    The 40 Hour Work Week Is Sapping Your Best Employees. There’s A Better Way.

    For many people (myself included), 40 hours a day is too much. I believe that we’re long overdue to shake up this work model, and using knowledge from my nearly 20 years in the workforce, both as an employee, and a business owner, I have come up with what I believe is a better way to measure success.

    I’ve been taking a lot of notes using Obsidian lately. One of the things I like to do is add keywords (not tags, just keywords) so that different notes will come up more intuitively in search in the future. This has proven to be something that ChatGPT can help do exceptionally well, using this prompt:

    Create as many keywords for this as you can think of to help me find it in search later. separate each keyword with a comma.

    I’ve been having some fun using AI to help me create a mascot for my affiliate program start guide. I’m really loving how much more fun it makes my landing page, compared to stock images of people. It’s a great way to prototype a character.

    I might make everyone into mermaids on this site.

    Actual footage of me telling ChatGPT “write me 10 different subject lines, but absolutely do not give me it in a {heading}:{description} format like you always try to do.”

    I can’t wait to fly this thing! It’s SO light, and delicate, but it’s rated at 0-15MPH wind speeds. I love my Quantum but it’s really hard to keep that thing in the air at those speeds. If you had short enough lines, you could fly this in a gymnasium.

    I’ve been using AI a lot this past year, but this is by far the best use case I’ve seen for it to-date.

    User: Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering? Assistant: I think so, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour? User: Perfect. Give me 10 more! Assistant: 1. I think so, but where will we find an open tattoo parlor at this time of night? 2. I think so, but how will we teach the elephant to do the cha-cha? 3. I think so, but isn't a quiche just an omelet in a crust? 4. I think so, but can we get the penguins to form a conga line by morning? 5. I think so, but where are we going to find a pair of rubber pants our size? 6. I think so, but what kind of fuel does a time machine run on? 7. I think so, but if we get olive oil, who’s going to get Popeye? 8. I think so, but if they called them "sad meals," kids wouldn’t buy them! 9. I think so, but how will we find a mime willing to talk? 10. I think so, but do you think the fish will really grant our wishes?

    With the help of a truck driver, we got Leela delivered to our hometown in Ohio, from Texas. For those of you keeping score, that’s 2 campers down. Now we just have to get Charlie back from Vermont this summer, and we’ll be all-set. PS: Leela is SO DIRTY. WOW.

    I’m late to the VR party but I picked up a used Oculus Quest 2 on a whim over the holidays. Holy crap. Every person in this house uses that thing every single day. Super Hot, Doom VFR, Beat Saber, and Supernatural. I am really enjoying it!
