Freelance Friday 063 – July 26
by
We’re having one of our best weather weeks in a while here in Chilliwack. I got out on a nice run on Monday which took me all the way to the US border, where I met some friendly Americans. Then back up a mountain and to the car. If you’ve found my content helpful then

Reasons to Purchase Physical Books
by
I don’t love every item on this list, but overall I do read more physical books than Kindle books now. This wasn’t always the case, about 8 years ago I took almost every physical book I owned down to the local used bookstore and turned them in for credit. $400 in credit to be precise.

How Hard Is It to Be a Millenial?
by
It’s an oft-quoted trope to say that Millenials are lazy and they want everything even when they’re just starting out and have built no real experience behind their work.

This Monday was my first Monday off in a long time, at least as a regular practice. Going forward, I’ll be heading on adventures most Monday’s. Climbing mountains and such because, who says you have to work Monday? Accordingly, I’ve adjusted the numbers in my budget so that I understand how many billable hours I

The Best Solution Is the Simplest and Oldest Sometimes
by
From Mark We live in a world of nearly endless options for productivity and writing software. Personally, I’ve tried many. But sometimes the best solution is one of the simplest and oldest. For me, that solution was “downgrading” to plain text files as my primary means for note-taking, writing, knowledge management and life organization. I’ve

The More I Write My Thoughts
by
From Joe: The more I write out my thoughts, the more I understand myself and the more I want to write out my thoughts. I too journal my thoughts on the day in my Bullet Journal. Sometimes it’s intimate, sometimes it’s me saying I wish I could read more without needing to do “billable” hours

Margin Gives You Breathing Room
by
Good short post from Shawn on breathing room. To be blunt, without margin, you are suffocating your ability to walk out your values. The margin I’ve created in my business lets me take Monday’s off for adventures in the mountains or to hang out with my kids just because they asked me to play with
