It’s been a while since I read Tim Ferriss’ books. In one of them, he discusses a practice where when considering a task to work on, he’ll ask himself, “what if this was easy?” Rather than overcomplicating the work to be done towards the goal, he thinks about how he could get the work done in a low-barrier-to-entry sort of way.
I struggle to do that myself. I’ve always been an overthinker, turning mole hills into mountains and such. But I think it would benefit me to take some time with that question when it comes to story writing, which I’ve been avoiding, as well as other projects that get kicked down the road for future me to feel bad about later. Even small steps add up to distance traveled toward a goal.
I love that Rick Rubin has decided not to follow suit with his grandparents and their obsession with putting plastic on their furniture, but instead turning his entire sitting area into a haunted house with ghost furniture

(side note: I have not watched this yet, just curious why he chose this style)
I get the vibe that he likes the easily acquired minimalistic look
I’m four chapters into The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. So far, I’m enjoying it surprisingly a lot. A lot of what I’m reading reminds me of the start of Jason P. Lowery‘s Softwar book or thesis (I guess) wherein he discusses power projection occurring all the way back to the beginning of life on earth. It’s no Harry Potter, though. 😮💨😂
Day six without any alcohol coming to an end. Felt rather tempted most of the afternoon. Kept busy and had more tea and water, and made it to bed time. Woo… 😂 nostr:note1r59t88m7hrpah8n5lkgzfj9spe9lynswj6xsjmjqsrd0ms5rdkkqe5dyt9
New trick I’m working on. Haven’t quite got the ending I want yet, but figured I’d record what I’ve got so far and share it :)

Where does this store its copy of the chain history?
In code we trust.
Have you ever looked at Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power? I feel like it makes all the absurdity we have to look at on a daily basis make more sense.
With the new iPhone mirroring feature I can use Damus on my Mac hahahaha

I am become heating pad, warmer of cats. 
I love this Richard Dawkins quote: “We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.”
lol makes me think of “the beatings will continue until morale improves”
I guess you gotta have a comp sci degree to sportsball these days 😮💨
Gm! Who is Scottie Pippen? And when are they gonna make their buddy move a coin from a known satoshi wallet to prove it?
