The GAS Method, explained


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.

But today I'll reveal what it stands for.

If I can get this down for myself, I know it will take a lot of stress out of my content creation.

I can just feel it.

Gauge the work.

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 time it happened.

Gauging the work involves picking a pace that's sustainable.

Accelerate for a time.

Working at pace ensures you don't get behind.

But if you stop, there's no buffer.

So for a while, I'll work more to get that buffer.

Schedule ahead.

With the extra content ready, it gets scheduled.

This takes the hurry-up out of my content creation.

Or, if I need a day off for whatever reason, my content is ready.

I'm working to get there.

And you can too!

Let's grow and scale together!

Howdy Reader! A lot of my activities are, and have been, cheap hits of dopamine. I'm actively culling some of these activities from my routine. Online poker is one of them. I cashed out this week. What to replace these with, though? For my latest trick, I'm turning to Reddit. Yeah, Dopamine Central. 130,000+ active subreddits and counting. A never-ending dynamic supply of questions to answer. Turns out, helping people gives me a dopamine hit. And if done properly, it can be very profitable. A...

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. Five years I played, sometimes several...

Howdy Reader! I don't understand scammers. Last night I had to block and report someone on Instagram who was impersonating another creator I know. I asked a question that only the real person would know, and they didn't answer it. So I blocked them and reported them. This wasn't the first time I'd done this. Some time ago, I did the same thing to another person. Except he had at least three profiles with different misspellings of another creator. It took me longer to catch on that he wasn't...
