The routine of the work week and the pressure of our job responsibilities can often get the best of us. However, whether it's putting more effort into your job, or finding one that makes you truly happy, its time to commit to your career.
"apparently 6/26 notes did not post. it was hope based. same again: i hope to drop the total task or objective and drive 1 hr at a time and log it like I do with gym"
"An entire day without talking negatively! 30 min cycling and taking a pedagogy course. Studying chess 1 h 45 min. Turning everything off at 10 PM. A good and positive day!"
"After a lot of effort I finished the article - https://open.substack.com/pub/businessanalogies/p/business-analogy-031-domino-effect?r=3az3p&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
What I have realized is that the reserach done for composing the article is actually more than the article itself, and pushing all the research to the end of the article, will make it easy for me to understand the effort that went into creating the article. The article itself needs to be very small by design but the research will be huge since what you need to create the article isn't readily available,. Also writing articles and adding the appendix is helping me understand how this article connects with others, i got a few more articles inspiration from this - for example the rube gold berg machine was mapped to the complexity bias - as over engineering - I also discovered the thundering herd Venture Capital while trying to fit it into the domino effect - similarly one way two way doors - analogy - was written for Domino effect but it became a separate article - Another thing that came up during the research is COMEDY OF COMMONS - while working on the network effect and the penguin problem - and that became a separate article - I also discovered Distribution Neglect's evil twin, taking the horse to the river - another article was created - I also got the bull whip effect i.e. the knock on effect, the ripple effect and the butterfly effect that were exponential domino effects and I could create a new article out of it - FInally the research also helped me understand COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT - all punished for the sins of one - was not a domino effect and this is the opposite of tragedy of commons - and it led to another article - Deep Research will give you more article - the deeper you research for each article, the more time it takes to finish the article but the more articles you will find in the process"
"I have not made any progress with new opportunities, in fact I have lost existing opportunities, my project came to an end today and I am job less for the next 45 days till August 15th 2025"
"I am planning to resume the work on the ABROAD NINJA - to be able to find more opportunities for product management jobs outside india too. I just have 11L pending to become free to search for any jobs full time. Just a few more months away. But I got 45 days of free time - since the project for ednectar has come to an end and the new project of corporate law will not begin before August 15th I am free till then and I want to invest this time to get the articles to 50 and then start hunting for publishers"
"Poxa, minha fixa da tca já foi eliminada. Mas foi legal dublar ela, ela é bem divertida. E o do momo continua firme e forte! Momo merece esse trabalho grande "
"I am working on this article - #Business Analogy 005 - Soup of the Soup of the Duck - Reductio Ad Absurdum / Implosion - Malicious Compliance
Also working on # Business Analogy 031 - Domino Effect - Drop of Honey - Chain Reaction - Mimetic Contagion - Cast the First Stone
I might be able to close one more soon. Also got sushma engaged on this project, she will help me with the research making it easy to find the right story for the right concept"
"I have completed an article successfully - #BusinessAnalogy 004 - Digging a Well - Spreading oneself too thin - Strategy & Steve Jobs Laser Focus - Brood Reduction & Filial Cannibalism - Spartans & Chinese
This is an old article that is revamped - I have now started working on the DOMINO effect and another article 005 - I will be able to produce an article a week going ahead."
"I missed Monday. I had an event I was leading Monday evening. It consumed all of my time. I didn't get home until after 11pm and by the time I got a moment to myself, it was midnight. I considered logging on then, but I was exhausted and didn't have the willpower. I learned that on the day that I have my show, I need to take care of this important task earlier in the day. Otherwise, the show will by default become the priority. I also learned to not base my entire goal on having a successful week. I was on point the rest of the week and I want to make sure I'm getting credit for that going forward. "
"Completed on Saturday. I had some distractions to get around first before I could start working. But, once I got started, everything flowed like normal. I tested a new approach to writing posts, which also worked out well. Baby steps :)"
"I will be starting today, I have tried a lot of things but nothing worked and finally here I am trying it once again with like minded people I am sure I will definitely succeed this time. Now I am off to learning Duolingo."
"After 4 unsuccessful days, I finally achieved the goal today. Felt like a win.
Read the article on Dot: The Allure of Too Much
Started the book: "Too good to be true" by Mostly Sane - Read 14 pages."
"My reward today was that I got 0.01% closer to in mindset to my dream life goals. Accountsbility is that if I fail, I would let down people I love and rob them of happy feelings and experiences. Consequences would be that I lose money and that I’m robbing myself of my own shit. My one reason why is still the fucking Japan trip and able to give shit to ppl I love. Glew today in that I took iniative. needs to grow in actially signing and acting shit up. I would have given people actually value, smth necessary, I am in a contract w myself, ts is necessary."
"The 30 minutes are going by quickly. I'm still feeling resistance to starting and am finding myself putting it off until later in the day/work period. This is getting easier, though -- once I get started, I find it easy to go. I'm noticing that I need to be more thoughtful about how I spend my time on LinkedIn so that I'm getting out of it what I want. Namely, I need to be more direct in my outreach. I'll work on that this week and start slow with the direct outreach. "
"I batched my posts on Saturday so I was able to complete them in one day. I felt good about the posts I wrote and I will start with a new style to attract more attention to my posts. I felt some resistance to this, but only because I was being lazy and unfocused. Once I got started, it wasn't a problem. "
