I’m finding small ways to lower stress and enhance my calm such as meditating. I would suggest a minimum of 2 minutes in a quiet spot and focus on breathing, nothing else.Ā
I use my Android’s built in timer but you can simply use whatever is convenient. Try it!
This is my second check-in ofĀ GHR 2013.Ā By now, most people have abandoned their NYE resolutions and that is where GHR comes in for me. So, on with my resolutions.
Here is my progress from 3/3 when I started this until today, 4/4.
I need to lose a minimum of 8 pounds this month to achieve my goal of 20 pounds off in 4 months.
Keep up the relocation effort. After a couple of phone interviews and no results, this is discouraging and difficult to do in another state.
Tax season has taken a large mental toll on me and I have to shake this off.
Iāll be checking back in on 5/5 with updates.
The minute I stopped caring about what other people thought and started doing what I wanted to do is the minute I finally felt free.
The signal-to-noise ratio is measured by comparing the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise.
A lot of people on the web, myself included, are comparing the level of desired information to the level of distractions.
How can we possibly filter out something meaningful and useful when we have so many posts, tweets, and likes?
Iāve been in a year long process of cutting back. In the past, I subscribed to everything and contributed as well.
There were personal posts and business tweets andĀ hundreds of web feedsĀ to consume. Since then Iāve changed my online persona, deleted my Facebook account, pared down the number of people I was following and more.
If something didnāt have value or if someone wasnāt enriching my life with their posts about what they had for dinner, it got cut.
As a photographer, Iāve even changed the way I display my images. Flickr is more for personal use, if that. Instagram? Gone.
Socially, I am onĀ Google PlusĀ and onĀ Twitter.Ā This website is my personal hub from which everything else revolves around.
Doing these things have allowed me to regain my time and be more productive. I can focus on what is important to me and not what others want to tell me is important. Thatās not how the digital life works. The web is what you make it.
Sick on a cold grey day is a great excuse to stay in bed.
So I recently turned 40.
I also just weighed myself at 197.6 pounds. Letās round up to 198.
This is the heaviest Iāve ever been. On a 5ā7ā frameā¦thatās a lot of BMI.
In the past, Iāve participated in a few adventure races and loved it.
There is a new one coming up in a few months that I will train for.
Recently signed up with a great fitness center and looking forward to dropping those pounds to around 175.
For some reason this song lyric resonates with meā¦
Well I donāt know but Iāve been told, you never slow down, you never grow old.

To “reboot” means to discard all previous continuity and start over with fresh ideas.
To scrap everything and start over with fresh ideas and perspectives.
Previous posts (2005-2012) have been archived.
This is my reboot and constant web evolution.
