Re: AE's Journal Round 5 - Finding Freedom To

And when I realized that I was staying in crappy jobs because I had the belief that all jobs were inherently sucky... Since I work in software, I've found it pretty easy to negotiate the working conditions I want because of the insane demand... Thus I realized that my low spending wasn't actually a...

Re: Journals that go from high spending to 1 - 2 Jacob level spending

Being a systems thinking newby, I'll admit, the problem with this type of thinking is that it becomes so overwhelming that it's very easy to lose oneself in thought vs taking actual action... The world is choc-a-bloc full of randomness, and randomness will mess with almost any model. Teaching Syste...

Re: 3 yrs to FI: ertyu's journal

Not really a single source. No. My best recommendation would be: Atomic Habits, Systemic Coaching, Work The System, The One Thing, Thinking in Systems, ERE, The Life Changing Magic Of Tidying, A Guide To The Good Life, and a smattering of personality tests. You need to understand (not know) yourself...

Re: Journals that go from high spending to 1 - 2 Jacob level spending

You shouldn't be in the process of lowering your expenses. You should be in the process of finding out what your life is about, and designing accordingly. In other words: Say no to EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything, even ERE, and start adding back on the vital parts of your existence. In time you'll...
