Day 22 (Dave) – Personal Development Yesterday And Today
This was the second time I tackled a project late in the day. I probably need to stop doing that. Still, I managed to eke out a solid list of both positive and negative experiences.…
Day 21 (Dave) – The Mountain of Unfinished Projects
Today I ran into some emotional resistance working through the exercise—partly because I started late in the day when my brain was already spent, but also because the exercise focused on one of my weakest…
Day 20 (Dave) – Bookends and Breadcrumbs
I’ve been thinking about my daily bookends — the first five minutes after I wake up, and the last five minutes before I fall asleep. Right now, I start and end my day with doomscrolling.…

Day 14 (Dave) – You Can’t Handle The Truth!!!
Today, after finishing the exercise, I couldn’t help thinking about the infamous scene in “A Few Good Men” where Jack Nicholson shouted “You can’t handle the truth!” Today’s exercise was about facing the truth about what…
