About Michael Orlando

This page describes the practical systems I rely on to manage life, work, information, and execution.

I tend to build structure around recurring parts of life so I do not have to solve the same organizational problems from scratch over and over again. That includes how I handle time, tasks, communication, records, learning, and personal upkeep.

I am interested not just in getting things done, but in creating ways of operating that are durable, legible, and sustainable over time.

Areas this includes

  • Calendar
  • Tasks
  • Self quantification
  • Email
  • Contracting and consulting
  • Contacts and HubSpot
  • Google Drive organization
  • Finance tracking
  • Meditation
  • Self wiki / second brain
