What I'm Doing Right Now

What I'm Doing Right Now

This is my "Now" page. I got this idea from Derek Sivers. Most websites have an "about" page, but it is static and shouldn't really change often. The now page is the opposite... it is dynamic, updated frequently, and more about what I'm doing, learning or working on at this moment.

Current Location:

  • Orange County, California. Started a new project in Southern California in July of 2026. I love it here... sunshine and beaches.

Thinking About:

  • The more I've thought about it, the more I've come to realize that I've confused consuming media with learning. I've gotten very good at taking information in. What I haven't been nearly as deliberate about is creating the space to process it and put it into action. My plan is posted here.

What I'm Reading

  • Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke
  • Good decisions don't yield good outcomes every time. This is especially true in my line of work. This is a great book to look at the components of a good decision and avoid "resulting"... allowing bias into your process based upon the outcome. Much of this is transferrable to risk management. Stay tuned for a post on this in the near future.

What I'm Learning

  • How to run. I'm a horrible runner but I keep working on it. Have been focused on running efficiency... how can I sustain my pace and distance with minimum energy output.
  • How to slow down. Ironically, I have been running fast paced projects in a sustained manner across the globe for a year now and slowing down to recharge is an art I am learning. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do but learning the power of just slowing down to recharge is needed to sustain the fast pace... so I guess running efficiency is transferable to project management.
