The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers

I just finished reading the core of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. In terms of whether I’d recommend reading it or not, I’d give it a five or a six out of ten. The author just rubbed me up the wrong way and I’d much rather have read a condensed … Continue reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers

The Wedge and the Homeless Man Principle

Today’s post is another shining example of my sick drawing skills and links back to a couple of recent posts: “Does Game Work?” and Midwest’s “Indoor Daygame Guide Review.” Have a read of those before continuing here.

Big Sam, Arbitrage, Mean Reversion and First Mover Advantage

Today I was listening to a podcast about Sam Allardyce, or Big Sam as he’s known colloquially.

Daygame Dopamine Revisited (The Molecule of More)

A few years ago I wrote a series of posts about happiness hormones and how they affect Daygame. That was all based on an interesting book I read: Habits of a Happy Brain by Loretta Breuning. Recently a friend recommended another, similar book, to me: The Molecule of More by Daniel Lieberman and Michael Long. … Continue reading Daygame Dopamine Revisited (The Molecule of More)
