Good morning and happy Monday NOSTR Fam!
I've been itching to get this week started since yesterday. I really can't remember the last time I've felt this way on a Sunday.
When I was running the hamster wheel in the fiat mines, Sundays were typically marked with anxiety, regression and in some cases depression. So even though Sundays were typically a day off, they rarely felt like it. Because my mind would begin the race over the meaningless "busy work" I'd be contending with in less then 24 hours.
I have a lot to do this week.
Some of the tasks on my lists may bare no fruit and might be considered a waste of time in retrospect or by some. While other tasks may have the opposite effect by leading me closer towards my "north star"as Martha Beck would describe it.
But none the less, I'm eager to tackle these just the same.
I had a few phone conversations already this morning. One close friend of over 30 years (we served together) asks "it's been a month since you left the fiat mine, do you think it was the right decision?"
I couldn't help but laugh (on the inside) he meant well. It couldn't be more obvious to me in just that moment how different folks with a high time preferences view and experience life.
My response: Al, most people will not see that it was the right decision for me until perhaps another 5-10 years. So when I tell you yes, it was definitely the right decision, I don't have quantitative data to back up that answer yet.
So do me a favor, let's revisit that question in 5 years. "
His response: Bet!
He was one of the beneficiaries of the SVB bail out. Some may think this fact has nothing to do with this note, but it absolutely does if you think about it.
Off to finish the morning hike. Make today a massive Monday.

Print and frame worthy for sure.
Not sure if that was the right answer. π€¨
Here's a nice jam to rock to on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Seba, I was asking myself the same question not more then 20 minutes ago when I logged onto NOSTR.
I still don't know and that's ok. It's another #nostr #campaign.
Something like the #uncle, #footstr, and other campaigns that basically erupt of nowhere.
What they said ππππππππ
In #NOSTR ville, it's just another Sunday. ππ
From #foostr to #garlic #nostrplebs will find laughter & humor from just about any note. Not sure how it ever starts or by who. But can't help but π at life's simple joys.
If you find yourself on the 7th day, the day of rest and reflection itching to begin the next week in the excitement and eagerness to tackle and progress in the tasks that lay ahead...
Resist the urge. While your mind is hungry and up for the challenge, your body is tired and the day of rest is critical and necessary if you are to succeed.
So how do you do this....take a shower, put on your most comfortable set of pj's. Crack open a bottle of vino, make yourself comfortable, open the kindle and read a book.
*Erik no disrespect intended. One of my best friends bares the same name spelled differently. My brain needs to expand. π
