I think this way about playing the piano. I'm primarily a guitarist so the piano is a bit of a challenge for me. I use it as a way to force my memory to think in challenging ways and commit complex content.

I've always said, the coaches I work with fall into three categories... 1. They know so little that they don't know what they don't know. As a result they are way too overconfident and struggle as coaches. 2. They know enough

One of my all-time favorite stories. My dear mother told me this story when I was just a boy. I was enchanted by the idea of this magical stone, too young to consider the clever trick the tramp was playing on the woman. The sense of cooking

Every few years I find myself thinking, "Wow...the latest tech is amazing! We were in the stone ages just a few years ago." I don't expect that to cease in my lifetime.

One thing I know about Teams is it shows me as not active almost 100% of the time. I have to refresh the page in order to get the green "hey look, I'm working!" icon. On one hand, I don't care...on the other, it's a

Different, but sort of related... Our daughter recently developed EILO. It sounds silly and totally illogical, but more than once, I've found myself wondering if there is anything we could have done to have helped her avoid it. So yes,

Fantastic! I check this periodically, hoping for anything new from Mr. Larson. Love that he took the time to honor Ms. Goodall one more time. What a class act.

I'm sort of embarrassed to ask this, but what is the point of this (and I'm genuinely asking)? I get that it can scan a physical space and then I can see a digital reproduction of that space on VR goggles...but then what? Do I jus

This is nice. Until I took an actual semester of it in college, linear algebra was a total mystery to me. Great job. For those unfamiliar with vectors, it might be helpful to briefly explain how the two vectors (their magnitude and directio

Yes, viewing consistency as "every day I will improve" is folly. But, can you say more about treading the "path of least resistance"? I've always felt there is tremendous value in leaning into friction because that

I agree completely about the value of consistency (#25) but I struggle to reconcile it with your take on discipline (#1). For me, consistency demands discipline and both are important to longterm growth and development.

Yes, this is all goal dependent. I can agree with that. The trouble with the "learn just this one thing" approach is that one is forced to learn said thing at the most basic level because anything beyond that requires all sorts of

I never considered the type of effort you're referring to as wasted. It reminds me a bit of looking up coding solutions on StackOverflow back in the day. Yes, it was a slog and consumed valuable time. However, I always felt that I pick

I once saw a publication by a coffee expert (sorry, don't have the link) who said the way to go with Starbucks is to order the lightest roast as it's always the closest to a proper, less-burnt coffee. I've taken that approach

by RyanOD 1y ago
It has always seemed to me that Starbucks has one thing going for it - consistency. I used to go into smaller coffee shops and it was a 50/50 gamble that I was going to get terrible coffee (though more recently, I've had better lu

In Seattle, I've mostly seen approaches such as this as a modification. Though I see your point in a new construction situation.

Yes, I've seen some of this. While it certainly helps, it seems like a waste of limited resources. Why can't some people just follow such a simple rule?

Yes, it is illegal in Washington state and yet, people do it. Specifically, drivers who are "just running in" to grab a coffee or a pizza or whatever. What they don't understand is even a limited amount of time blocking the v

Where I live, many people park at intersections right up to the curb making it almost impossible to see oncoming traffic from the right or left. Really scary when you have a 16-year old driver you're trying to keep safe. There is a ver

Oddly, I sort of agree. Many times I've put something off for days, but then once I finally get myself over the hump and get working on it, I actually get focused and sort of enjoy the challenge. It's weird, but it's the not

One thing not mentioned here is that most of these teachers have over 100 other students they are responsible for educating. So saying, "The teacher should just..." ignores the bigger impact of mobile phones and the management the
