99 Problems

When I moved out of my parents place, I wish I had a kit of do’s and don’t’s

Like, invest in a good set of frying pans instead of that collection of medieval-styled incense holders.

Sleep Aid Kit

It’s cool to have a sleep tracker, but if I’m investing in my sleep, I want a whole kit, that provides guided meditations, supplements, sleep trackers with active feedback. It progressively tries new methods until we find something that is effective. Could be a base fee for equipment, plus a subscription fee for the monitoring/new supplements. I don’t care, just save my sleep!

Small talk

It really doesn’t build a connection. I want a list that I internalize of ways to redirect a conversation with anyone into a meaningful talk, even if it’s 30 seconds or less in an elevator.

Elevators would be so much cooler

If they were called levitators.

Late afternoon burnout

Phone basket

Everybody Carey’s a personal shopping cart in their pocket but few retailers capitalize on it.

There needs to be a password alternative

I love the fingerprint access on my phone. There needs to be a reliable method similar to that for all of my accounts. Using secure passwords is really annoying.

No Simple FTP Malware Removal Scanner/Tool

Like your pc Antivirus.

This site and everything else in my network being brutalized by malware

WordPress, you have failed me. Host Gator, you have failed me. SiteLock, why are you even in my life, no one invited you! You’re a ripoff and a mediocre service.

Without my permission or even notifying me.

People Who Don’t Share My Enthusiasm

This is a repeat, but it’s so discouraging when you work on a project with people who don’t share your enthusiasm. It’s almost impossible to do something completely alone, but sometimes it seems even harder to find a partner that can match your desire to create something amazing.

I’m starting to learn that I would rather have a partner with few skills and immense enthusiasm, than a partner with great skills, but no emotional investment. Too many times I’ve had to dance around a business partner like a circus monkey, hoping to keep their interest as if I need to win them over. They’re not the ones that require my energy, the idea is.

Poor sleep quality

It’s hard to sleep well, and it seems like nothing I try improves that quality.

Getting too excited over a new idea

It’s tempting to jump straight into a new idea or business project. But it’s also the honeymoon period. It takes self control to not dive right in, only to realize that you’re in a pool with no water.

Too Much Stuff

At what point does your stuff begin to own you?

Fight Club – “You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you’re satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you’ve got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you’re trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.”

Too much stuff. What do I actually need, and how do I find a standard measure for the things I need?
