This Monday I posted a challenge to myself: to sell 126 MuseCubes before the holidays. Well, I didn’t get close to that number (I didn’t quite expect to, but the number 126 was special — see below — to me so I used it as my symbolic goal).
I did sell 41 sets of MuseCubes, though! [...]

My friend Annie came over to cowork with me this morning. We usually meet for 3 hours, each working separately on important projects. Nothing like a fellow warm body to get these two solo entrepreneurs focused!

Exactly a year ago, I launched the newly created MuseCubes. How fun, a year later, to read through all the buzz on the internet about the MuseCubes. Here are some of favorite MuseCubes mentions of 2009:

Awwwww! I’ve always known that MuseCubes make great gifts. But it’s nice to hear it directly from the recipients. Here’s how composer and Taiko drummer Kathryn Cabunoc, describes how the MuseCubes helped her break through stuckness:
…writing solos is so hard. That’s one of those things that have never come easy for me. I sit down [...]

Welcome to the MuseCubesTM.
Research shows that people think effectively when they move their bodies.
Yet when we’re stuck, many of us hunch over and sit still.
So I designed this set of dice to get us moving again.
Imagine: people all over the world wiggling and howling to new perspectives and greater productivity.
Makes me smile.
aMusingly yours,

Who do you know who’d love a set of MuseCubes?
