I’m continuing to make progress with the project I told you about a few weeks ago. This evening, I am tasked with emptying out much of the kitchen and replacing it with the Le Creuset cookware we bought earlier today now that the Ruffoni and Mauviel copper pots are scheduled to have a permanent, organized…
Read everything you can, put it into practice, and don’t stop until you can break apart the topic into its constituent parts.
Several years ago, I told you one of my big strategies for achieving things was creating projects, giving them a code name, setting a deadline, and tracking them in Things task management software. At any given time, there are main projects that span several quarters, or in some cases, years, with several sub-projects underneath them.…
A few hours ago, I finished writing a piece about global investing through a Roth IRA, which was published to the About.com network. It got into some of the complexities of foreign investing, including the differences between share classes domiciled in various markets and currency translations.

I had some work to do but I just couldn’t focus. Still, I wanted to be productive.

[mainbodyad]My week is booked with responsibilities for work, and the spouse also has a…
Early morning, a giant package arrived from FedEx containing the historical annual reports of a company I’ve been studying for the past couple of weeks. I’ve built positions in most of the accounts under my purview, including my household portfolios. Even though I have read the financials in PDF format, I want to go back through the hardcopy, line-by-line, and make sure there is nothing I am missing.
Today was one of the most enjoyable days I’ve ever had. Sometimes, it is the really simple things in life that give it meaning. Everything else is a distraction. I’ll probably spend my evening reading.
I had a hard time waking up this morning so I stayed behind in the room to drink some coffee, take a shower, and study a company I’ve been researching lately. I met everyone over at the Animal Kingdom theme park for our lunch reservations at Yak and Yeti. What has been on my mind…
