2 - From Rambull’s post for CJ Casselli (below):

This past year has been the busiest of my life (by far). It's forced me to be hyper-productive with my time, and I've had to adopt various systems to get everything done. I ended up documenting my workflow in what I'm calling a Personal Productivity Playbook, and it distills pretty much everything on the topic down to what actually works (there is a lot of BS out there). It’s built from years of personal experiments, and it’s the only way I know how to balance the CEO role + faith, marriage, family, fitness, friends, fun, etc.
