A life perspective: my life = my calendar + deviations from the schedule. Creating principles for deviating could be a useful exercise. Reminder to self: Sitting down and reading a book is never a waste of time.

I am sitting at a large, wooden table. My laptop rests on the surface of this table. The following items surround my laptop: A broken smoke detector, a half-filled bottle of Sriracha, 8 plastic storage cups of unopened barbeque sauce, an empty Corona, a mug with silverware resting inside, half an iPhone charger, a familyContinue reading “memory lane”

At some point after I quit my job, I was chatting with my grandpa and he shared the rule of the monkey with me: do not let go of one branch until you are holding on to the next. He said it in the context of careers, but it applies to life generally. In retrospectContinue reading “anchor project”

My sister just told me that she mentioned Brazil Nuts to her friend and he bought some from Amazon on the spot. This exact scenario occurred with some of my friends as well. The Brazil Nut movement is real! The only question is whether Manly Nuts will capture part of the market. Time to findContinue reading “going nuts”
