    How do you make the transition each day between day job and Fastlane project?

    MINDSET 
    Took time this weekend to ponder. I realize I'm not actually tired or drained after work. Since I lost 20 lbs., began eating healthy and started working out, my energy levels are pretty good and consistent. It's more like emotional friction making the transition from day job to Fastlane...

    Holy cow => a cold shower? I can see how that would work. Not sure I could handle the shock. :)

    How do you make the transition each day between day job and Fastlane project?

    MINDSET 
    After the slow lane day job I'm often drained. Though I enjoy my Fastlane project, it's tough making the transition when I get home from the day job to work on it. What do you do to decompress and get your energy back up to work on your Fastlane?

    Minimalist lifestyle?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Related: I like to collect things. It's a personality flaw. If I get one thing in a series and like it, I'll quest for the rest. How do I de-program myself?

    I hit search for craigslist bootstrapping and JackEdwards but didn't find anything that looked like it related to the references in this post. I am on my iPad. So I blame Steve Jobs. That or I suck at search. If anyone stumbles onto those threads, could you paste them here? Meantime, I am...

    Burnout Cycle

    MINDSET 
    This is an email I sent to one of my lists this morning. Maybe it's of help? Subject: This kind of boxing is like a punch in your unhappiness I like time boxing. You put your time criteria into each week's box. 5 hours, 10, whatever your commitment is. Then you do what you can within that...

    400,000 visitors a month - how to monetize them?

    +1 to starting an email list. Scan your threads for what people complain about. Look for solutions to offer them. Survey visitors about what their problems and desires are. Ads suck, imho. CPM is steadily going down. It is a treadmill.

    So I Quit Caffeine This Week... Should You?

    HOT!

As for acuity, well-being and other heuristics, I feel you should look at all inputs before deciding whether removing one had a positive or negative effect. Eat food rich in micronutrients and avoid processed...

    Progress thread: Apemania's Sword & Sorcery fiction

    PUBLISHING 
    With fantasy being notable for epic length books, what is your publishing plan? Will you keep adding adventures to a single volume until you reach 100-200k words? Or are you going to publish smaller works to test response? Or something else entirely?

    Fighting the Desert of Desertion?

    MINDSET 
    I call this The Grind. Seth Godin calls it The Dip. He has a good short book on the subject you might find helpful. I have been listening to interviews lately, including MJ's at a millionaire site. Many of the interviewees talk about the bad periods and challenges before achieving success. I...
