Letting Myself Quit
I did something really scary and dangerous today. I let myself quit. It’s the second day of my Month-of-Pickup, an intensive course correction aimed towards making myself extraverted and social again. Yesterday was the first day. My friend and I set a goal of doing eight approaches each. We did it just as the mall…

Being a Mutant
It didn’t occur to me until about a week ago that I am a mutant. When genes duplicate, the overwhelming majority of them are copied with perfect fidelity, with only the occasional rogue gene mutating into something unexpected. Most of these mutations, called neutral mutations, have no real effect. Once in a while, though, a…

I Wrote a New RV Book! My Old Books are on Sale!
I had a discussion about book pricing recently with one of my favorite bloggers, Sebastian Marshall. His new book, Ikigai, is being sold for $7.77. He doesn’t really care how much money he makes off it (his portion goes to charity, anyway), but he didn’t want to lower the price because he thinks that it…

How to Get a Month’s Worth of Work Done in One Week
*** The average employee does somewhere between 1.5 to 5 hours af actual work per day, depending on whose survey you trust. Let’s say people do three hours of actual focused work.

Goodbye, 2011
And somehow we’re done with 2011 already. Last year I made one goal (getting this site to the top 50k in Alexa), and I didn’t make any effort whatsoever to reach it, so at this point I’m giving up on yearly goals. But I will say this– if SETT isn’t rocking and rolling by this…

SETT: What I’ve Been Working on for the Past Year
For the last year or so I’ve been working on something big, which I’ve been stubbornly keeping a secret. I know that this has been annoying to readers, but I felt that skirting around the issue was slightly better than avoiding it altogether. Of course, it’s also been hard for me to keep it a…

Get a Free TaskSmash Account Today
Short version: TaskSmash no longer requires an invitation code to use. Just go to www.tasksmash.com and put in a user name and password. Long version: Todd and I used to send each other an email every day with a list of two or three tasks that we absolutely had to get done that day. Then,…

Life Nomadic Kindle is $2.99
The other day, Karol Gajda sent me an email saying that I ought to sell Life Nomadic for $2.99, and that if I did, the volume would make up for the lower sale price. Worth a try, right? So, for a while at least, the Kindle version of Life Nomadic is $2.99 on Amazon. If…
