The Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull is really quite good and fun to read (longer series). Been reading it to 8 / 9yr old boy and we've loved them all.

I've been listening to the audiobook and have enjoyed it a great deal thus far (about 1/4 in). Helped me think about work in a new / fun way that has helped me start of the year right.

Strongly agree. Picked up a consistent walking habit amidst the pandemic while also undergoing a divorce. Been hitting 10k+ steps per day for a couple years now and have been amazed at all the positive second order effects - time to think and reflect, calmer, better digestion, more endurance, lower bodyweight.

Not to mention just the pure joy of being out in nature in all sorts of conditions - rain or shine. Walking is what humans are meant to do (as far as I'm concerned).

Love this one. Have a similar goal. Any interest in an accountability buddy? Email is in profile if so!

Could you talk more about how you made this pivot? Was the transition to product owner a step down initially?

Laughed at this list.... But you missed org mode devotees!

I've been trying to read the article you wrote about spacemacs for several days, but it appears your site is down! Any chance you can fix it? :)

Perfect - I'll try this out. Thanks for helping me out despite my newby-ness!

How did learning lisp help you understand the power of Emacs? Just starting down the Spacemacs road myself (from Sublime Text), and curious to hear more about your experience!

Doesn't sound crazy at all to me! I do this all the time using multiline editing in Sublime Text. It's the one part of a more modern IDE I have a hard time giving up (transitioning to Spacemacs currently). Will have to try out this script and see if it helps bridge the gap!

Overeating

I haven't tried it but I too was intrigued by that thread and added it to my list of things to try. It seems like the risks are relatively minimal.

What NIR light are you considering purchasing?

Beautifully put, thanks for taking the time to write it.

It's also a perfect summary of why I'm struggling mightily with working a predictable job (that anyone should love) vs working on my next business or other volatile pursuit.

I need to get Go All The Way tattooed on my forehead. I hope it's a mindset I have the courage to maintain for the rest of my life.

In what ways did reading Difficult Conversations make your life easier? Very curious to learn more (it's been on my list for a while, but need to motivate myself to get around to it)!

On that note, have you ever read Non-violent Communication? Seems like another book in the same vein.
