Book cover for The One-Number Budget: Why Traditional Budgets Fail and What to Do About It
The problem with snapshots is that they only mark one moment in time, and there’s always an outlier expense that throws the whole thing for a loop. This isn’t your fault. It’s just how life works.

“It tells us that all is not as it seems and that everything we experience is but a filtered version of everything that we could experience.”
Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

“This isn't the ending I dreamed of, sure. But when you realize failing doesn't make you a failure, you give yourself permission to try all sorts of things.”
Lauren Fleshman, Good for a Girl: A Woman Running in a Man's World

Ed Yong
“The majesty of nature is not restricted to canyons and mountains. It can be found in the wilds of perception--the sensory spaces that lie outside our Umwelt and within those of other animals. To perceive the world through other senses is to find splendor in familiarity and the sacred in the mundane. Wonders exist in a backyard garden, where bees take the measure of a flower’s electric fields, leafhoppers send vibrational melodies through the stems of plants, and birds behold the hidden palates of rurples and grurples...Wilderness is not distant. We are continually immersed in it. It is there for us to imagine, to savor and to protect.”
Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

Tiago Forte
“Anything you might want to accomplish—executing a project at work, getting a new job, learning a new skill, starting a business—requires finding and putting to use the right information. Your professional success and quality of life depend directly on your ability to manage information effectively. According to the New York Times, the average person’s daily consumption of information now adds up to a remarkable 34 gigabytes.1 A separate study cited by the Times estimates that we consume the equivalent of 174 full newspapers’ worth of content each and every day, five times higher than in 1986.2 Instead of empowering us, this deluge of information often overwhelms us. Information Overload has become Information Exhaustion, taxing our mental resources and leaving us constantly anxious that we’re forgetting something.”
Tiago Forte, Building a Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential

“Positive body image isn’t believing your body looks good; it is knowing your body is good, regardless of how it looks.”
Lexie Kite, More Than A Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament
