Learning to Slow Down (with Nichole Nordeman – Parenting Great Kids with Dr. Meg Meeker)

I thought this was a good show. While most of the talking is about moms there’s a lot that is appropriate for dads to keep in mind as well.

The Most Dangerous Thing You Can Do While “Multitasking”

Leave a comment

So true. Please enable “DND while driving” on your phone! Both the iPhone and Android have the feature. I’ve been using it since I updated to iOS 11, and it works well. Just getting the notifications I found was a distraction, and since I can still get calls from my “favorites” it’s been a huge help.

Amor Fati

1 Comment

I really like this post on A Stoic Response to Bad News, but just wanted to call out the philosophy of “amor fati”… which if truth be told I could stand to implement more often. Anyway, what does “amor fati” mean?

  • Love your fate
  • With it you feel that everything happens for a purpose, and that it is up to you to make this purpose something positive and active.
  • Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happen the way it happens: then you will be happy.
  • Treating each and every moment—no matter how challenging—as something to be embraced, not avoided. To not only be okay with it, but love it and be better for it.

A worthwhile listen on the art of persuasion even if the main subject discussed is unpleasant.

How to Communicate with Your Partner About Money

Leave a comment

Love the perspective here. It would probably behoove me to consider some of this more often…

    1. Recognize your fears
    2. Consider your partners fears
    3. Know your numbers
    4. Make a plan and trust the plan
