Howdy Reader! One of my recent reads is Greg McKeown's Essentialism. Its subtitle is "The Disciplined Pursuit of Less." I've had too many things going on for too long. And it's cost me. Less spent on servicesI just canceled or downgraded some of my online tools to the tune of $42/month. More will follow when I get a cancellation window. But for now, that's $42/month I don't need to bring in to break even. Fewer conceptsI had been calling this newsletter Solid Cash Tips. I've dropped the header image at the top of this email.

Howdy Reader! Cashing out on online poker helped me to start a bit earlier last night. Still have more things to fix, but one at a time. 🤣 The GAS Method. A few weeks ago I teased The GAS Method.

I want to maintain consistency in what I produce. I've failed at this too many times, and it's knocked the wind out each...
Howdy Reader! I picked up online poker at the start of the pandemic. I had played (free) Zynga Poker on Facebook, and thought that I was good enough at that to profit in online cash games. What I didn’t know at the time was that people play a lot differently if there’s real money on the line. It doesn’t matter that the “real money” was only a $0.25 buy-in to a six-person knockout tournament. So I learned on weekly freeroll tournaments and micro-stakes.
