💭 Quick Thoughts
A lot of people have pointed out that a lack of a required personal finance curriculum is one of the biggest gaps in our public education system but, based on my recent interactions with some teens, it’s also clear they could benefit from learning how to use a calendar to manage their time.
Due to a fraudulent charge, I had to cancel the credit card I use for all my recurring monthly expenses. I’ve received my new card and am now updating my autopay settings for each vendor. A relatively minor inconvenience for sure but I wish there was an easier (batch or automated) way to do this.
As I anticipate my youngest entering her last year of high school, I realize some preparation is required to handle this transition well. For the past couple of decades, all my “free” time has been spent supporting my kids in their activities (sports, theater, music, etc.). I need some new hobbies.
Due to some folks in the neighborhood working through their fireworks supply until 3:00am this morning, I’m operating on 2-hours of sleep today. Not ideal considering that, after my workday ends, I’ll be making the 5-hour drive down to Eugene today.
How does a company go through an extensive process to implement a platform to centralize the planning, management, execution, and collaboration of work across teams and still end up having everyone update multiple spreadsheets and slide decks for things like roadmaps, status updates, etc…? 🤦🏻♂️
Just learned about My Mind today. Have you tried this? If so, care to share feedback on your experience? Looks like a pretty compelling product.
Does anyone else feel annoyed when invitees to your meeting end up forwarding the invite to others without checking in with you first? Or, is it just me? Maybe it’s just a Monday morning feeling. I guess I need to do a better job of setting the attendee options so that forwarding is not allowed.
I’ve been running and strength training a few days per week for the last few months. I’ve been feeling relatively healthy. This weekend my back seized up and I’ve barely been able to move. Not from exercising or being active. I was simply putting on my shoe. I guess I’m that age now.
