Comment on Table Selection – When to Hold ’em vs. When to Fold ’em? by Taylor Pearson

Yea. I have found it more effective to do project sequentially as opposed to in parallel when possible. E.g. Two weeks on raft A, two week on raft B, etc.

Thanks. I feel I am eyeing off a few creeks (side projects) building small rafts (MVPs) for each but not ready to jump all in on one until I get a strong signal the creek is the right one.

That article was interesting to conceptualise the problem but doesn’t offer any solution. Agree?

Re: “I have doubt I have jump to a table to far away from my experience.”

It’s a tough spot because there really isn’t a right answer. My usualy heuristic is that the jump should feel slightly out of reach. You should be scared but no scared that you are paralyzed. Imagine jumping over a creek that you think you can make the jump but aren’t quite sure.

Comment on The Perfect Morning Routine (Backed by Science) by Manish Goyal

Very well structured morning routine procedure. I agree with your thoughts on taking small steps at a time. Making a habit is much more critical than going full blown to follow all.

I myself started following meditiation (headspace subscription), exercise, breakfast and journaling for last one month. It really simplifies my entire day and keeps me focused. One thing I also found useful is hearing podcasts while commuting from home to office and vice versa.

Thanks for sharing the article.

Comment on My Favorite Heuristic for Evaluating Relationships: The Antifragile Person by Meredith Marlin

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for writing this

Instead of calling it “openly critical” of people I think a better way to put it is you are being Authentic. Yes, your criticisms of them are your opinions but I would be wiling to bet they are the truth. I’m often too authentic for others so I have to gauge just how deep I get- I’ve found that for most people they are just not there in their own authentic journey so if I take a stab at being authentic and they squirm I will just back off and let them be...
