We have a 2nd Amendment because America’s founders believed armed citizens could fight back against tyranny. 

The last two years have seen a large public outcry against what is perceived to be police racism and shootings of minorities. 

In Dallas, 11 police officers were shot by a man who apparently believed he was exercising his 2nd Amendment rights to fight tyranny.… read more “2nd Amendment”

I have been continuing to listen to my lectures on Habits and now the author has moved on to organizational habits.

He uses a couple of examples that strike close to home for me:

1. A hospital in Rhode Island had unhealthy organizational habits so that nurses and doctors were at odds with one another and doctors did not allow nurses to question their decisions.

I was listening to an Audible.com lecture on Habits yesterday while I was running, and the lecturer mentioned that Starbucks has a great employee training program. Basically, employees are fully trained in each position then they do role playing with their manager for all sorts of different awkward customer situations that can come up and how to deal with each.… read more “Starbucks Employee Training”

I have been reviewing my investments over the last few days and I am not quite sure what is best to do.

Laurel has been in NYC for the last couple of days and won’t fly back till the 4th of July. It has been a bit lonely without her. I have been working more hours and then playing Rocket League at home at night. Looking forward to her return!

My company, Coalitiontechnologies.com, now does 3 months of work every day. Our team of 60+ puts in nearly 500 hours of work each day.

Motivation seems to ebb and flow randomly. I would really like to develop a better understanding of how to build up consistent motivation and maintain it. A few influencing factors I’ve noticed on my motivation are:

• How many calories I ate that day and the day before (more generally gives me a bit more motivation)
• If there is anything that scares or angers me that gives me drive
• If I have something I am excited about working on
• If I’ve exercised too much or too little recently I’ve noticed that can reduce my motivation

General advice from the internet suggests:

• Set small and measurable goals
• Develop a mantra (verbal statement reinforcing a positive mindset)
• Commit publicly to accomplishing a certain task
• Create your own routines and rituals

 

Over the last seven years, I have been trying to build the very best SEO services company in Los Angeles. We follow all of Google’s best practices.  We get epic results for our clients through creative marketing methods. We have very positive reviews from our customers in general.

I woke up this morning at 6 am with the intention of working on building out phpunit testing for my recruiting application. 2 hours later I finally find myself at my computer after having surfed the internet on my phone in bed all morning. Reddit, Nytimes, Hacker news, Facebook…. they suck you in and don’t let you go!
