    What is Clubhouse?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    ^This I've just received an email from a coach I follow (she teaches the business side of the acting industry & more). I'd heard of Clubhouse cos she'd mentioned it before, but here are her early results: For those curious for her full article: Creator, Not Consumer... on Clubhouse - Bonnie...

    INTRO 
    Hello David Welcome, & welcome back! (Kind of. Nearly. Soon. I'm in London :rofl: ) I used to want to compose for film & tv, & indeed have done bits, but thankfully realised early on that it wasn't the best path for me. I have however spent most of my adult life thus far doing various -...

    Anyone thinking of buying real estate in 2021?

    And a lot of San Francisco/Silicon Valley on Twitter seem to be debating between Austin & Miami. They mayor of Miami seems to be treating his city like a hot new start-up. It's interesting to watch. And Austin's picking up steam, but was already rolling.

    Anyone thinking of buying real estate in 2021?

    I've been looking to buy for a while, even put in an offer a few weeks back, but it got rejected. It was within the guide price as I knew there was another offer on the table also within the guide. Both got rejected as the owner (a professional landlord) wanted more. They since changed the...

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Still chugging along. My main thing from the last few days is I've been letting the time I do this creep later, & it's affecting my practice. I do it in the evenings because I love natural light, & spending an hour of daylight with my eyes closed seems like a waste - especially when darkness...

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I use it just as a timer. I like that I can pick sounds & interval sounds. I also like that it tracks total time - I'm going to crack 1000 minutes today! :smile: Looking forward to having this challenge help me rack up a chunk of my next goal of 6000 minutes. Found this, & found it very...

    Is Wordpress the best platform to build a blog / site?

    EXECUTION 
    That is an insanely big niche. Even ignoring the health side (which is the bigger category) and just looking at beauty, there's a world of difference between building an audience of (for example): a) Teens and MUA community who want a cheap & fun way to try out new make-up trends for whom...

    Wow - are you one of those people that doesn't have an internal verbal monologue because you think in pictures? I find people like that amazing to comprehend, because I'm so auditory based. I can picture a thing, but often struggle to hold an image for long.

    How was your 2020? What will your 2021 look like?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    One really shit break-up that kinda overshadowed everything. Lost a bunch of in-person freelance work. Struggled with my fastlane. Had many days of turmoil, tears, exhaustion, and floundering. BUT I also did 75hard. Completely changed my sleeping pattern (a lifetime's habit). Am taking regular...

    Well now, I obviously don't know what your voice inside is telling you, but am going to answer on the assumption that it's telling you to go fastlane, but you feel duty-bound to "play safe" because they're relying on you to provide (& that of course you want to provide, I'm not dismissing your...

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I think this is where I got a bit tangled with the instructions. I'd been happily focusing & re-focusing on my breath during meditations prior to this challenge, but this seemed like an invite to a free-for-all that I knew my brain would happily provide. Earlier in this challenge (yes I'm in...

    You don't need to be an expert

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Blimey, this reminds me of an early job I had - teaching harmonica. I had never really played the harmonica before I got the job, but had played a bunch of other instruments. What I learned in about a week meant I was good to go with teaching kids (aged 5-11). Sure it's easy to stay two steps...

    60 Days of 60 Minutes of Meditation - Let's Not Do Anything Together

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    So I began meditating daily 38 days ago, & having tried to start the habit before, this is the first time it's really clicked, so I'm tempted to join, but I'm unsure about the instructions. What I've been doing is the typical sort of follow-the-breath/focus meditation, where when my mind...

    I used to be in a small economics club that met once a month in a meeting room borrowed from a think tank after hours. Most fascinating speaker we ever had was a graphic designer from Zimbabwe who spoke about the reality of what it was like to live through that. Craziness. We played a game at...

    Self-Empathy vs Mental Toughness - Which One Do You Find More Useful?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It may seem like a cop-out answer, but I think whichever side you tend to is probably best tempered by at least some of the other. In your example, the overweight person with a tendency to self-empathy might realise they're eating emotionally, & do therapy for a year & have a breakthrough &...

    YOU HAVE NO CHOICE What am I talking about? We like freedom round these parts. We choose what we want to do & when. No boss breathing down our necks. We always have options. We're not beholden to anyone. Ah. There it is though. The first of the unfinished sentences we pretend is complete...

    Having Children...Pros and Cons?

    Make whatever choice suits you, but make an informed choice. Men may not have the same cut off point as women, but an advanced paternal age does increase health risks for the child. Certain cancers, schizophrenia, bipolar, autism, birth defects, miscarriage, etc. Obviously you play the odds at...
