Blame Tim Ferris…..

I started this blog 16 months ago originally as a log for my trading, to see if I could bring some structure into the process. Since then I have been offically diagnosed with ADD, and begun both medication and behavioral work which has made a huge difference in my life. I have been able to build structure in both trading and the rest of my life. Part of that process involve evaluating your life and eliminating things that are time wasters and don’t add to the overall quality of your life. This blog is one of the things I have been evaluating. My original goal, to keep it up for at least a year was already met, so I have had to decide if it is worth continuing. And if so, in what format. I have so much to say, both in trading as well as other parts of life, and I am not sure if this is the forum to do it. Besides, it does have somewhat of a “mastibatory” feel to it.
Anyway, I have decided to procced with it, but only as long as I can do it in a worthwhile way, that doesn’t consume too much of my time. The end result should be more concise, and hopefully interesting posts, done in a move efficent way (for me).
And on that subject, one of the other motivators for this review, has been the best seller…
Now I will admit that much of the author’s book has a “snake oil salesman” feel about it. I don’t fully buy everything he puts forth, but it does make you think about what it is you really are aiming for in your life, and give a lot of ideas on how to cut out those things that are not contribtuing to it.
I would say, worth the $19.95
