Just had an adventure in home ownership…. spent an hour and a half trying to program my garage door. First, it takes me 40 minutes to figure out how to program my new remote. Turns out my right side garage door machine is missing the “learn” button. Figured out how to do it with the door openers by the side door.… read more “Garage Door Opener”

My Endomondo app tracks my runs I have done for the last 6 months and says that yesterday I set a personal record in the 10k. However, I think it was the first 10k distance I’ve run in the last 6 months! Endomondo reported my time at 55:47 which worked out to an 8:59 average pace.… read more “10k Record”

I am continuing to get my home office set up and it is coming along quite well! I have my sitting desk set up and am working to get my treadmill desk set up with a wireless access point for it.

 

I have been putting a ton of work into my ProvenRecruits software for recruiting. I feel like every time I fix one bug, I discover two more features or bug ideas that I need to work on. The app is slowly coming together though and I am very excited to onboard my first customers next week!

I enjoy playing chess and Rocket League on occasion. I have definitely learned about myself from both:

• Patience – I often am impatient in Chess and make moves faster than necessary before considering all options. I am trying to learn to wait and really think about everything first. Same with Rocket League, instead of just chasing the ball around the map like a little dog after a rabbit I am trying to watch the ball come in and then make a plan for how to handle it.

For the first time in seven years, I will be working remotely starting next week. I started the company from home, and after a little less than a year hired people to start working with me in my apartment. Three years of apartment work later, Coalition moved into an actual office in Culver City. I am nervous now about going back to remote work because I want to make sure I am able to keep my motivation up at a high level.… read more “Nervous about Remote Work”

I would eventually like to write a book or two. I am just too busy right now with the business though. I have had a few ideas and even outlined and started a couple. I had a fantasy book with gates where the character would level up. I thought about a nonfiction based on my early business years and relationships.

Today, I did the Marine Fitness test again on the treadmill. I do feel like it is much easier to run on a treadmill then in real life, but I am still happy to report that I am improving. This time I was able to maintain a 8.2 mph pace / 7:18 per mile. My goal is to continue to increment this up 0.1 every week or so until I reach 10 mph!… read more “Run Today”

I noticed that even though my physical fitness levels have been rising with my run times on the treadmill, it seems that my waist line is expanding slightly. At one point, my pants were a little loose on me when wearing waist size 33. I have noticed now that even 34’s are a little tight on me.… read more “Heavier”
