What I do now is use a stack of nice small notebooks from Field Notes (no relation, just a customer), one for each project. I just scribble things in when I need and it helps me push forward!
That forced summarization I think does a lot for the brain. I find handwritten notes are almost not needed after the notes are written... your brain already put the summarized information in your head because you had to work with it to pick what was important.
Legal fees are a rounding error to these companies. It's all about the "power move". They don't want to work with people who'll stand up for themselves over "a measly" $50K.
But if you need money it’s just one of those things you have to do.
I think what should happen is the whole syndicate should share in total legal fees pro-rata or something. That way the lead isn’t wearing all the legal fees.
Also think this is based some in the standard practice of banks passing through their legal fees to those they lend to.
Whatever you want to do, set a timer for two minutes. Hit start and do that thing for two minutes and really beleive that after two minutes you can stop.
Once you get going you rarely stop after two minutes. But telling your brain only twos minutes, and let’s see what happens, kind of let’s your brain give you two minutes to focus.
Oh, and go write without a computer. Get a pen and paper and leave ur phone on your desk - go somewhere else. You get to sit there and either write or do nothing. That tends to help too.
This is awesome! I should really check out the PICO-8, or maybe something similar but open-source.
Also, spending on space continues to be and has been a very small expense, not only smaller than cosmetics, but entirely dwarfed by military spending and welfare, both of which are highly contested as to whether they provide net benefit at all to the people of Earth.
You'd have to be ideologically possessed or completely ignorant of reality to believe this anti-space bs.
> American citizens need to decide what they prioritize. Is it space exploration or is it a decent standard of living at home? Is it the moon, Mars, or Earth?
No they don't.
We can prioritize both, and frankly, life on Earth will be better the more we priotitize space exploration, not worse.
It leads to a very delayed gratification despite very real near term costs. So it’s easy to attack the costs and focus and prioritization...
But if you don’t invest in science as a whole, eventually you start running out of new things that improve life generally.
Space exploration is one of those areas where we learn and continuously bring back learnings to the rest of society.
But in all seriousness, there was so much printed money thrown into stabilizing things by the Fed that a fear that the economy isn’t ready to pick itself up without that money being injected isn’t unwarranted... I just don’t know what you do about that concern...
