WW #91 Who Are You? (11-7-24)

Some Illumination “Your idols give you insight to your values”Unknown I first heard this a few years ago and it’s stuck with me ever since. We get celebrity idols shoved down our throats all the time – NFL and NBA and musicians and Grammy and Oscar winners… It wasn’t until I really started thinking about…

Week 82 Wandering (6-11-24) – Getting more better things done, Choosing directions is tough, Being bad at stuff, A common regret

Surprisingly useful for getting things finished ‘Allow yourself only 3 projects’ or 3 books or 3 tasks to be worked at a time. Don’t start the next until it’s finished. My brain is like a dog – It gets excited over everything and has the attention span of, well, a dog. I love starting projects,…

Week 80 Wandering – 5-29-24 – No substitute for time, Get good fast, Being less dumb, Isolate yo’self

You can’t time travel “The quality of your craft directly correlates to how much time you spend on it” Anytime I start a new hobby I realize this. I’m competitive and want to be the best at everything. But each time I pick up a new hobby – running, biking, jiu jitsu I am humbled…

Week 79 Wanderings (5-29-2024) – A new icebreaker, Entrepreneurial podcast, Grateful for being happy, Increase your chances of luck, A goodie song

A new icebreaker I learned “What’s your hottest take on food” Asking “what do you do for a living” is a dumbass question. First off, it’s a boring conversation starter. Secondly, rarely do people LOVE what they do. And THIRDLY, it immediately puts people in a box that they may not deserve to be in.…

Week 78 Wanderings (5-21-24) – Determining the effectiveness of our actions, 10000 Year long term thinking, Is it real or temporary pain, A book on the ‘reason to live’, Such a good song

Determining the effectiveness of our actions “If I did this action 100 times would it get me to where I want to be?”Source: Maybe Sahil Bloom This notion helps me frame the effectiveness of my actions. It helps to determine if what I’m doing is actually helping or just getting lost in random rabbit holes.…

Week 75 Wandering – (5-1-2024) – A better life requires some self belief, Alan Watts the wizard, Business advice from a stranger, An old timey banger

Little bit of faith and some hard work “When challenges are thrown your way and you are wondering how on Earth it will all come together, how you will find peace about a particular relationship, when the contacts you need will arrive, or how you will find the money to make something happen, just remember…

Week 73 Wanderings (4-9-24) – Enjoyment is sometimes a choice, Faith in the future by Jobs, Long term planning, Overcoming fear

Enjoyment is sometimes a choice “Can you have an experience you don’t experience? The finest plate at a Michelin star restaurant might as well be a bowl of noodles if your mind is elsewhere” Reminiscent of last week’s Week 72 Wanderings PS – Reading Oliver Burkeman’s 4000 Weeks – Time Management for Mortals and will…

Week 72 Wanderings – How to be less of an asshole, Good friends are assholes, Podcast on the Customized Life, Intentional Relationships

How to be less of an asshole “Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments”Neil Strauss I’ve found that it’s harder to course correct after you piss someone off, but if you can set expectations ahead of time then people are prepared for your lunacy. People like knowing what they can expect. We don’t like being caught off…
