Five Things I Learned On My Return to Productivity
A few months ago I had a troubling thought: maybe I’ve forgotten how to be productive. I am not a naturally productive person. I skated by in school, putting homework off until the last minute, if I did it at all. After I left school I was reasonably productive with my gambling thing, but it…

Recent Thoughts on Minimalism
I’m always thinking about minimalism. A lot of why I think about it is because I have both very minimalistic tendencies as well as some on the opposite side of the spectrum. That sits well with me, because I consider it cause for alarm when one subscribes entirely to the dogma of any group. It’s…

How to Listen to Feedback
It’s been an interesting month so far. Two relevant things happened: first, I got some critical feedback that I needed to hear but sort of stung, and second, CruiseSheet has been doing extremely well.

Getting Mad at Myself on Purpose and Hating TV
I was encouraged to watch the TV series True Crime, which I was told was excellent. I watched the first couple episodes and found all sorts of things I didn’t like about it, which made it easy for me to stop watching the show and write it off. This happens to me for most TV…

What Won’t You Have?
Ask anyone what their top priority is, and I bet you get at least three. And if you were to observe their actions, maybe you’d notice that the top priority they’re acting on has nothing to do with any of the three they listed. We all want a lot, and that’s because it’s easy to…

Living in a World Not Built For You
I say this not to complain or even to suggest that it should be otherwise, but it occurs to me regularly that I live in a world that was not only not designed for me, but may have been designed for the opposite of me. I’m in Queenstown, New Zealand right now with a couple…
