I found my new Gooroo at Effing the Dog!
Hi all!
At the beginning of the year, Mike Vardy created a new blog called “Effing the Dog,”
which, in his own words:
…I’m all about taking personal productivity and getting things done to a whole different and exciting level. I’ve discovered through years of painful process and heartache - which has not left me scarred in any way whatsoever - that you can accomplish everything you need to and be happy without doing much at all.
It’s what I like to call Effing The Dog™.
He describes himself as a “gooroo.” “Gifted Outstanding Orator who is Results-Oriented in an extraOrdinarily new way.” Gooroo. I love this acronym.
What have I learned from my new gooroo?
- An Ideal Inbox is a Full Inbox, because more is better and we want to be as popular as we wanted to be in high school
- Always have an Excuse, because you never know when you’ll need a good one (he lists 13)
- Write a Limerick a Week, because they have hidden meaning
- Meditate (aka Sleep) as much as possible, because sleep is good!
- Don’t Write in a Journal, because it’s a lost art and should remain lost!
Mike Vardy is my new hero in the world. I shall strive to Eff the Dog in little ways every day until I fully grok his learning.
Please join me in worshiping at the feet of this eventual productivity expert as he guides us to new levels of getting things done without doing much at all!

Glad to see you’re spreading the word, Fitz.
I’ll keep my lazy eye on you.
Your GOOROO,
