No matter how deep I go into tech, there’s something about building with your hands that just hits different. Some satisfactions are timeless.

Most people think they have a focus problem. They don’t.They have a framework problem.

“Most men do not think at all. They feel. And feeling without a framework is just noise mistaken for intuition.” Elbert Hubbard

We built entire economies around that noise. Feeds, notifications, and content designed to keep you reacting instead of deciding.

Nobody teaches you how to plan. Not in school. Not at home. So you move through life responding to whatever is loudest, calling it instinct, calling it flow, calling it being present.

It is none of those things. It is drift.
The people who seem focused are not more disciplined than you. They just decided, at some point, to build a structure that makes decisions before the chaos arrives.

That is the whole secret. A plan is not a schedule. It is a filter. And without one, everything gets in.

Also, Gm Nostr

Sir this is by far one of your most potent posts of 2026 thus far! It definitely inspired some ideas that i am going to integrate into a piece i am currently writing. Thank you for that!

The state is not real. It is a story we tell each other so that some people can take from others and call it policy. Bastiat wrote that in 1850.

Our grandchildren will still be relearning it. The book is called The Law and it is 75 pages. Read it.

Also, I freaking love Nostr and all you crazies!!

Finished reading it on vacation a couple weeks ago. Excellent. Was wondering to myself who I could persuade to read it. Tough sell now a days.
