Your Productivity Guide

I’ve been excited about technology since I first got my hands on a computer back in 1980. Since then, I’ve written and published numerous books and video courses from The MacSparky Blog and The MacSparky Labs. I also host several popular technology podcasts, including The Mac Power Users, The Automators, and Focused.

I Have a Mission…

In a world where technology is increasingly conspiring to steal our focus and attention, my goal is to teach you how to be more productive (not less!) with technology.

Finding a method for being more productive about the things most important to me has been a 40 year journey. I’m so excited to share this course with the world.
