I suffer from the same affliction. Daydreaming forward often reveals additional functionalities and synergies and implications, so it even "feels" like progress, but I've learned the hard way that skipping to the last page of

Great hack. I need to try this. I used to use the self audit approach where I'd critically review my own work as a boss on a weekly sit down. What's funny is it allows you to be empathetic to yourself. Kind of counter intuitive

Respectfully, different things work for different people. Motivation is fleeting and can be easily derailed, but self discipline is a monster that doesn't quit. Philosophically, self discipline is self love. What is misaligned that cau

It's a good concept but needs fleshing out I think. I understand the thrust of the idea but it could also be seen as just playing word games. What specifically is the difference between a need and a problem? What methodology might one

I do have a family, and I find that very fulfilling. I do bemoan the time I have to spend working for others as time I'll not get back. Honestly having my first son really changed the math for me. I went from deriving joy from a job we

That is the short of it. If you have a polished turd and shine a spotlight on it you will "fail faster" than if you you creep around in the dark. It is still better to fail fast if that is where it will end up anyway. Put another

This may be a bit elementary for this crowd but regarding the balance of data cost vs capturing the most significant features. We use a simple decision tree as a significance cluster and optimize data munging around these clusters. On some

"All" the conventional wisdom would include a solid content marketing strategy. Respectfully, I feel like you buried the lead on this one. Please allow me to highlight the conventional wisdom you ARE following. 1)Nothing buries a

You can slice it however thinly you like but you're glossing over general best practices for consent or inbound marketing and renaming the concept. If you're goal is to own the term then by all means proceed. If you feel this is o

Well said, I'd love to make an impact on the planet but as a father my first drive is to set the best example possible for my son. That does include self determination and being responsible for your own outcomes, that does not include

Rothbard argues strongly that pollution is a property rights issue and an ancap/libertarian solution is fully compatible with all types of tort or financial solutions. Not to say a "carbon tax scheme" could be thought of as l

Ray Dalio runs his entire business based on best idea wins. He even has custom software to facilitate it. That's not to say that everyone runs the company. Tay runs the company but he is armed with the best his team has to offer.

Off topic but your website needs serious work. Some type of mobile friendly format and some type of lightbox for your images. I promote and curate indie game projects and couldn't get past the front page of your site.

Not always. For a true procrastinator you end up doing stuff you both don't want to do and don't need to do. Think, "least positive possible" Pure self sabotage. Wait but why has an incredible read on the subject. https

plenty of solo founders with no family, no peer group, no mastermind group, and no support system? Could you name one for me please?

Your product is unremarkable, in the strictest sense of the word. That's your issue. What might one say about it that would be provocative or interesting to one's fans and subscribers? You can tackle this issue with a re-skin. The

The myth of the solo founder. I would venture that every founder has a support system that tangibly enables a business venture, whether it be family or peers or mentors.

When you say "creating a high throughput brain machine interface" are you referring to general AI? That's the one silver bullet that solves all other problems.

You'd land slightly back because you'd lose contact with your impeller. I also think most everyone understands how a sling and rock work. Not sure I agree withyour premise. Could you shove a camera in people's face and get du
