Jeff Sheldon is a designer turned entrepreneur. He started Ugmonk, a Pennsylvania-based direct-to-consumer brand, in 2008 as a seller of graphic-inspired t-shirts. His desktop organizers, which he added in 2020, are seemingly unrelated until realizing he designed both — the t-shirt graphics and the desk tools.Jeff first appeared on the podcast in 2020. He had just moved t-shirt fulfillment in-house and launched a Kickstarter campaign for his first desktop tool.In this episode, he addresses phasing out the t-shirts, expanding the (successful) desktop line, and the dilemma of selling on Amazon.

Superpowers School Podcast - Productivity Future Of Work, Motivation, Entrepreneurs, Agile, Creative
In this episode, I delve into the concept of overcoming overwhelm and mastering productivity. Mark Struczewski (The Mister Productivity Podcast Host), a seasoned productivity coach, shares his insights and practical tips for leading a more productive and less overwhelmed life.Mark's path to becoming a productivity coach began in his structured childhood home. With parents instilling discipline and structure, he was taught the importance of completing chores and homework before engaging in leisure activities like watching his favourite TV show, MASH. This upbringing laid the foundation for his natural inclination towards productivity.Thanks for reading Superpowers School! Subscribe to support my work.The Battle Against OverwhelmMark believes overwhelm is a self-created problem exacerbated by gadgets and distractions. He reminisces about a simpler time before the advent of smartphones and the internet, highlighting how these technologies, while beneficial, have contributed significantly to our current state of constant overwhelm.Practical Tips for Overcoming Distractions* Exercise Self-Control with Gadgets: Challenge yourself to watch an entire TV program without reaching for your phone. This exercise helps you become more aware of your dependence on devices.* Make Conscious Choices: Decide to take control over your devices instead of letting them control you. This could mean turning off your phone or utilizing focus modes to limit distractions.* Notification Cleanse: Go through your apps and turn off unnecessary notifications. Customize your notification settings to serve you better, not distract you.* Disable Vibration Mode: This prevents the constant checking of your phone every time you feel a buzz, which often leads to unnecessary distractions.* Physical Separation from Devices: If your phone is a major distraction, keep it out of sight when focusing on a task.* Use of Analog Productivity Tools: Mark recommends using a simple pad of paper for jotting down tasks and interruptions, helping to maintain focus on the current task.Multitasking and Work OverwhelmMark emphasizes the fallacy of multitasking, suggesting that it's more effective to focus on one task at a time. To manage work overwhelm, he advises against jumping between tasks. Instead, he suggests bringing a task to a sensible stopping point before shifting focus.Embracing the Journey of Learning and GrowthMark underscores the importance of loving what you do. He believes happiness and productivity go hand in hand. As for staying relevant and informed, he advocates for reading as a daily non-negotiable activity. Final Thoughts and ResourcesTo combat overwhelm and boost productivity, Mark recommends resources like "Tiny Habits" by B.J. Fogg and the UGMONK analog productivity system. He also highlights ReadWise, a service that revisits Kindle highlights.In conclusion, Mark's story and advice offer a practical roadmap to reclaiming control over our lives from the clutches of overwhelm and distraction. By embracing discipline, making conscious choices, and focusing on what truly brings joy, we can navigate the complexities of the modern world more effectively and productively.Chapters:[00:00:00] Introduction: The Shrinking Attention Span [00:00:31] The Age of Infobesity and Overwhelm [00:01:07] Introducing the Guest: Mark Struczewski [00:01:45] The Importance of Human Skills in an Automated World [00:02:02] Understanding the Origins of Our Names [00:03:31] The Superpower of Overcoming Overwhelm [00:04:00] Mark's Journey into Productivity [00:04:31] The Impact of Structure and Discipline [00:06:49] The Influence of Technology on Overwhelm [00:08:56] The Challenge of Watching TV without Distractions [00:10:21] The Problem of Multitasking and Overwhelm at Work [00:10:32] Strategies to Overcome Overwhelm [00:21:01] The Role of Research in Understanding Overwhelm [00:22:51] Introduction to Cal Newport and His Work [00:23:08] Choosing to Opt-Out of Social Media Overwhelm [00:23:25] The Dangers of Endless Scroll Social Media [00:23:44] The Future of Technology and Its Impact on Our Lives [00:24:17] The Joy of Learning and the Problem with Shortcuts [00:24:34] The Love for Physical Books and the Shift to Digital Reading [00:25:21] The Role of Audible Books in Learning [00:27:25] The Importance of Reading and Continuous Learning [00:28:16] The Importance of Reading in Becoming a Good Conversationalist [00:28:51] The Power of Deep Work [00:30:16] The Joy of Being a Solopreneur [00:30:28] Advice for Those Starting Their Career [00:30:37] The Role of Happiness in Productivity [00:32:20] The Joy of Podcasting [00:38:09] The Role of Social Media in Productivity [00:40:08] The Love for Football and Its Impact on Productivity [00:42:59] Conclusion and Final Thoughts Mark Struczewski (The Mister Productivity Podcast Host)Hey!

