is balance.
