Yes I read this as well but feel like I missed a lot. Can someone explain what they got from this?

Don't know if I could pick a superlative example from that blog, but the post about telling someone to put their iron in the car so they can stop worrying about it being left on really stuck with me.
Great blogger, and I've only read a handful of what he's written. Most of it not lifechanging, but entertaining. e.g. silicon valley house party posts.

Thanks for the link. That’s a great reminder for how to live.
Living in a car and eating dog food?
Maybe I'm too tired and missed the point, but usually when I read things about living more simply and not keeping up with the Jones, it's presented in a more romantic way than sleeping in the back of a $1,000 car and dog food. Is the point to make the reader feel better about the stress they have, because they don't want the stresses of the alternative?

I just archived 15,000 emails between 2 accounts about 2 hours ago. I hadn't thought about inbox 0 in years and kind of gave up on the idea, but sometimes it feels pretty good declare email bankruptcy and start over. Maybe if I did that more often I would stop setting up new email addresses with the thought that "this time I'll do better". All that has done is created fragmentation, which makes the problem worse.

#20It is difficult to choose a one blog post among all. But I feel there are few type of post which changed my thought process are blogs written by experts in the field. I love reading how they think about something whether its a computer program or science or cooking or hobby they have.
Also more than just a blog I love reading author, if I like something about blog I go deep read their other blogs as well and if I feel the guy is worth following I just start reading their blogs and I do read repetitively.
