Last night was a good night. It was the second Friday of the lockdown. The Disney+ marathon continued with Wreck it Ralph. We ate too much Ben and Jerry's (The Tonight Dough). And ofc, the mandatory Rosé. As I threw the tarp over the grill and turned off the terrace lights,...
"There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen." And what a week it's been. On the macro level, the loss of life, economic hardship and debilitating uncertainty seem to accelerate with each passing day. On the micro level, every single person's daily life has...
Join our free GTD in Notion workshop on 3/26! In 1996 I sold my Magic the Gathering collection for $7,000 and bought shares of the Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund (today worth $28,516). But that wasn't best investment I ever made. What was? Reading David Allen's Getting...

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." Thank you Bruce Lee for your fast tortoise wisdom to becoming a badass. But if you aren't blessed with fists of fury...
When I graduated college in 2001, I fell under the spell of the Wall Street investment banks. I had one of those jobs where you worked 100+ hours a week, got anxiety attacks every time you saw your Blackberry's flashing red light, and constantly cancelled plans...
In my old world of hedge funds, there was a type of investment that was always accompanied by a buyer beware sign. It wasn't a tiny pink sheet microcap. Nor was it a hair-brained ICO that promised the Lambo Life of the crypto bros. In fact, its dangers were masked by...
