Ok, I missed my Tuesday post and it's Thursday now. But I'm going to back date this one to Tuesday. It's been a week. I updated some of the website and bookeo to allow people to book large groups on their own. That took a while to do. Then it broke everything and worse, I didn't like the way it show...

Here's some of the things I've been working on this week at The Eureka Room. Program Updates This has been on my plate forever. I was excited to finally get on it. “Color Color” was too long I think (6 minutes) so I chopped it down to about 2 minutes and created 2 entirely new 1.5-2 min minute progr...

Creative people love to brainstorm, but it's important to know when to stop and start doing the hard work. When I get around to writing the IRLXD book, this is going to be one of the top ten things that keep great work from happening. Among the consequences: when brainstorming happens it can take ov...

Tomorrow I mark the 1000th day of meditation in a row. (Ok, technically I missed a day in there so tomorrow is the 1000th out of 1001 days, but that's not as satisfying to say so I'm going to fudge a bit since I'm not doing this for anyone but myself).

I came across the phrase "Déformation professionnelle" while reading a book (unfortunately I don't recall which one). Wikipedia defines it as "is a tendency to look at things from the point of view of one's own profession or special expertise, rather than from a broader or humane perspective." This...

I am swamped today with issues, but here's a few updates: January is a slow tourism month but somehow we might even beat December for our sales. This is amazing and bodes well. The landlord has agreed to renew the lease for another 6 months. That puts us through September. and gives me time to look...

I think the idea of people being "introverts" and "extroverts" needs to be reconsidered. The typical definition is something like "extroverts are energized by people and introverts are drained by people and instead energize themselves with alone time". In theory, extroversion lies at one end of the...

Some visitors at The Eureka Room tell me things like "thank you for doing this" or "I'm glad you're doing this". Until recently, I thought this was a way of saying "that was fun, so thanks for making it for us". But I've come to think that it's saying something else. Not just that they enjoyed the t...

I read a lot of business and self-improvement books. For my taste, many books in these genres lean far too much on anecdotes to explain concepts. While reading an anecdote-heavy book, I find myself asking: You’ve already explained the concept. Why are you telling me a story that just explains the co...

I was looking to write a post on this topic today and discovered I drafted this post back on 10/7/2021. More on that later in this post. Here's the updated post The last six months were the off season for my calendar company, and I was able to work on my new business, The Eureka Room. But lately it...
