Anyone looking for quality time with me, is probably not going to find it by booking in advance. The nature of my prioritisation is that individual relationships will generally be on a lower rung than my other interests, so interruptions will occur. The only way to get guaranteed focus from me is by chance - you happen to have found me, or I informed you that I have no other business at the moment. And you get me for the moment. I can throw up schedules for people, but that isn't going to change my overall priority rubrick - unless I contract a period of time as an explicit top priority, it is probably going to be overridden if higher priorities turn up. That being said, I think I've managed to fully deliver on the time blocks of my appointments in December. There were a lot of social commitments. I have been planning to turn up for everything I signed up for. I may not be thinking about them keenly, but I will be present.

Risk-return calibration
Solo-ing concurrent complex projects is naturally associated with risks ... perhaps 30% of projects will have negative returns, the next 50% will cover the costs of the first 30%, and remaining 20% provide positive net margins. So it is naturally associated with complaints and a volatile schedule. This sort of lifestyle/career is not compatible with people who :
- don't like project failure, and want to push negatively returning projects to below 30%, and sometimes 0% of their portfolios ( most people I meet are in this category )
- want to see their breakeven point come from less than 80% of the bottom projects of their portfolio ( as above )
- don't want to complain daily
- don't want scheduling volatility
I think people who don't complain exhibit low intelligence - which isn't to say they are unintelligent, they may simply be introverted about their intellectual lives.
Projects types I am working on these days :
- social partners,
- charity cases
- manual skilling
- asset management
- technology R&D
- physical conditioning
- home economics
- business development
Anger Management
Figured out a nice summary to help us all understand how to deal with angry people. On the days they agree with this, we should be able to get along. On the days they disagree, they will probably not want to interact with me.
1. If I'm mad at you, it's my problem.
2. If you're mad at me, it's your problem.
That's all, really.
