I’ve been contributing to PCMag since 2011 in a variety of ways. My column, Get Organized, has been running on PCMag since 2012. It gives advice on how to manage all the devices, apps, digital photos, email, and other technology that can make you feel like you’re going to have a panic attack.
My latest book is The Everything Guide to Remote Work, which goes into great detail about a subject that I’ve been covering as a writer and participating in personally since well before the COVID-19 pandemic.
I write about work culture, personal productivity, and software, including project management software, collaboration apps, productivity apps, and language-learning software.
Previously, I worked for the Association for Computing Machinery, The San Francisco Examiner newspaper, Game Developer magazine, and (I kid you not) The Journal of Chemical Physics. I was once profiled in an article in Vogue India alongside Marie Kondo. I’m currently pursuing a few unannounced long-form projects.

I put off buying new hardware until I’ve squeezed every last bit of usage out of the devices I already own. I use both macOS and Windows, iPhone and Android.
My life is organized by Todoist and my notes live in Joplin. Where would I be without Dashlane as my password manager? Probably locked out of all my many online accounts—I have more than 1,000 of them.
When I give out my contact information, it’s an excruciatingly long list of phone numbers, messaging apps, and email addresses because it’s important to stay flexible but also mysterious.
