Reading all these comments I feel sorry for 37S. I guess this is the downside of having a successful blog - people get to have an opinion about you. 37S gets to sell Sortfolio in whatever fashion and to whomever they want. Oh man... you guy

I spent a few days in Pakistan last week, specifically in Karachi. I found the people to be very polite, the city vibrant and modern (much more so than I expected), and in spite of their enormous challenges, there are pockets of growth and

That's a really good question. I thought about this and for now its a fair metric. I want to reach 8 working hours a day. Once I hit that goal consistently, I'll have to look for a better metric.
