    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    I simply add stuff when I need it. Daily journals and weekly reviews go into Calendar dir, new notes that are added by default to Inbox dir, and everything that I consider handled goes into Atlas dir. I have few maps of contents, nothing special, it was inspired by Linking your thinking guy...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah I went through that phase shortly, but ended up doing moving away from it because it annoyed me too much. I will never go back to any top down system ever again. I'm doing my hacky version of a private digital garden. I just write daily and whenever something pops up. Once a week, when I'm...

    How do you journal ?

    MINDSET OFF-TOPIC 
    I write daily using Obsidian. I don't have any complicated structure, I just write things I'm grateful for and then write out all the bullshit I want to get out of my head. I used to write 3 things I would do that day, but now I do that the night before. Sometimes I feel like I took a good...

    How To Attack Bad Habits With Inconvenience (DIGITAL VERSION)

    MINDSET 
    It's not clunky, it's just the way computers work. Hosts files are available in every OS, this works in Windows, MacOS and Linux. There are other apps that can do that "less clunky" but you are sacrificing security of your computer for something that takes you 5 minutes to learn. Theoretically...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I think it was my grandfather, or some of his friends that told me this when I was a kid. Guys that lived through WWII in Eastern Europe, and various "fun" regimes, stuff we can't even imagine. Sometimes the question should be, if this is on the news, what isn't? I personally subscribe to Dark...

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I figured out what was going on. Some time ago, I clicked on LinkedIn Open to hire and selected Contractor. I thought that was a signal I'm open to be hired as a freelancer. What I didn't know at the time was all the language differences listed above, that contractor means something else. Also...

    Well, you already invested the time, and if it works for you both, then that's the only thing that matters. I'm definitely scarred by stuff I've seen, all the examples in my previous post are real events that happened haha

    If you need something quick you use some of the SaaS website builders. If you want something that will serve the content secure and fastest way possible, you have to use some kind of static file generators/caching/CDN. If you want full control, you have custom websites for that. If you need...

    They are in a completely different class of product, Hugo is a framework and a tool, Wordpress is a general purpose platform. Hugo is only serving static files and Wordpress is fully dynamic. That means that if you want to do some dynamic stuff in Hugo, you have to use some external APIs. If...

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm talking to another person on Linkedin, and I'm confused again with the language. I specifically said I'm a freelancer, the person replied with what seems to be B2B contracting in line with BounceBack wrote above. If I understood it correctly this is basically a job offer, but we call it a...

    I don't know anything specific about your situation, but I do know that starting over at 56 will be harder than at 55. Wish you all the best in whatever you decide.

    What skills should I learn in 2024 ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    I definitely feel triggered by this comment and the one above about self employment. I didn't consciously think about capitalization being a skill at all up until now. My mindset for a few years was black and white - bootstrap everything by yourself vs take investor money. Nothing in between...

    What skills should I learn in 2024 ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Maybe it's a stupid question, maybe it's language difference, but I have to ask. By capitalization you mean finding investors and money in general for your business? As in, I want to do something with a business, but I'm going to be in the red short term because of that, so how do I find ways...

    I have many opinions on this particular topic, but I've already spent enough time today on this forum. I would love to continue this conversation at the some later date though.

    And there are countless other examples, xz recently, and so on and on. Which are all true. But that doesn't make the FBI evil, it's simply their function. Of course they try it. Let's say it like this, this guy felt comfortable publicly talking about how FBI approached him. That's not nothing. I...

    I don't know the context of question or the answer, and I'm not going to watch any of that fear porn bullshit, but there could be legitimate reasons for them to ask.

    Question for business owners about communication when hiring freelancers

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I agree that charging a flat rate, and fitting the service in the box will probably be better if I want to scale. But I'm not looking to scale, I'm just freelancing to pay the bills while I work on my projects. Another problem is that I don't know how to make that a reality. Reason is that I'm...
