Don't feel bad, we're designed that way.

A strange thing to get angry over... until you understand it from another angle.

A follow-up to yesterday. Yes, my minimal and mostly useless show notes are alive and well.

I shouldn't get my hopes up, but the desire to improve our lot is a fundamental human drive.

I've been meaning to talk about this.

So far this week, logs and Spotify. That's it.

I highly recommend both of Tom Ferriss's podcast episodes with Josh Waitzkin. I've also mentioned Waitzkin's book, The Art of Learning.

The book: “Is This Anything?” By Jerry Seinfeld.

The app, in case you are interested, is Revolut.

The word I was struggling for was, of course, synaesthesia

More memories from Habits Of as Happy Brain.

The book mentioned is Habits of a Happy Brain, by Loretta Graziano Breuning. Recommended.

Come on... you know you've got one.

A second strong signal.

Here's how I set up a template for a client.

Here's the Andrew Stanton talk I mentioned. https://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_stanton_the_clues_to_a_great_story

Rumoured only, but here's why it makes sense. World-building matters.

Apologies for late arrival. Internet issue.

Be careful what you read on the internet.

Not morbid at all.

Here's the book, if you are interested: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Between-You-Me-Confessions-Comma/dp/0393352145
