All Work and No Play Makes You…Normal 16:53

1M ago16:53

16:53

The concept of play conjures the image of my three-year-old (and blonder) self, plastic shovel in hand, amorphous stains down the front of my pants. And certainly slobber. Lots of slobber. That three-year-old was certainly not concerned with social hierarchy or status, lacking a whiff of ambition to put the best version of himself forward. He playe…

Four Years of Financial Independence: The Slow Growth 15:10

2M ago15:10

15:10

For four years I’ve watched something slowly bloom. In my old life, the “before time” you might call it, I moved from task to task.

Goals and accolades were everything, a…

When we make important decisions, we are often not as rational or objective as we’d like to believe.
