Ugmonk Analog Starter Kit Review: Go Analog to Be Productive

Many years ago, I asked my most accomplished, successful friend what his secret to success was. His answer was simple, but it also changed my life. He said, “I make a list of all the stuff I need to do, then I do it.” He happened to use 3x5 index cards for his lists, so I copied the idea.Over time, I took his simple system and worked it into my life, and decades on, I still start most days by pulling out an index card and working on whatever it says I need to do.

Georgia-Pacific Ruling Reinvigorates Texas Two-Step

Just as the Texas Two-Step looked to be on the ropes, a federal appeals court showed the controversial tactic still has legs.  The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this week signaled strong approval for Georgia-Pacific’s strategy of settling mass asbestos claims through the chapter 11 case of its affiliate Bestwall, the first of the current breed of Texas Two-Step bankruptcies. Bestwall filed for chapter 11 in 2017 in North Carolina and has since been locked in a standoff with asbestos-injury claimants who are determined...
