❓ What should I do:
- While working to finish up the ebook "The Macronutrient Guide to the Carnivore Diet" (coming your way soon...) I was wondering what I should tackle next? I was going to expand on the "Evidence for a Meat-based Diet," but maybe I should just keep this as is and move on to
sustainability, which was going to be my next major undertaking? Would love your thoughts.

📘 What you shouldn't read:
- This is a trap I'm always on the lookout for. Because I easily fall into it. It's like a fly trap for Type A personalities. A perfect example from my life is music. I wanted to learn how to make it. So last year I took numerous online courses, watched countless YouTube tutorials, read several books. By the end of the year I had over 400 pages of notes on songwriting. But not one song. I fell into the trap of mistaking learning for doing. I was reminded of this when I read this post. But you shouldn't read it. You should just Do The Thing.
- That's why I decided my 2020 Challenge was going to be to write 1 song/month. I needed a "finishing" goal. While "activity" goals can be great, especially at creating habits, like my 2019 Challenge which was to practice drawing at least 5
minutes a day / 5 days a week, when it comes to outcome driven goals, I think it's critically important to get clear on what you are really trying to do. And then do it.

👩🏫 What is coming to an end (for now):
- Many parents / children got their 1st taste of homeschooling this year, many of which are rejoicing that it's coming to an end with summer vacation. As a bystander that got to witness many of the challenges firsthand (my girlfriend balancing a career and her 2nd grade son), I found this twitter thread on homeschooling quite interesting.

3️⃣ What 3 questions determine if your relationship will last:
-
A dating app called OKCupid studied their users and discovered three questions that predicted the long-term success of a relationship:
-
-
Do you like horror movies?
-
Have you ever traveled alone in another country?
-
Wouldn't it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat?
-
If two people answered all three questions the same they can go ahead and tie-the-knot.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement...To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble."

💲 What I couldn't wrap my head around:
|
🛹 What flipped 3 times:
- More than 20 years ago Tony Hawk completed the first 900-degree skateboarding turn. That's two-and-a-half 360 degree rotations. But 3 full spins, a 1080, that was considered impossible. Until 11-year-old Gui Khury nailed it.

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
