Hitting your Pace

I run a comfortable 6:30 – 7:00 per km pace. I vary between it, sometimes going lower, sometimes higher (depending on where I am in the run), but generally I’m there in that bracket. The only way it will improve is if each day I show up (giving space for rest days) and work each day to shave off a second here, a second there. The goal is to get below 6 mins consistently, and at first I thought that was a goal that could be done in 2 – 3 months, but I was properly corrected – by my

AI Rest

When my chainsaw gets too hot, I give it a rest and go off for a bit, then let it cool down before doing more work.

Something might be happening in your organization that no one knows why, so they give it a name, a thought, a concept – and it becomes bigger than it is. And then you

Various Ideas

Take all your ideas. Write them down. Order them. Prioritize what matters to you. Put them front and center in your face. Pick one. And ship. (Don’t stop at putting them in your face, this is the last step before it becomes real, where many stop, pick and go).
