Me?

I’m just a guy.

The first year of this site, I was writing about time tracking, history, travel, goal-setting, probability, reviewing nonfiction, and some interesting but fairly mundane stuff.

Then I woke up one day and realized that life doesn’t just give you what you want – you have to go get it. I started being radically honest, radically transparent, and demanded to be treated well by everyone in my life, to the highest possible standard…

…and it’s amazing what a difference it makes.

But enough about me. Let’s talk about you. I have a few recommendations for you -

1. Don’t trust things that are “happening in the future” – 90% of stuff that’s dreamed about or promised won’t happen if there’s no good reason for it to be delayed. Write a date on the calendar, buy the plane tickets, schedule the lessons – or you ain’t going to do it.

(Corollary: Promises are useless. People make grand promises all the time, and rarely deliver if they’re not delivering right now.)

2. Stop lying to yourself. Do things, or don’t do things.

3. Once someone breaks their word to you, immediately stand up and call them out. If you solider on after someone breaks their word to you, you’re their bitch after that. Don’t be anyone’s bitch.

4. We’re all scared. Do it anyways. There really isn’t all that much downside.

I’d say “good luck,” but you don’t need it. See you around.