The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast
#639 Having your audience along for the ride as you create digital products to serve them is an incredible tool that increases engagement and connection. But is it wise to use this same strategy for physical products? With knockoffs being a massive concern, is it safe to use open platforms like Kickstarter to fund and launch your best ideas? Those are some of the questions I explore with my returning guest, Jeff Sheldon. He is the founder of Ugmonk, a design studio focused on impeccably crafted home, office, and clothing products. This chat gives us an inside look at what it takes to turn your vision into something tangible and successfully compete in the premium market. Jeff and I discuss the realities of manufacturing and distribution, share advice for finding a niche, and debate the pros and cons of selling digital and physical products. With additional tips for working from home and using ads to find new customers, there's something here for any entrepreneur!

Jeff Sheldon doesn't buy into common tropes about what it takes to create a successful business, including the idea that more is better. His 14 year venture, Ugmonk has taught him that staying true to your purpose is far more important than growth for the sake of growth itself. Jeff's passion for simplicity and focus on the customer experience shows up in his products and also helps him keep Ugmonk free from the entrepreneurial trap of staying ahead of the competition. Less is enough, and more isn't better. This simple phrase is something Jeff Sheldon has lived by and has used to keep his business and purpose connected to his roots. His journey and creation of his company, Ugmonk, started with something other than a business plan or the desire to become an entrepreneur. However, fourteen years later, his designs and focus on bringing form and functionality to the marketplace have made him an ongoing success. Making every product by hand and taking the road less traveled approach to business, Jeff explains why sticking to the core of your business vision and mission is the ticket to true success. Ugmonk's philosophy results from Jeff's passion for high-quality products, customer service, and sustainability, with some inspiration from a Mexican fable on how to live a full and busy life while staying true to oneself. Jeff joins us in The Entrepreneur's Studio and shares the keys to his business sensation, the future of Ugmonk, and how he connected his products in a world of obsolescence.

Episode #053 features Mike Sheldon, CTO of RedRover. Mike has made some unconventional moves, starting full-time work before graduating college, missing graduation to get married, and choosing to support an older product line instead of the hot, new greenfield project. It has all worked out for him though, still happily married, still working with friends he met at that first job, and heading up engineering at a new company that leverages his years of domain experience. Also covered: a most unusual bachelor party invitation, and the best cheesesteak in Philly (a moving target).

Paul talks to Jeff, founder of Ugmonk and self-described “entrepreneur by accident” about what it's like to start a business when you're not all that crazy about, well, business. For Jeff, that means writing his own rules.
Jeff Sheldon is the founder of Ugmonk, a company I have an enormous amount of admiration for. It's a thoughtful, purposeful, highly effective business that creates and curates beautifully designed products. Jeff has run and grown the business slowly and sustainably (without funding), building an incredibly engaged customer base. This strong customer affinity allows him to launch products through crowdfunding campaigns without a massive marketing budget.We talk through how he built Ugmonk, how he thinks about curation and design, and we go deep on his most recent Kickstarter campaign - a ~half million dollar raise for Analog.

We sat down with Jeff Sheldon, the founder and designer of Ugmonk, to chat about how he stays organized while running his lifestyle brand from home. With over 10 years of experience working from home, Jeff shared valuable insights about working from home with a family, getting things done, and what the future of working from home may look like.
By 2017, nine years after launching his t-shirt company, Ugmonk, Jeff Sheldon had expanded into posters and workspace products. Gather, Ugmonk's modular desk organizer, had just completed a successful Kickstarter campaign with two shipping containers of custom manufactured organizers en route, to send to customers. "There's no way my parents were going to let two shipping containers show up at their front door. So I used a 3PL. It was a very bad experience. We ran into every problem imaginable.
Jeff Sheldon is the founder and creator of Ugmonk. Jeff is a designer by trade, and an entrepreneur by accident. I been following Jeff’s journey for the better part of Ugmonk’s existence.

