I had a 4 monitor set up for poker at one point - there were so many sites and tables to watch. I kept it afterward for a while. But I found I was most productive with a single small screen. No distractions and easier to focus on a narrow task.

Very surprising. Would def think it'd be good to have a screen big enough for at least web browse plus excel. You still play poker?

I haven't played in a couple years. It's hard to enjoy after playing ~10 million hands over 15 years.

I used to play a lottttt of chess, so I know what you mean

At some point you're just learning these obscure, tiny edges that only other top players are thinking about. And since I didn't want to play against them there's really nothing to learn. At that point it's just a pure grind.

Word. Trading time for money, not compounding knowledge like investing.

I doubt investing ever gets boring. It's super interesting and fun learning about new things all the time. And it compounds like you say. Know enough about oil and you notice details other people don't, for example. Is ecommerce like that still?

Being a business operator is, but e-commerce is a lot like you described high-level poker had become, a lot of grinding with learning concentrated in esoteric specialization. This hack to improve search ranking on Amazon. This new FedEx program, etc.
