Wally the Wonderdog gets me outside almost every afternoon, and yes, it's possible I spend a few hours every week fly fishing.

It's why I live at the base of 14,162' Mount Shasta -- there's always at least one great reason to leave the house.

Thanks, Ryan.

I love to take walks with my wife and kids. We go on one almost every day, usually mid morning or right before lunch. I highly recommend them, even when you’re under deadline.

One “secret” I’ve discovered for goosing creativity is to just let loose and have fun. Be child-like. Wrestle with your kids, dangle on the monkey bars at the park, jump on picnic tables, balance on parking blocks at the grocery store, whatever.

Just forget what all the adults think and be a kid… at least for a little while. :-)

See, I’m tooling along at about twice your productivity.

I had no idea I was so far above average…

Tom – Great advice! I like writing one word an hour. By the end of the day I have a sentence! Now that is progress.

Just kidding :)

I can relate to locking myself in a room.
