London Mindsets
I was having a beer with another Daygamer a few days ago and he asked me what my mindsets were when I was out in London (emphasis on “my”). In the moment I started listing some and then boldly claimed I could list ten. So in a blatant rip-off of a recent podcast, here they … Continue reading London Mindsets

What a weird weekend I’ve had. On Saturday I was up early and raring to go, ready to meet Mr Rasputin and head out to the sunny streets of London; my first time in three weeks. I always find that something happens when I get back into Daygame; perhaps a little bit of excitement and … Continue reading 21/04/19
Reading The Rational Male
I’ve just completed my last swipe-left on the Kindle version of The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi; it was essential that I got the book in electronic format because then I could read it while sitting on the can at work. Now usually I only read ebooks while taking a dump but I was enjoying … Continue reading Reading The Rational Male

The first quarter of 2019 has come and gone and what did I think about it? I’ve had a handful of dates and a couple of lays from Daygame so the results are fine. In reality it’s this, the second quarter of any year, where you can rack up the results. My plan was one … Continue reading 01/04/19

Spring has rolled into summer and my brain is awash with thoughts just as the streets are right now. London fluctuates between floods of rain - hailstones today actually - and clear piercing skies. Add to that the wind and you’ve got a perfect storm brewing. The weather seems to have brought out more of … Continue reading 10/03/19
What Motivates Us? (Part Two) – The Issue of the Return to Nomalcy
This topic circled my head again today and leads on from part one (found here). I asked myself what motivated me, and I think I went very close to the crux of the matter: the coping mechanisms we develop as children carry out into adult life for better or for worse. Sometimes these coping mechanisms … Continue reading What Motivates Us? (Part Two) – The Issue of the Return to Nomalcy
What Motivates Us?
This question has circulated my head a few times in the past year. Why do we try to get better at Daygame? Whether that’s improving ratios, higher quality or just sheer number of lays. What motivates us to get more than last year? What’s the source of that motivation? To start with we have the … Continue reading What Motivates Us?
2019 Goals, Contradictory Aims, Newbie Lays and Notch-Hunger
I had two goals for 2018: 24 lays 50:1 approach to lay ratio As you can read here, I’m an abject failure. Boo hoo, woe is me! Just kidding, I’m awesome. The only time you lose is when you fail to learn. The problems I built into my 2018 goals were twofold: Contradictory aims Compliance … Continue reading 2019 Goals, Contradictory Aims, Newbie Lays and Notch-Hunger
