Starting your investing journey
I've been thinking about this for the last bit What would be the first three things I would tell someone starting their finamcial investing journey to do? I came up with. 1. Get to understand your financial picture. What income, expenses, debts, benefits do you have? 2. Why are you investing? What's your goal or goals? 3. Are you leaving money on the table now? Either free money or money you are spending on stuff that you do not need or are not enjoying? Any other thoughts? Anyone want to have an investing chat?

@Jason Munroe Jan 2026 i started having check-ins with my partner where we at least sync our calendars. Its been helpful for accountability. I find I can make systems that are helpful but often struggle with consistency. Im realizing a missing piece is including family, friends and community in helping with my consistency instead of trying to do everything on my own. There is a balance
Some thoughts on the benefits of community
Some the reasons community is very important to me - It prevents us from taking our narrative as truth - Gives us reassurance from bad actors - Can help keep us from overthinking - Helps us consider things we would have missed What are things you think are valuable?

Tbh. If it wasnt for community I probably wouldnt be here or have the desire to be. Because of those before me and those after me I have an obligation to support community. This past year, i realized that this view of mine needs to be altered because in its current form, its not health. Im realizing I often have not seen myself as part of "community" and worthy of help and assistance in the same way I see others as worthy of help and assistance. And im learning that i often give to community (energy, money, time etc). Im starting to build better boundaries and starting to see value beyond "what i do" and the importance on being on the planet also for my own enjoyment and learn to ask and accept help... But it feels very foreign and very much easier said than done and is a huge reason why this feels (but isnt actually) a season of my villan arc. As an aside for anime fans. Im watching Avatar The last Airbender and I'm really identifying with Prince Zuko (a villian with a redemptive arc), which im finding quite interesting...

@Jason Munroe lol I love Uncle Iroh! I actually started following an Instagram page that just has quotes from him. I want to be like him and in many ways I see the progression towards that but like Zuko im still figuring out what to do with the rage and this unquenchable drive to be better. Im also trying to work through some faith stuff and trying to see what salvageable. In my current rewatch the fire nation has a lot of parallels to Christianity for me. I feel similar to Prince Zuko who is starting to realize the harm that he and the fire nation has caused... And is in the process of figuring out what to do with it..
Environment 
Your brain reacts to what’s going on around you and your body is impacted by it physically. Your environment is made up of the physical space and the things around you. This isn’t about being “neat” in the sense that your parents, your former drill sergeant or picky roommate would approve of. 1. Your space should be cleaned regularly. The dust and dirt can have bad effects on your health. This doesn’t mean you need to go full “white glove” on your house but sweep the floor, clean your toilet and bathroom with the appropriate disinfectants and wipe down your cooking areas. If you have means to hire a cleaner there is no shame and I have had a few clients see the helpful results of having someone come in and do this work. It’s worth every penny. For me putting on my favorite music and getting to it is almost meditational.   2. Your space should inspire you or at least allow you to focus. At the very least It shouldn’t keep you from being able to work.  Art, toys, pictures of loved ones or favorite memories, plants, rugs, quotes, any of this can help.  3. Clutter. Remove it or place it  strategically. There is nothing wrong with holding on to things you need at hand. Anything else needs to go into some kind of out of sight storage if you are privileged to have that option. If not, you should try to organize it. Organization is not everyone's gift so you may need to pay someone to help you with it or find a community member who has this gift.  Any other thoughts on your environment? Also.. I am going to clean my office today.

Ive been working on similar things. I didnt realize how my physical space affects my mental space. More recently I feel like I just unlocked an ADHD hack. I'm not naturally a clean person. Started by using substances (cofee, weed, alcohol) that get me in the moment and music when I clean dishes and house. My brain now often doesn't need the substances because the music triggers the routine and enjoyment around cleaning. I have started to find it therapeutic too, like you Jason. I found that Im most successful in getting big tasks done if I start with a bunch of smaller tasks first (for the dopamine boosts), which builds momentum to get things done (this is opposite than most stuff Ive read on getting stuff done). For the last couple of months ive been using dishes as my dopamine ramp to get other things done. So far so good. Its a win-win.
