from Mark Manson [alt+shift+b] in life

13th Dec 2021
Years ago, I wrote an article that claimed the best way to judge the usefulness of self-help advice is by how many people eventually leave it behind. In it, I boldly claimed that if self-help advice actually worked, the industry would quickly go out of business. After all, if the...

Putting a 20-minute timer on to write the ole newsletter this week. Zip has 4X’d in the last two weeks. So, that’s pretty wild. Just working hard to execute now. Create curriculum. Hire teachers. Scheudle classes. Add the necessary features to the product. All that jazz :).

On Being a Slow Thinker

from Carl Barenbrug RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

2nd Jan 2023
For a long time I considered myself a slow thinker. Meaning, I felt I wasn't particularly good at thinking on the spot and articulating what I wanted to express. Probably one of the reasons why I never do podcasts and why job interviews are met with such trepidation. But I...

Here we go with another restaurant on my "to eat at" list but it has taken me until now to actually pay them a visit.  When Bluebeard and Nikita wanted to meet up for dinner, it was as good as any time to suggest Selene Aegean Bistro out on Pentiction at Hastings.  Not be...

7th Dec 2022
After Galveston we headed north, bound for New Orleans. We broke up the drive with a stop at one of the gates of hell, located in Sea Rim State Park, Texas. Sea Grim as we call it. Do not go there. Ever. For any reason. We had to abandon the bus there that night and retreat to a...

Making it happen vs. Letting it happen

from Jason Fried [alt+shift+b] in life

14th Nov 2024
Make it happen! You hear it a lot. And it's generally good advice, of course. At least the 'happen' part. You definitely want things to happen. But often times, it's the 'make' part that gets confused for progress. You can push a ball uphill, but should you? Not only does it take...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
