I’ve always been curious about math, but never so much that I actually wanted to fully learn and understand it. Looking at so many numbers makes me sleepy. So while I’m not certain the math is accurate, I love the sentiment behind a post I saw the other day, which also perfectly encapsulates my thinking behind this here blog.

DO NOTHING AT ALL

vs.

MAKING SMALL CONSISTENT EFFORTS:

(1.00)^365 = 1.00

(1.01)^365 = 37.7

Hard hat, lunch pail. One day at a time. Time to make the donuts. Keep on truckin’.

PS- The Elks National Memorial and Headquarters in Chicago’s Lincoln Park is free and totally worth a visit!
PPS- I’m so over squarespace for this here blog. While I like the look and connectivity of substack, it’s still someone else’s platform. I think I may spend winter migrating over to my own domain and dust off the ole Wordpress. But if anyone reading this has any other ideas, I’m all ears!
