Monthly Cadence: "Administrative Reset"

 So for my overall business operations ... I am starting to experiment with this:

The last 5 days of every month / or 4 business days, are now scheduled for "administrative reset" ... that means that operational focus returns on a monthly basis to recalibrating / housekeeping all operations across all teams (including documentation) towards being optimally de-risked for forward activities on various terms: 

- next one month

- next one year

- beyond a year

Of course if we get done early, with monthly de-risking, then we'll just return focus to other activities. I expect some months the de-risking process could be over in half a day, but 4 business days (out of say 22?) is 18%, so it's a good ~20% time allocation for prioritising longer term operating priorities over shorter term ones.

Not Sonnet 43: A valuation model for relationships / partners (intimate, or otherwise)

 I was going to ask (a partner) in a long-winded way "why do you like me?" and came up with a description of how I model the valuation of relationships inside my head.

Here's an approach to the analysis of relationship utility, relative to the the universe of options available to the valuer:

Axis 1 : interactions

- (partner) is a good for conversations (sub-categories: types of verbal interactions)

- (partner) is good for cuddles (sub-categories: types of touchy interactions)

Axis 2 : emotional effect

Where "good / bad" could be analysed into effects on the nervous system, any / more than one of : calming / stimulating / motivating / exciting / boring / painful / dreary / depressing

Axis 3 : stack ranking

... and for each tuple of [1,2], a more detailed expansion could include benchmarking against a sample, so that you could reason about the traits of a partner as [1, 2, 3] tuples

Being able to turn on/off emo stuff means ... I guess, I speak on a rather broad spectrum of irony. Being campy is as fun as being direct?
