Jim Stone earned his bachelors in Mathematics and Computer Science, and his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Washington. Over the last 7 years Jim has developed many software tools for entrepreneurs and creative individuals.
Jim has a passion for puzzling over complex systems in order to discover new ways of understanding what makes them tick. And he feels like a little kid at Disneyland when it turns out these new understandings can be turned into practical tools that allow people to do things faster, easier, and better than before.
Currently, Jim is using the concepts of "fractal awareness" and "reactive flow management" to change the way we do time management, leading to lower stress, and higher productivity.
