Needles from the Haystack #16 – 02/2019
Hey There,
It’s already been a month into 2019.
Writing it out makes it feel kinda fast. How does it feel reading it?
This month, it’s all readables.
I read more when it’s cold outside. Plus there was a lot of good stuff!
I really dig the standard diagnostics approach by Tynan when not feeling to well with how and what I’m doing. It applies more often, than I would have thought. Give it a go, it won’t harm nor cost you.
Cheers,
Stefan

You’ll be surprised how simply „complex“ problems can be solved this way.

How I Manage Money – Tynan
This is a two – part post.
Part 1 is about Tynan’s general mindset about money and covers investing and spending.
Part 2 is specifically on spending money, which makes sense to get deeper into, as our spending is the thing we have most control over.
I really like Tynan’s approach towards money.
It might not be suited for everyone, but I got a lot out of it. Spending more in utility is a great thing to consider.
23 Things Artificially Intelligent Computers Can Do Better/Faster/Cheaper Than You Can – Seth Godin
The job landscape is already changing. In case you haven’t noticed it yet, you will soon.
Your job could become obsolete.
Just because you think „No way!“ doesn’t mean, that it won’t happen. Jobs are a lot less complex at you look at them from 20.000 feet above instead from actually doing them!
Here’s a brief summary of what AI can already do and how you should prepare for the inevitable.
