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,…

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.

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…

Week 71 Wanderings (3-26-24): Asking for help, Weaknesses as strengths, Having a good time, Evaluating Friendships
Pick Up the Phone “I’ve never found anybody that didn’t wanna help me if I asked them for help” 2 minutes of Failure by the Jobs Seems like we just have to ask for the help we need. If nobody knows our problem, even if they’ve got the solution it ain’t gonna happen. Reflection of…
