• Nope, not hoarding toilet paper. But I bought a bulk order of salmon roe this week (the "Keta" version). It's pretty much the only "vitamin" I take. And although it seems expensive, it's one of the best deals for omega-3s. For about $0.50/day you can get all the DHA/EPA you need in the best form (phospholipid) with the least amount of potential down sides (i.e. like if you were trying to get this much from fish oil pills, or far worse, plant-based sources of ALA which is poorly converted to DHA/EPA). 
  • NOTE: if you get these I recommend storing it in the freezer and just shoveling out a small spoonful everyday.

• Russ was many things, but I'd describe him as a great thinker. He was scheduled to give a TED Talk in 2005 which had to be canceled for health reasons. Luckily, he gave this talk in 1994. 

• The idea of the 2019 Challenge wasn't to stop drawing after the challenge was over. The goal was to move from conscious incompetence to conscious competence. Now my goal is to move to unconscious competence. I know this last step is when it gets fun. It's when you get the biggest rewards and the most enjoyment. It's when intuition takes over. But you 1st have to pay the price to move up the competence ladder. For me, I relate it to working out. As a noob it was a struggle to learn what lifts to do, how many reps and sets, and how to do them without hurting myself. I had to study, practice, and follow a program. But now after 20 years of working out I don't have to have a plan or program. I can walk into any gym in the world and know what to do. And it's fun. I love it. What started as "work" turned into a passion, something I look forward to doing every single day. (something I miss right now - but luckily I found a home solution that I'll be sharing with you soon :)  

🎼 What I'm still unconsciously incompetent at -

• Speaking of challenges, I'm now a 1/4 of the way through my 2020 Challenge (try to learn to make music, releasing at least 1 song/month). This week I released Song #3 - "Just One More"

• With making music I'm still very much between the bottom 2 rungs of the competence ladder, somewhere between unconscious incompetence (where I don't even recognize where I'm bad) and conscious incompetence. Hoping to move into conscious competence as quickly as possible to spare your ears 🙉

• I love ideas that "might not work." It often means you're in uncharted territory, trying something that's never been done before. It's why I'm intrigued by Quibi, a company betting on a new format of watching TV: mobile-only 8-10 minute shows. It might not work. Or it might be a gamechanger. Investors are betting on the latter, having already put nearly $2 billion into it...and it hasn't even launched yet. The TV watching app goes live this week, April 6th. And while I might not be tuning into the TV shows, I will be tuning in to see if it works.
