My 10 Guiding Principles (For Personal Decision Making)
A more personal post where I overview the 10 principles I've developed over time to help guide my decision making. I'd always had random ideas on principles to use to determine the actions I take but formalized a list in 2016. It's evolved ever since then. I'd encourage you to write a preliminary list of your own principles before continuing to read this post. There are no guidelines or rules for developing your own. The only characteristic of your guiding principles that matters, in my view, is that they are true to you.

How To Think Clearly By Writing
Humans write to persuade, inform, tell stories, and change history. Writing is more impactful than ever with vast and instant distribution. On the internet (or before the internet), one person's writing can change the trajectory of the world. I'm writing more in 2021 because it will clarify my thoughts. I want to think better so I can do better and be better. It's also fun to look back on what I've previously written.

Hey World – Think For Yourself And Think Different
Do you hear that? That's your mind. It never shuts up, does it. I’ve blogged about my thoughts in the past and think that the time has come again to put them out into the universe. There’s no one listening yet but I’m doing this for me. I want to write to help clarify my thoughts on various topics.
