The Flywheel of Fasting

Why are the first 24 hours of an extended fast so difficult? You’d think the longer you went without fasting, the harder it would be. But, no.

Genius Project Update #13

At the end of 2014, I started what I called the Genius Project.  The idea was to explore the concept of putting in 10,000 hours of work and using deliberate practice towards my playwriting to achieve mastery or become a “genius” in that realm.  For just over a year, I kept track of the activities…

Genius Project Update #5

My update for April was very brief. I was trying to complete it minutes before the month of May ended, so I was under a bit of a crunch. It made me realize that it is much better for me to do these updates as early in the month as possible. If I work on…

Genius Project Update #2

I started off last month’s update saying that I was disappointed in my efforts for the Genius Project in January. I realized afterward that I was being a bit hard on myself. My goal was to spend a minimum of 30 hours a month on the Genius Project and any time I reach that target,…
