I’ve been hyping a 30 day blog challenge over on Bitpost. It starts tomorrow, so my normal daily blogging will be taking place over there. I may cross post here as well, I’m not sure. I used to be obsessed with having all my stuff in one single place, but eventually I gave up. Too… Continue reading For the Month of September

It’s easy to set goals and hard to achieve them. There are too many reasonable, legitimate excuses to fall short. Plus, picking the right goal is hard, and if you learn along the way that it wasn’t right, all the easier to stop pursuing it altogether. I don’t like goals. They assume knowledge and discipline… Continue reading Let Habits Do the Work

A reader emailed me asking how I feel comfortable sharing political views that are widely unpopular. He also asked if I’ve written about this, and I don’t think I have, so here’s my response: I found that being somewhat radical has a high social price, but being REALLY radical doesn’t. For example, if I were… Continue reading On Being Radical

I’m mixing it up again, after a year and a half streak of daily blogging, I’m gonna switch my routine. I won’t be blogging daily for a while, but I’m doing a lot of stuff in a lot of other places! I write articles and guides at crash.co I record a weekly Career Crashers podcast… Continue reading Here’s a Bunch of Stuff I’m Up To

I was just discussing with a friend a thought experiment I put together years ago during a debate on whether or not inequality is a prerequisite to economic exchange. The claim I heard from some economists was that you can’t have trade without inequality. While I believe inequality is inescapable, natural, not undesirable, and an… Continue reading Thought Experiments

Some days suck. When they do, I often want to skip the daily blog. Especially when I feel physically unwell. Knowing I have to write and publish adds stress and hangs over me. If it weren’t for my favorite three words, I’d probably skip. Compared to what? Asking those three words brings me back. Yes,… Continue reading In Sickness and in Health

Sometimes I don’t feel like writing. I go through phases where what’s on my mind is too deep and unresolved for daily dispersion, and writing a post seems like a dumb, surface level thing. I have tested breaks from daily blogging, and there are benefits to being more inward for periods of time. But the… Continue reading Writing Regularly Without Speaking too Soon

Daily blogging is a small thing. But missing a day of a commitment is a big thing to my psyche. Etching those tiny wins helps keep me happy with myself. I’m sick today and forgot about blogging until right now laying in bed (in fairness I was well enough to browse Twitter). So typing this… Continue reading Brutal But Worth It

I think daily blogging has spoiled me. It created such a massive acceleration in my life just a month or two after I began, and has never not noticeably made things better. So when I try other stuff, especially health related, I’m always a bit disappointed. No alcohol, sugar, or caffeine for a month. No… Continue reading Big Transformations from Small Actions

Sometimes I do my daily blogging elsewhere. Today, I’m sharing a few articles I posted recently about bitcoin to a cool Bitcoin Cash based Medium style platform. Why Bitcoiners Should Be More Selfish How to Ask for Money for Your Bitcoin Project

Criticize by creating. That’s one of my favorite sayings, attributed to Michelangelo. It’s a useful mantra that acts as a reminder to put energy into additive acts, instead of nitpicking. It requires risk and humility to create. You might fail. The critic sits back in the safety of inaction, poking holes in stuff he’d not… Continue reading The Blurry Line Between Criticizing and Creating

I don’t exactly know what to write. Not for lack of ideas. I took a 3 month (I originally wrote “6 month” then checked and realized it was only 3. I’m bad with time.) leave of absence from daily blogging. It was really good and gave me perspective. But it was hard too. The daily… Continue reading Let the Writing do the Thinking: Return to a Brand New Start

When there is sand in the gears and things don’t seem to be flying smoothly uphill, the best thing to do is sell. Just get some deals done. Any kind. Making $1 from a customer is better than messing around with ten things that don’t make money. Getting a deal done is like daily blogging.… Continue reading Just Sling Some Deals

I don’t have regular routines. Well, I do, but it’s just that they are typically in short phases and I vary them a lot from phase to phase. I’ve never found any great benefit to a single type of routine to start or end a day, but I definitely benefit from changing things up to… Continue reading My Current Morning Routine

I’ve been daily blogging for a long time, with a few reprieves here and there. What amazes me is no matter how long I’ve been doing it, I still enter phases where it’s hard but for totally different reasons than the previous struggle phase. You get through one struggle and it’s easy. Then a new… Continue reading Getting Tough to Blog Lately
