Another issue is books written by journalists blowing up ideas they find interesting from research and the pulling things out of their ass. Look at emotional intelligence (EQ) as an example. One of the early books on the subject written by

The best I have been able to tell is that productivity is like lifting weights, where you have to be always changing up your routine to "shock" the muscles into growth once you hit your plateau. Productivity is a series of brain h

Seems like we see this everywhere. Bob is highly productive and comes up with a "system" which he uses to be productive. Bob probably would have been productive with any other system, he's just a productive guy. Joe reads Bob

If you're actually employing 5 people then $100 is nothing for service which is central to your work. If it's 5 people not making money, then maybe you don't need a proprietary service.

As someone who never has money, I can confirm that people have low expectations of me. However, this is still tricky for me because even if I have like 20 bucks, my friends in developing nations still think I'm loaded.

My app for a summary of things I have done is my time tracker. The time horizon for my to-do list is a week. Further out than a week is probably a scheduled item which is a different thing than a to-do. Everything else is an idea among my n

Sure, "job" covers too much area to be useful in this case. "Bob did a good job cleaning the car" is much different than "Bob quit is job today." I have a business which provides services. That service isn&#x27

Wait, you're calling my comment "strange" and then you come back with something like "comedian is a job?" Maybe you misunderstood me because you don't know what a comedian is. It's not a job. You tell joke

I'm clueless on this subject, so bear with me. Do you have an opinion on Binance offering 125/1 leverage? If you were to look at where the profits come from for these companies, might we make a case that these companies are buildi

Joe Rogan isn't a great person to take any lessons from. At heart he's a comedian, which must be the most unconventional path you can take to anywhere in the US. Comedians live on the road telling jokes. I wonder how much he reall

If you want an AWS instance, it's not much more complicated than pick your instance and go. Of course, we're talking about the AWS console here, which is not so easy if you aren't used to it. If you know your way around, then

Maybe because back in the day you needed big money for a big audience. Local channels on TV had worse ads than national channels. The best ads were on the most expensive airtime and became part of the Superbowl experience. On FB, anyone can

Anything beyond straight CLI commands which I can get from a man page is "power user" territory. You're working with a limited market by going after these people. As I get older, I want less, not more. If I do decide for more

I'm experimenting with using AWS Workspaces. Given that I can do so much of my work using other AWS tools (and other cloud services) I don't need much power. I haven't tried this yet, but it appears that I could make a bundle
