First issue was really good...

Deals a lot with probability (first issue had an article about poker off all things) options from the sell side, books, etc. From the folks at TastyTrade.

If you follow my options thread on the inside, its highly recommended to take a read. (And I think FREE at this point.)

Bill Burr has a hysterically funny and entirely inappropriate routine about lotion. I nearly had an aneurysm I laughed so hard at this guy. But then I started thinking... hey, maybe I should be using lotion. I don't have the face I used to have after all...

So for a few weeks I lotioned my skin in the morning and evening. The stuff is everywhere anyway, since my wife buys it.

Then last night we went out with a bizniss group and we were all chatting, introducing people, meeting up, etc. More than one person said "well, you're probably a lot younger than I am but..."

In each case they were my age or within 4 years.

All I could think was "Ohhh! Act until echo! Act untillllll echhhhoooooo!!!!"

I feel a bit disturbed reading bad shit about MJ in all the entertainment pages only to realise that is how they now refer to Michael Jackson in their headlines. Phew.
Serves me right for noticing that crap. Minutes I never get back.

This is the only website that I have security addons(adblock, ublock, noscript,ect) turned off. I'm beginning to change the way I feel about advertisement.

Tomorrow I am going to conduct a test on myself.

I am writing out my day tomorrow and what I will be doing at each hour and see how effective that is for me. I've found myself idling recently and I need to reverse it so I don't fall into a pit that is hard to climb out of.

Working from a 'to do' list works for me in employment, but at home it's a hit or miss. Idea is that by incorporating my to do list into a itinerary is I can get more done. It's a popular thing to do, so I'm curious to see the results.

Well, this worked. The planning hour by hour didn't necessarily work for me, but reconnecting to working off a list did. I did 25/29 tasks in the last two days. I'd say in the two weeks prior I'd have done maybe 14/29.

So, no quite 100% but a vast improvement and a good example of self improvement, discipline and getting back on track for anyone who cares.

How is it we have engine oil that protects metal moving 1000-9000rpm, and yet the best we have for home dental care is toothpaste. Which hasn't seem to have changed in at least my lifetime 30 odd years.

I look how today's communication turns more into symbols and emoji's reminds me of past civilizations such as egyptian's, mayans etc.. and how they used hieroglyphics. Seems like we are moving more and more to that. Add to that a future where we are paperless, then makes me think if we got wiped out or left earth we would leave the same traces as the past "extinct" civilizations.

Along those same lines.. Reading about A.I. and how when it becomes self thinking/learning would have knowledge and understanding that we wouldn't even be able to comprehend. The analogy was that if we are on a step of intellect and an ape is a step below and an ant is four steps below. A.I. would increase it's intellect it's step above at a doubling rate every hour etc.. so in a matter of hours it would be like us now trying to explain to ant the sunrise and earth spinning in the galaxy. No one seems to think about a future where A.I. simply just leave earth and explore the galaxy, and doesn't even give us a second thought. Just like we don't even think twice about an ant.

Or all this tech hits a wall and there is a god.. who knows

Anyone seen Venezuela recently? What a catastrophe...

People are literally drilling into water pipes because they have no fresh water. Children are dying of starvation.

And the best part, they're an oil rich country!

And here's the Venezuelan president eating steak prepared for him by the Salt Bae

I'm so tired of anything political, I wish there was a way to block it all across the internet. I could not give a flying F*ck about it, from either side.

Oh no this is one of his class things recommended by another Fastlane forum member. It’s called Future Authoring. You basically hafta answer questions about what you really want.

It makes me want to suck my thumb and find a sugar daddy to pay my bills.. ffs. I’m only halfway through. I swear I’m a capable leader who accomplishes stuff every day right up until somebody makes me clarify my goals...

Haha sorry, it's just I hear "Jordan Peterson" and I'm immediately reminded of politics and want to be sick :D

I've recently started doing something similar where I clarify where I want to be by a set date and exactly what it's going to look like and how I'm going to get there. Every morning and night I read it out loud and structure my day based on it. It's from "Think And Grow Rich" and it's working pretty well.

My favourite form of procrastination is looking up goal apartments and cars...

Perhaps an idea ... a plugin that erases any article or headline with a political figure in it.

In the last year I've been politically abstinent on the web -- refusing to visit any website with a political focus and/or a political agenda (which is mostly all of them)--- and still, I can't even pull up the sports page without some sports story indirectly tied to some anti-Trump narrative. NFL player gets arrested for DUI... is Trump to blame? It's disgusting that I can't even willfully extract all politics out of my life and I still see it everywhere.

That's some insane play there... some great sportsmanship too.

Apparently these guys are friends... the whole think made me laugh, and I'm still smiling. The judges trying to keep a straight face... priceless.

I get a daily list of multi-million dollar homes/estates in the valley (5M+) for inspiration and design ideas. Every so often I'll look to see who owns the house and see what they do for a living. It's my little form of confirmation bias that never fails me.

Every time, the owner of one these palatial estates is a Fastlaner, or a Slowlaner with massive intrinsic value (doctor, athlete, etc.)

I like making a game of it and guessing what the owner does. Entrepreneur is always the safest, winning bet.

For instance a $9M house just came up for sale in my town.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/13950-E-Bighorn-Pkwy-Fountain-Hills-AZ-85268/95103403_zpid/

I guessed entrepreneur.

I looked up the owner and sure enough, inventor/entrepreneur.

https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix...technology-inventor-puts-9m-ultra-modern.html
(Looks like the house was for sale prior as well.)

Point is, you can always trust Fastlane mathematics to be behind big wealth. I wrote about it ten years ago and it still holds true today.
