Hey there, I’m Brian. I’ve been doing personal development, organizational change, training and development, and productivity improvement work since 2006. The About page is pretty brief, so I want to share a little more of the story on who I am, and where Productivity Gladiator came from.

I’ve been pushing myself to try a new habit. Anytime I need to type one sentence or more, I talk to my computer or device instead of typing. It is so hard to break this habit after so many years of typing!
“You mean you’re talking to your devices? All the time?”
Yep! I talk to my phone, even out in public. I talk to my computer at home. I talk to my computer at work. I do it as much as possible. So. Freaking. Cool! It must be hilarious to be around me while I am working. I’m just taaaaaalking away with no one around.
“Alright, but HOW MUCH faster is it? Why isn’t everyone doing it?”

What if the emails in your inbox were definitely the important ones?
What if you could automatically divert more than half of your interesting but not important emails to another folder?
I’ve implemented 2 email rules in my work email inbox that have done just that.
The good news is, technology and apps are being developed to help you keep social media under control.
Here are some of the apps and tech hacks you can use to help rein it in.
“There just aren’t enough hours in a day!”
Ever find yourself thinking that? Have you spent hours working on something, only to realize “That took me SOO LONG.” I’ve had those same thoughts at my job: “Wow, did I really just spend 40 minutes crafting the language in that email?” or “I just spent hours on this report that no one is going to read!”
What if we could actually assign a dollar value to that time?
