Introvert/Extrovert Evolutionary Theory

Graphic from lifehacker.com.au. This morning I had a thought as to why the current world as it is would be skewed in favour of the extroverted. Supposedly, though some people claim it’s 50/50, the world is about 75% extroverts, and 25% introverts. For this theory, I’m going on the basis of defining extroverts and introverts […]

Newborn Feeding Chart – Mark 3

The feeding chart, updated again. I’ve updated the feeding chart again, but I’m not entirely happy with it at the moment. I’ve made it so you can represent a lot of information about the feeds per day in a small area, and list 18 of them each day, with the ability to specify one or […]

Retiring by 40: Passive Income Development — Advantages

I did my SWOT analysis before, listed my challenges, and mentioned my goal here. As you see in the middle link above, I covered some of the challenges to retiring in the next year. (Keep in mind of course that that just means being financially free enough to do so if I wanted to – […]

Newborn Feeding Chart – Mark 2

The second version of the feeding chart. We found the first version of the feeding chart too limiting. We weren’t able to easily see how things were progressing daily, and trying to keep track of “outputs” was difficult to do, both from writing them down and from also counting. I changed the chart to better […]

Newborn Feeding Chart – Mark 1

A picture of the feeding chart. With the arrival of Maxwell, we’ve been attempting to keep track of his feedings. This involves keeping track of the start and end times of his feeds, the type of feeds, and his, shall we say, “outputs”. We’ve been doing mixed-feeding (breast and formula) which we plan to charge […]

Welcome Maxwell!

Welcome to the world young Master Maxwell! My beautiful & amazing wife with our son! After five days at St. Thomas’ Hospital across from Parliament/QE Tower/Big Ben (that’s a post in itself) young Master Maxwell is home with us. He’s been home now for a few days, but obviously with a newborn it’s a bit […]

Retiring by 40: Passive Income Development — Challenges

I did my SWOT analysis last night, and mentioned my goal here. There were a couple of things though that don’t represent weaknesses or threats that will be a challenge to developing passive income. These are the first few images for “passive income” on Google Images. Note that freedom is paramount in just about all […]

SWOT Analysis: Retirement by 40 — Passive Income Development

Really, who doesn’t like doing SWOT analyses? Image from wikipedia.org, retrieved via Google Images. A SWOT analysis is where you analyse the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats facing a business (or endeavour) to try and determine what steps can be taken to secure the best path forward. I’ll examine my attempt to retire by 40 […]

Retiring by 40: Passive Income Development

I’ve long thought that I wanted to retire by 40. Doesn’t this look idyllic? I think the hammock needs a pillow though. Picture from theuptown.ca, retrieved from Google Images. It seems to make sense. If I live the average lifespan, then retirement at 40 means that I get to live half my life being schooled […]
