Well hello!I can’t believe it is already Christmas. It feels like just yesterday I was sitting in my living room talking about how I couldn’t wait for Christmas music to start playing on the radio. The last couple months have flown by (isn’t that always the case when you are crazy busy?). So much has […]
Do you have a never-ending to do list? Are you constantly busy and feel like there is always more that you just need to do? For most of us working in technology, there is always more to do. We could always work harder and get our work done faster. We could take on extra projects […]

Update: Based on the amazing response to this post and my passion for building the perfect notebook, we launched a Kickstarter on November 20, 2014 to fund our creation of the perfect notebook. The Spark Notebook was fully funded just 14 hours after launch, and we have just kept going to see how far we can […]
Getting promoted is awesome. When you work hard and that work gets not only recognized, but also rewarded? Yeah, that is a pretty great feeling. Getting promoted is a common goal among many Popforms readers and Pop Star users. And it makes sense, right? The people who read our blog posts and newsletter, who take our sparks, and […]
At Popforms, my startup, we have been working to make tools to help superstars shine at work. Through research and conversations with leadership experts, psychologists, consultants, coaches, and most of all our users, we’ve tinkered with products and ideas for how to help amazing people to be even more amazing at work. And we discovered, […]
