I recall a book that I read, Leadership Lessons of the US Marines I think it was, referenced the 60% solution. Basically they feel that once you have 60% of the information you have an actionable solution. Waiting any longer and the battlefield circumstances changes Have been interested to hear and read some of your time management comments, particularly about the less amount of data that you like to look at.

I'm learning a lot from you but I'm also pleased to discover there are other people with similar interests and thinking. I find that so few people put so much forethought in their decisions. It is amazing how much you analyze and use some sort of data in your choices--the way you chose your book cover for example. As you mentioned, that was a small sample, but an incredibly brilliant idea. You mentioned Jiu Jitsu. That is one of, if not my first, passions in life. Are you pretty serious about it--train often? With or without the gi? One of the best times of my life was a three week trip to Brazil just to train Jiu Jitsu during the Mundials. It was probably the most amazing experience of my life. Anyway, thanks for sharing in your blog. Chuck Hi Tim:

the amounts of research you must have gone through in 30 years sometimes seems baffling…just mentioned here was linguistics and just how you approach questions, wordage, references…i wonder how much of it you’ve just happened to learn or tackled with tenacity pre-book and purpose of life heh.

You might not have been doing this personally, but through other assistants. (its like an ant colony after a while I bet). Thanks Sean Tim, did you find that in the beginning you were feeling out individual AskSunday responders until you found one that you liked in particular, or a few?

You might not have been doing this personally, but through other assistants. (its like an ant colony after a while I bet).

Thanks
