I still have no idea where this link is going to take me. a.co links always go to some illegible Amazon URL, so I think it’s fine to use them.

I guess, but... 1. You can see it is Amazon 2. If you click it and are expecting "product A" and instead you see "product xxx" you probably won't proceed further. 3. This is Amazons fault, not those that have posted short URL's. There simple is't a longer URL that says: http:// amazon.com/this-is-the-product-you-were-after-just-in-case-you-are-skeptical-of-a-short-url-given-to-you-byu-someone-you-dont-know-beware-dan…

3. Whar do you mean?

Example: https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-70UK6570PUB-70-Inch-Ul...

Is that a URL shortener? Please post the link with a fully disclosed address. I’d like to see the content on the other end, but don’t know where it’s going to take me.

Sorry about that, it's an amazon url shortener; was in a hurry and just c/p the link from ios kindle app. Others have posted the url for you. Slainte

Don't apologize to the ornery whingers. URLs are addresses, not content. There's no reputation or credibility issue with URL paths, they are totally arbitrary. Only domain names have credibility.

Some urls maybe I guess. I can’t claim that all products Amazon sells don’t have more descriptive urls.

> Job, marriage, Kids, and life in general does not allow me to have a fixed schedule. The way I fixed this was to get up early. If I get up between 5-6am, I easily have 2-4 hours of time before anything attempts to derail me. During these hours, I go to the gym and then get my most focused productivity of the day done. The rest of the day is flexible depending on what's going. Before someone chimes in that I'm going…

If only my kids would sleep to 7 am every day... Our youngest (2y) is awake between 5-6am every day. Both go to bed between 7-8pm. Not much time before and after unfortunately.

Exactly my point, I am trying to work out how to manage despite these interruption. Cory Doctorow's suggestion seems reasonable but personally I need more structure so not able to implement his advise.

Biggest issue is energy. One bad day of unhealthy eating because I got too busy simply screwup next few days. Sometimes I feel I need a drill sergeant to keep me ontrack.
