Knowing Too Much

Posted on May 25, 2026

100 billion people have lived on Earth. To know everything about everyone of their lives would take 100 billion lifetimes. That could be somewhere around 2 trillion years.

Even to know a little bit about 20 friends and family takes many hours, days, months or even years of spending time with them.

Perhaps it’s best to limit the amount you know about all these people in the world, especially people you have never even met.

Think about it. Spend the time on your life, not finding out everything about others.

Get Fit. Stay Fit.

Posted on May 18, 2026

Food is a fuel, not entertainment. Use the best fuel you can by eating natural foods. Anything processed is obviously not natural.

Walk a fair bit. It’s a nice thing to do. Fresh air, movement, and sunshine are fabulous for your health and staying trim.

Develop good habits now. If you do, you’ll find staying fit quite easy over time.

Things Are

Posted on May 17, 2026

Things are, events happen and situations occur. Sometimes we want things to be different and they aren’t. A real superpower is to be able to live with any outcome without batting an eye.

Acceptance is a critical skill to keep stress at bay and not waste time on things you can’t control.

Assess Quickly

Posted on May 7, 2026

When faced with a problem or opportunity, assess it quickly. Most things are simple. They take longer because we complicate matters. We are especially good at this when we don’t want to do the obvious and efficient thing.

Are You Productive?

Posted on May 4, 2026

Do you waste a lot of time on ‘nothing’ activities? Getting coffee, having a cigarette, calling people to chat and eating or drinking are some of the larger time black holes.

You think you’re working a 16 hour day, but what you actually get done could be done in 3 hours of work. The rest of the time is busy but doesn’t progress anything

Audit your day. Be honest. What could be eliminated, delegated or done more efficiently? Write it down and start doing it today!

Sort Out Your Environment

Posted on April 28, 2026

Have a really detailed look around your bedroom. Is every single thing in that room how you want it? Clothes, pictures, dressers, wardrobe, laundry basket, bedside table and even the drawers that are in it. Does this all bring you ultimate joy?

If not, start moving a few things today. Then move a few more things tomorrow. Keep doing that everyday until the set up is how you love it. And make sure that it is also conducive to great sleep.

Then do the same thing with your bathroom, kitchen, living room, front room, dining room, etc. spend 5-15 minutes per day making everything how you want it.

Then your life will be forever changed!

You Are Amazing!

Posted on April 24, 2026

Yes, it’s true.

You don’t realise it, or accept that it’s true. But you are incredible, yes, I mean you.

You’re bright as a bulb and funny as heck. You’re just the one I’d want on a long, solemn trek.

You make me laugh and that’s a good thing. And you may not know it, but you make my bells ring.

When you’ve got a thought, you shoot guns a-blazing. Regardless of that, I think you are amazing!

Life Is So Fascinating!

Posted on April 20, 2026

Everything in life is so fascinating.

The idea that we are here and can read this and understand it is quite amazing!!

It is incredible that our hearts beat, bodies digest and lungs breathe, all without us even thinking about it. Whether we are awake or asleep, busy or at rest, our basic functions keep happening without us having to give any directions.

Bees make honey that we can eat. How does corn know how to grow from a seed?

Life is so fascinating!

Negotiations Often Require 7 Touches

Posted on April 19, 2026

When you begin a negotiation, start by thinking you will go back and forth 7 times or even more.

Don’t start out thinking it will be one and done. Begin with the idea that they will reject your first 3-4 offers. In fact, you can make the first, full offers such that they are very likely to reject them.

When you prepare for rejections and 7 touches, it makes it easier getting through the negotiation.
