Guess what, I don’t know what it is. I don’t even care what it is. But you know, when you look within and humbly ask yourself. And answer honestly. You know what one thing will change your life. And I don’t. But I do know some things about it. I know that it scares you. […]
Nassim Taleb’s book Antifragile explores the idea that some things become stronger and more resilient with disorder and stress. Fragile things, in contrast, break when put under pressure. So, what is antifragile planning? I’d argue there is no such thing. What can be fragile or antifragile is instead your attitude towards your plans. Some people […]
A man with a plan is dangerous. A man with a plan is powerful. A man with a plan is a force to be reckoned with. A man with a plan can change the world. A man with a plan can change his world. A man with a plan will get things done. A man […]

You made your plan. Now what? Well, if you feel like I do today, you mostly ignore it and just try to stay awake through the important parts. Yep, you don’t have to follow the plan. You don’t have to feel guilty about it. You don’t even have to look at it. You scored a […]
