  Few things I am pondering

  All from my favorite thinker and author Mor­gan Housel. Gosh, that’s me too! I’m at the stage in life where I stay out of argu­ments. Even if you say 1+1=5, you’re right. Have fun. Keanu Reeves via Smart Things Smart Peo­ple Said I think there is a lot of val­ue in focus­ing more to devel­op smarts than… Read more

  So true for companies and people

  We can all be on our best behav­ior for a lit­tle while, but the longer while tells the truth. Jason Fried — Com­pa­ny cul­ture is the last 50 days Read more

  Doing Hard Things. Consistently.

  This week I real­ly strug­gled to start my work­outs. I ate piz­za on Mon­day, and slacked off on Tues­day for no rea­son. I final­ly did an upper body work­out today (Wednes­day). I nor­mal­ly get one work­out done by Tues­day. I will com­plete two more work­outs this week before I board a flight to Asia on Sun­day. But it dawned on me… Read more

  Quite Good

  I did­n’t quite under­stand the mean­ing of quite until learned this from my cowork­ers a few years ago: “quite good” in Amer­i­ca 🇺🇸: real­ly good, very good, total­ly awe­some “quite good” in the UK 🇬🇧: fair­ly good, actu­al­ly not that good real­ly Read more

  Turning 40!

  Today is the last day of my 30s. Life is rarely all good or all bad, but I am so thank­ful that my life and work expe­ri­ence of the last decade turned out large­ly in my favor. I owe a huge part of it to my fam­i­ly, mov­ing to this coun­try and work­ing for my cur­rent employ­er. I… Read more

  Week 15, 2023

  This week I exer­cised Mon, Wed and Fri. And I walked for an hour on Thurs­day. I bought and returned the Bose Smart Sound­bar 900. It is not an impulse pur­chase— I have been con­tem­plat­ing it for a few months. But when we got it home this week­end and set it up, the sound out­put didn’t meet our expec­ta­tions,… Read more

  Week 13, 2023

  We are three months into 2023. Time flies! This is the last week of Day­light Sav­ings which has end­ed today (Sun­day). The days are already get­ting short­er and cool­er. I love the sea­son­al change. So I am look­ing for­ward to cool weath­er and wet days over the next six months. This week has been great. I kept all… Read more

  Week 11, 2023

  This week is good. I was on track with my week­ly goals, and kept my habit streaks. Will share specifics on my week­ly habits and goals in a future post. Moved to 1Password. Good rid­dance to Last­Pass which served me well for the last 7‑ish years but I am con­cerned with the fre­quen­cy of breach­es late­ly. So import­ed… Read more
