That's a very valid point. I used to call writing in Evernote, writing into the void. Though the beauty of any system is you design it. You get some kind of say in what's important…

I second, second brain. heh. I invested like 20 hours setting up my notion just right, and it's so worth it. It's so much more organize than my mucky/intangible brain. I also belie…

I'm 5'5. Working out won't change your height but it definitely changes the way you look. I have a beautiful girlfriend. I also have been compliment plenty of times on the way my c…

Serious question open to anyone. What is the line between "short cut" and "working smarter"? It's not related to this post. Stealing is wrong. It just seems to me the line between …

I don't understand why you are discrediting people who are taking the better path to med school. Work smarter, not harder. There is also short game vs long game. For example, if yo…

This is a very selfish view. Plus, I don't think it's even valid.

This is what I'm afraid of...My previous job wasn't hard. What was tiring was forcing myself to work on stuff I don't care about.

Updated my profile to contain my email. Thanks!

That sounds fun, but my gf probably wouldn't like this. haha Luckily, I'm in a very low cost of living area already.

Any tips on contracting? I have only got contracts through recruiters. Can you get them directly with the company?

I feel the reason for burn out was because I was working on something I don't care about. I don't necessarily think the work was extremely demanding or anything. The problem was fo…

Not planning on having kids for the time being

This sounds like what Phil Knight did in Shoe Dogs...haha. This is good advice. I have traveled to Iceland, China, and I'm going to Europe this summer. Granted those were more like…

Any links or resources on getting started as a contractor/consultant?

Thanks for this insight. There is a chance I'm in this boat. I'll have to think on this.

Do you have recommendations on where I can find part-time work?

I totally agree with the risk comment. Also, my idea is to onboard small businesses slowly. Maybe, adopting and building out features/tools for one business at a time. Until the pr…

Haha, I ran across this quote before. I like it. Thanks

This is exactly what I'm afraid of. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I think this is good advice. I should think things through more... Also, I am willing to take a pay cut if I can work on my idea, instead of working for something else. I don't nee…

Yea, I'm not sure they are great ideas. My reasoning for the productivity app is because I want to build something I personally need and I haven't found a good solution. The yelp-l…

A little about me. I'm close to 30. I recently left my job, I was burnt out. I want to take 1-2 months for myself to reflect and figure out my next steps. I'm a software developer …
