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!

3 Months of Work Every Day
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
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

Reddit, Nytimes, Hacker news, Facebook…. they suck you in and don’t let you go!
Video Uploads

The problem is that large videos can cause out of memory errors or timeout errors or cause your server itself to bog down.… read more “Video Uploads”
The Lure of Unhealthy Food
I have been eating more unhealthy foods recently. On Father’s Day, I had a steak with butter and a beer. At Disneyland, I had a Churro. Last week I ate mochi ice cream, and a few other unhealthy foods.
I told myself each time that it was no big deal since I workout a lot and generally eat healthy.… read more “The Lure of Unhealthy Food”
Cost Per Unit of Productivity
When I worked as an employee at Visible Technologies, I thought to myself that if I ever owned a company that I would like to pay people based on actual work output rather than just for having their butt in a chair.
Now that I do run my own company, I have found this to be nearly impossible to do.… read more “Cost Per Unit of Productivity”
