About once a month I drive 2 hrs away and stay the night to co-work with my team. It has become a ritual to get donuts from our favorite faraway donut place and bring them home to my kids. It costs a lot to leave my family for a day but traditions like this make it a bit easier to do :)

My fledgling museum SaaS, which I have no time to work on and a solid list of product improvements, keeps getting 2-3 highly interested customers booking demos a month. Miserable, painful, validation when I know I ought not to be investing my time into it right now :(

Furnace couldn't handle the cold. Looks like it finally bit the dust (it's 32 years old) This is great news because we're still under home warranty on it. This is terrible news because it is very very cold outside

One of my biggest mental breakthroughs was when I changed my mindset from "This system is stupid and I'm going to spend all my energy fighting it." to "Even though this system is stupid, I'm going to operate within it to my advantage." Much better results, way less stress.
