Some observations on optimization...
Hello Reader,
Optimizing your life doesn't have to be cold and calculated. In fact, it can be a deeply conscientious and considered journey towards long-term productiveness.
One way to optimize with care is by scheduling regular breaks throughout your workday. Instead of pushing yourself to the point of burnout, take short, deliberate pauses to recharge and refocus. This caring approach will actually help you to achieve more while staying true to your needs.
Zack Arnold and I spoke with each other about optimization and being productive on our respective podcasts.

See you later,
Mike

Historically, this wasn’t always seen in a negative light; it was simply part of planning and prudent delay. However, over time, the concept...
Hello Reader, “Oh, no… I want to do that trip solo.” That was what my daughter said to me after I suggested we all go to Southeast Asia as a family. This was after she declared that area of the world was the next place she wanted to experience. She’d literally just returned from a four-month “gap year” trip to Europe with two of her closest friends, so I’m not surprised that she’d caught the travel bug. I’m not surprised she wants to do the Southeast Asia trip solo, either. But I was...
Hello Reader, Jim Vaselopolous was my podcast guest this week and I must commend him on writing his book “Clarity” in a challenging style that is hard to do well. So the idea of challenging myself, even in the simmering of the start of a calendar year, was something I decided to pursue this week. I started that pursuit on social media and I’ve decided to pursue it further here. This pursuit came in the form of a single question: Would you rather live a long life or a full life? Before you...
