Welcome
And hello. pantsonfaster is Richard Thomas’ website exploring better ways to work and live. If they turn out to interest you, then great. Stick around. If not, hey, no hard feelings. Besides, there are probably other things you could be doing right now.
Originally we planned to make pantsonfaster another “do this and be great” merchant, peddling advice on “12 ways to put your pants on faster” and such. We enjoyed that for a while, but there are lots of people doing that already, some of them better than we could.
It’s About Us
These days we’re more interested in how to get the most out of life. How to make our days more awesome. Life is great already, but our Jobsian worldview means we don’t settle. Instead, reach.
One way we do that is by using pantsonfaster as a outlet for maturing our thinking and figuring things out, sometimes elegantly, sometimes not.
But It’s About You, Too
What are we selling? Nothing. We’re just trying to make sense of things that interest us. And we’re sharing because, who knows, we might come up with something good and we’d love you to get something out of it too.
Pants?
Oh yeah. The pants thing. Credit for the ‘pants on faster’ notion goes to Merlin Mann. We’ve never met Merlin, but check him out. He seems like a swell guy.
Despite being British, we’re agnostic about the exact nature of pants. So whether to you pants are underwear (novelty or otherwise) or a full-length outergarment, you’re very welcome here.
And if we do come up with a way of putting pants on faster, you’ll be the first to know. There may even be video.
