Ideas are like stars; untouchable. But choose them as guides like a seafaring man on a desert of water follows them to destiny.

Life is a journey, keep moving. Don’t get stuck or complacent. Embrace change, learn from experiences, and constantly move forward towards personal and professional development.

I Choose To Juggle

Way Up the Steps

I choose to juggle this year and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

That goal will serve to organize and measure the best of my energies & skills. That challenge is one that I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, one which I intend to win. -thank you John F. Kennedy

Mental activity in the pink matter (wet) comes up with an idea that drives the hand that picks up the pencil & paper (dry) and writes the idea down. From there it gets uploaded across the firewall into (air) cyberspace.

Daniel Kahneman refers to Fast and Slow thinking as System One and System Two, respectively. System One defines the effortless, intuitive part of our thinking while System Two explains the kind of concentration that involves effort.

The time & energy required to train your mind to STOP thinking is even greater. That higher level of control over your thoughts is achieved through the practice of meditation.

Everything is a System

Everything is a system and part of a larger system. The universe is infinitely systematized both upward & downward. All systems are complex.

Last night G stepped into a conversation between R and M. The problem R was expressing to M was exactly the same problem G was experiencing.

It seemed R and G might commiserate to find the one right solution for both because, although M and R were on the same team and G was leading a distinctly different team, any answers found would be to their mutual benefit.

But, G was outside R & M’s coupling and so easy to dismiss.

IMPLEMENT SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY

Focus on situations with change potential:

  • High stakes – responsible for the outcome
  • Novelty – not drawn from the past
  • Challenge – done faster and/or better
  • Interaction – work with people

This approach requires serious commitment. Development requires time. The secret is to invest a few moments every day to maximize learning.”

History

The domain name MMXXII.com, first registered at Dotster more than 14 years ago, was once quantified in value as being little more than a D grade, unlike other more or less ambiguous domain names, which happen to get rated A+.

My plans are to develop this website into something interesting, at least worth the value of your time. Stay tuned to see how it improves over the following days.

Here are my next steps:

  1. Find out why there’s a SSL security error on iPad.
  2. Create a system to curate image files and save database records.
  3. Write a parser.php app to read traffic log files.
  4. Print business cards with MMXXII in Cochin font.
  5. Contact potential online/offline affiliates; what’s wanted?.
  6. Walk/bike around handing out business cards, talk to decision makers.
  7. Put up a keyosk at Bay Area markets to sell MMXXII tchotchkes.
  8. Kick shopcampbell.com into gear to help with branding.

Now it is time to focus on workflow.
