    The New 1/5/10 Daily Planner from MJ (w/gamification)

    EXECUTION 
    I'm personally using the Boox Note Air 2. It uses Android so it's easier for me to customize the launcher and use specific syncing apps so I can review my notes on my PC or print them. The Scribe is better for doodling and if you enjoy the Amazon ecosystem.

    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This is a little on the extreme side, but what I've been using the past year are E-ink devices like the Hisense Hi Reader to replace my doom scrolling with more reading. It has Android 10 but it gets the job done for me. If you're in any country aside from the US, you can get the Hisense A9...

    The New 1/5/10 Daily Planner from MJ (w/gamification)

    EXECUTION 
    I'm using the old 1/5/10 Daily Planner and it works for me! However, I moved to a hybrid pen and e-ink approach for easier editing. If anyone is using a Kindle Scribe, Boox Tablet, or something similar, you can use MJ's planner as a notebook template and jot everything from there.

    Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread

    HOT! CHAT 
    I'm definitely opening myself on getting roasted, but I've done overemployment for 3 years and it finally happened that I lost all my jobs from back to back layoffs. In the end, a job is still a job and you're still putting faith in a system that could axe you at any given moment. I don't...

    Breaking My Phone Addiction

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm in a similar boat and started reading How to Break Up with Your Phone by Catherine Price. A lot of it drives home to what's mentioned in the thread but she also provides studies on how checking your phone a million times a day changes your brain chemistry. It's a quick read and I already...

    What am I looking for? Accountant? CPA? Finance person?

    TAXES | REGS 
    Depending on how many transactions you have, you can reconcile your accounts quarterly. Don't forget to put anything that isn't related to your business as Owners Draw, your CPA will thank you. Also, setup some bank feeds on QuickBooks Online (or Desktop) if you haven't already. Make some rules...

    The Broke Accountant

    HOT! INTRO 
    Yeah it's always in the front of my mind. I took a break for a while to get my finances in order and now I'm back in the swing of things. I went from poverty wages to making middle class wages in less than 2 years and debt free. Granted it's slowlane, but I learned a lot and it's just a means to...

    The Broke Accountant

    HOT! INTRO 
    How are you my friend? I'm also a bookkeeper in the US and after working in public, I don't want to be an accountant just because of the lack of work-life balance and the garbage pay unless you're on the partner path or a controller in industry. However, you definitely have a lot to offer. If...

    Bookkeeping or Coding to reach my goal.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Bookkeeper here. the best way to get your feet wet is through public accounting. They're always looking for bodies to help out with busy season and you'll learn a lot with working with multiple industries. I wouldn't stay there for more than a year though because busy season basically kills any...

    Officially Debt Free, Where do I Start?

    INVESTING MINDSET 
    This is very helpful, thank you everyone! I had a feeling that $82k wasn't going to get me very far at the moment, but your opinions help put things into perspective. I'm always investing in myself thankfully. My slowlane job is a means to an end and if anything, the last 3 years have shown me...

    Officially Debt Free, Where do I Start?

    INVESTING MINDSET 
    Hi guys, I hope that you're doing well! I'm sure this has been posted ad nauseum but the more I look into this, I'm the more choice paralysis I'm going through on what to do. I'm fortunate to be in a position where I paid off all my student loans, live with family, and I'm very liquid ($82k in...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    I did consider that, but it was a basic algebra problem. Sometimes it does go off the rails when I don't ask it math questions, so these days I treat it like a 14 year old with ADHD.

    Anyone noticed that GPT-4 has gotten dumber? The speed has improved, but I had to correct it's math when I was trying to calculate some sales tax today.

    Is programming a worthwhile skill to learn for entrepreneurship?

    HOT! INTRO 
    I think it helps if you're already an expert in your field, because AI is definitely not ready to replace certain industries. Even as a bookkeeper, I still have to occasionally correct ChatGPT on how to code certain accounts and some journal entries. I see it as a good compliment and a good...
