A team of (two) creatives and professionals (one creative and one professional, to be precise) who value working less and achieving more. We believe your time is your most precious resource, so we’re going to help you keep more of it for yourself.
From publishing to business flipping, I’ve dipped my toes in many industries–social media, customer service, editing, writing, content creation, site building, bike detailing at the age of 7 (throw in an extra quarter and I’d buff the spokes)–but there’s been one constant throughout: I’ve done it all as my own boss.
To be self-employed means wearing a ton of hats. And I have a really big head–it’s actually kind of difficult to buy hats.
Anyway, my job style required me to Get Good, and fast. I became something of a productivity expert out of pure necessity.
Now I’m here to share my decade plus of experience with you in planning, organization, and time management–I also love sharing the latest, weirdest, and most creative productivity hacks.
So climb aboard if you’re ready to work less, happier, and unequivocally NOT HARDER.
My story is pretty similar to the one above. Started my business journey doing custom paint jobs on X-box controllers and repackaging Magic The Gathering cards to sell on eBay as a tween.
Today, I’m a grown up who owns several companies. I also work as an app developer, sometimes creating my own apps–like Pause For, a charitable productivity solution. RIP, Pause For, you were the realest.
Right now, I own and run blogs with my bestie, including Not Harder. She does the writing, and I do the everything else.
And yeah, I’m Sam.
Sam and Gemini started their first business together in 2012: a venture known as Sad Panda. RIP, Sad Panda, you were the realest.
