Venkatesh Rao, Logics of Caring:

We can actually just attend to the world we’re living in, rather than to derelict stories about it. Stories are nice to have, but it is better to have no story than a bad one.

Today was a 10/10 day and I’m just kind of dumbfounded and delighted with my own life right now. Nothing new or dramatic. Just putting little bits in consistently changes everything. I’m grateful, so grateful, to get to live these moments and days.

It’s only Tuesday? What a week (already)!

Nobody is more committed to the bit than Gordon Ramsey

Important perspective from Patrick:

I thought to myself that if I could go back in time from age 56, I’d let that 26 year old know not to do one single thing differently. Not to make a single different choice and take every same diversion. That in that period there will be the darkest days you’ve ever been through. They. Will. Suck! But it will all be worth every heartbreak and triumph. It will be worth every second.

I have been tracking my working time lately (ie how much time spent on x task or z project) and lemme tell you, I am really bad at estimating how much time something will take.