The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement
For years I've been following the journey of Jeff Sheldon from Ugmonk. Ugmonk is an online store that sells beautifully designed t-shirts, prints, and work accessories. Jeff started Ugmonk over a decade ago as a side business and it's grown to become a well-recognised brand (you've probably seen stock photos of Jeff's desk around the internet). What I love about Jeff's business is that he likes to keep things small. Rather than producing large runs of each design of a t-shirt, Jeff keeps the business small and manageable so that he can balance his work and personal lives. Jeff often shares behind the scenes of how his products are made and how he does his work. He uses both digital and analogue systems to organise his projects and plan his time. A few years ago, Jeff ran an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign raising over $430,000 for his desk organiser, Gather. And now, he's running a new campaign for his new task management system, Analog (LINK). While I'm not a big user of analogue tools, I really like the idea of writing down your key tasks on a tangible notecard and can't wait to try it out myself.

This week, we answer two listener questions about designing for the tech-unsavvy and providing value as an inexperienced designer. In news, we discuss the latest anniversary set from Ugmonk and a new audio-only feature from Periscope. Lastly, we wrap up with cool things, including a ridiculously thorough typeface and a utility that remembers your window layouts.
Gather is a modular home for your essentials, thoughtfully designed to help you cut through the clutter. I’d hazard a guess that 99% of our readers work at a desk and that most those will probably be as untidy as mine. Designer Jeff Sheldon, founder of Ugmonk, felt there was a need to a more customisable and attractive solution. So he created Gather, a beautifully designed minimal organizer, a place to bring all your essentials together. His Kickstarter campaign was fully funded within 24hours. I wanted to find out how Jeff managed to pull this off and why this product turned into a popular hit. Header over to our website for the full transcript - https://www.madebyfolk.com/listen/gather/

Jeff Sheldon is the designer and founder of Ugmonk. Jeff started Ugmonk as a side project to serve as his creative outlet from his day job as junior graphic designer. Several years in, Jeff reached a tipping point and decided to go all-in and make Ugmonk his full time focus - growing the product line from t-shirts to other new items with a unique sense of style and minimalistic design. 10 years later, Jeff has shipped his products to over 67 countries, has spoken at conferences like 99u, been featured in publications like The Great Discontent, and launched charitable campaigns that have helped to provide over 50,000 meals to kids. Jeff joins us to share his story, what motivated him to launch Ugmonk, what it was like building the company in the early days, how he know when it was time to go all-in, some advice on building e-commerce brands, where the name “ugmonk” comes from, and much more!
In this episode of The Bearded Tog I invite the creator and founder of Ugmonk, Jeff Sheldon onto the podcast to talk about his design and product company that he started with just one t-shirt, and now is his full-time job. I found Jeff Sheldon while I was working at Apple with designer friend Brian Hoff. Brian showed me Jeff's work and t-shirts and I was hooked! Jeff and I also talk about what was the tipping point for him in his business, how his family deals with working, and how his email list and sharing his process has helped further his business!

Jeff Sheldon, founder of Ugmonk, a brand that creates smartly designed apparel, work, and lifestyle products. Jeff’s engaging story includes the start of Ugmonk, where he experimented with an idea to bring to life, high-quality, unique items with a modern aesthetic. By designing just a few t-shirts, to see if they’d sell — a couple of years later, he’s working on this experiment full time now, running a well-loved company and brand for nine years. We talk through Jeff’s story from a designer to a business owner, with highlights like adding a social good element to his business; why Jeff is so transparent with his followers; starting a family and balancing work-life; and the things that hold him back. Jeff appears to be an average guy who is experimenting, learning, and enjoying his story. Of course he is clearly talented — creating wonderful products. But he’s also proof that we can follow a dream, do what we love, and also goes to show us, nice guys actually do win.

This week we talk with Jeff Sheldon from Ugmonk. It all started with a simple idea – design fresh high-quality unique items. Just one month after Jeff had graduated college, married his high-school sweetheart, moved to Burlington, VT, and started a full-time design job, he found myself brainstorming about launching his own brand centered around a love for typography and minimal design: Ugmonk. What started as an outlet for my passion and entrepreneurial experiment quickly grew into much more than just selling a few shirts. Listen and find out how Jeff went from full-time agency employee to full-time Shopify store owner and clothing designer. Check out Ugmonk and pick up some finery for yourself.
