Your dude was on another podcast: https://www.earnandinvest.com/episodes-8/where-to-invest-when-markets-are-shaky

Specifically, The Earn and Invest podcast community episode. It was great fun.

The idea of including cash in your "portfolio" was an interesting topic, and it made me think of The Universal Portfolio essay: https://joshbruce.com/essays-and-editorials/finances/the-universal-portfolio/

Winding down on Time: Mastering the Mundane, and Money: Mastering the Mundane is ramping up. I should revisit that essay to cover the logic and rationale leading to it.

You ever feel like you’ve showed up to a basketball game carrying an American football expecting to play soccer (just “football” everywhere else)?

Asking for a friend.

I think I'll start experimenting with a "folderless" hard drive setup again.

Any interest in a series of articles on that?

Time: Mastering the Mundane is on Scribl: https://www.scribl.com/books/EEDEB8/Time

We use Crowdpricing, so price is based on downloads and reviews, which means, as of this writing, it’s free.

We opted into Crowdpricing Everywhere; so, it should become available “everywhere” soon.

I found a couple of typos while recording the audiobook; corrected files should be coming soon.

The book is typeset for print and roughly half of the raw audio is recorded.

The main book page for Time Mastering the Mundane has been updated: https://mastering-the-mundane.com/books/time-mastering-the-mundane/

Currently recording the raw audio for the audiobook and podcast variations. Have about a third recorded, and one Part through initial edits.

Found a couple of minor typos while recording. Corrected on the Leanpub version, and waiting for Scribl to let me know how to update it with them.

Print version is typeset.

So, still going as expected.

Converting individual coaching site to : https://mastering-the-mundane.com

Adding more pages. It makes sense to start using templates (just enough - just in time ).

I'm using trunk-based development without feature flags because .

Replaced scheduling link on main page: https://calendly.com/mastering-the-mundane/30min

Pushed to main and was like, OMG, I'm gonna need to roll that back!

But, nope, because none of the new pages are public. So, same public .

I think my mind-body-time connection is improving.

I set 60-minute timers when working on Time: Mastering the Mundane - https://leanpub.com/master-the-mundane

For the last few days, my brain has been thinking, "Isn't this timer over?"

When I ask the DA how much time is left, she's like, "About 5 minutes is remaining." Never more than 10.

I learn best through experience and experiments. The Mastering the Mundane site is a fun one - at least to me: https://mastering-the-mundane.com

Currently a single, static HTML page. I started building out the “books” area today.

The challenge/experiment: How YAGNI can I be, and for how long?

I could make it “flashier” with…stop. I could make it “more automated” if…stop.

The book page for Time is a single index.php file in a folder (require_once levels of old school).

Sometimes, you don't have the energy or mental capacity to work on the most important thing without messing it up.

That's where I'm at right now.

I could set aside everything and take a nap. That way lies dragons and possible escapism, though.

Alternatively, I could find something that is less important (but still important enough) and requires less energy and mental capacity.
