Dan Bailey July was a super-productive month where the 101 Things in 1001 Days was concerned. Given that the the finish line is in late September of next year, that’s a good thing. This month, I wanted to keep crushing it, so I made it my only focus, without getting stupid about letting other things fall by … Read more
Eddy had been patiently awaiting a trip to Florida for some time, and this year was finally his year. The primary focus was to tour Kennedy Space Center and see a launch, and given that I gave us extra time down there, just in case of a delay in the launch, we had some extra … Read more
I had originally planned on getting this written on July 1, but with the way the month started off, I didn’t get to it until the 5th. Fortunately, it didn’t have an impact on my productivity. In the interest of saving my sanity, I only had two serious goals for the month, and if I’m … Read more

With the house closing and the big move already scheduled for April, getting all that done was first and foremost on my list. Anything else was going to be just extra icing on the cake. My goals were: Finish the Move Without Dying This was a success. Didi and I loaded up our cars on … Read more
I’m a little late in posting this, but that’s because there’s a lot going on here, mostly related to item #2 below in the Completed section. Completed 2. Buy a house! For the story, you can read my post from February re: productivity/accomplishments. That said, we’ve got a closing date set for April, and we’re … Read more
February was nuts. At first glance, March wasn’t going to be much better. With the impending move and the ongoing job hunt, a shit-ton of projects, and a desire to get back to working out, March turned out to be way worse than February. My planned “big tasks” were: Get Ready to Move Man, we … Read more
I came into February expecting to be wildly unproductive with my brother’s passing at the end of January. That seems to have sparked a feeling of “I don’t have a lot of time left on the planet, let’s get shit done.” So I got shit done. My goals for the month were: Find a House … Read more
