  2. Riskology has somehow ended up on a "leads for bra ecommerce" list. I've gotten multiple pitches for guest posts from stores that sell bras. How did this happen?

  3. It's never too late to keep a New Year resolution. What have you left behind that you'd like to get back on track? I'll start: Publishing weekly

  5. Don't judge decisions only by their results. Good decisions sometimes go wrong. Bad decisions sometimes go right. That's just luck, and you can't control luck. What you can control is what actions you take that will get you the best result most of the time.

  6. Doesn't matter how slow you're moving. You're going faster than everyone who's just sitting around.

    If you want to bother someone, hire them to dig a hole and fill it in again. If you want to torture them, pay them tremendously to do it. We need meaningful work. We're miserable if we don't see the purpose of what we do. Even boring work is good if you can see how it helps.

  12. Can you imagine being such a coward that you fear someone who's only weapon is a pen? Congrats to the brave folks at for waking up this morning and carrying on with their important work despite the tragedy and heartache they're enduring.

  15. Hi from Croatia. Wonderful place! Feels good to be doing the fast-paced travel thing again, but now I remember why I slowed down—hard to get any work done!

  18. Name one thing that is NOT improved by adding a plate of nachos.

  19. An idea to speed up grocery store lines: $5 charge if you write a check. $10 if you wait for the total before starting to fill it out.

  20. Hypothesis: The fewer expectations you set, the more happy and productive you'll be.

    Undo
  21. Battles being fought over ideas that don't matter. Wars waged over tiny, insignificant pieces of land. You wonder, "What's the point?" Then someone messes with something of YOURS. And you kind of get it.
