As a writing pad, it’s a perfect set of functions and is the origin device of all my ideas.
The first time was to launch my on consulting in a new city (Denver). I networked a ton and learned new technologies for 6 months. It yielded me the largest fee I've ever secured.
The second time I took 7 months off (once again after moving to a new city). I traveled to Singapore, the Netherlands, and Korea (twice). I was in different states visiting friends 2-3 weekends a month.
Both instances were incredibly fruitful. I got into incredible shape (I worked with two trainers, 5x per week) and inhaled books (fiction and business). These stretches are the best investment I've made in myself.

Goverment’s second rule: “but if you create 5 workers that we can tax, we’ll give you a discount”
I don’t find this particularly offensive. Incentives are the only way a government can influence the market without owning industries outright.
In the evening I hit up a brewery with live music. In the morning i biked to delicious breakfast joints. In the middle of the day I journaled and coded to chill music for long stretches. Got inspired on day two late in the evening.
Effectively changed my surroundings to bias my mind.
It lets you run cashflow calculation on the go, and provides numeric keyboard since I hate typing in numbers on the full alphanumeric one.
Launched 2 weeks ago and tweaking adwords campaign. I plan on turning it into a Progressive Web App, then add persistence using AWS Lambda and RDS.
