Day 25,
The Scanmarker came in today!!! It's kind of fun to use, but it's a skil. The first 2 hours were difficult and frustrating. But as I practiced, the scanner picked up more and more accurately.
I've scanned the quotes for two books tonight. I haven't read any new books (expected, but not fun). I need to get caught up on my physical books as soon as possible.
I'm throwing a big event tomorrow, but all the set up is done, which means that I will be doing some work tomorrow, but not a whole lot.
Day 26,
I finished that big event, so I can rest easy.
I used the Scan Marker to scan through 4/6 books I read. Now, the last two will be long and hard (lol)
I notice that I look great in the mirror; I justified buying DMSI because whenever I looked in the mirror, I felt that I looked ugly. That's good, but no one is making moves on me. Oh well...
Day 27,
I realize that I can start version B on Friday; hope it doesn't fuck me up too bad.
I will have a lot more free time than usual at work because my big event has been cleared up.
Finished scanning the notes I need for the remaining 2 books I read. They were the most difficult to go through because of their complexity. Daniel Kahneman is no walk in the park; sometimes a single page of his book (note: BOOK!) have 5-7 references.
Feeling emotional right now; this work project is digging out parts of myself. I'm trading my youth to create a work that I think will improve the lives of 100s, if not 1000s, of people. But, I don't know if it will have any effect at all; in other words, it feels like I am wasting time.
Why don't you use " A " for another 60days..Just to be sure and more deeper cleaning.
I mean what's the hurry?
............ BURN THE BLASPHEMER!!!!
lol yeah Zane; your position is too reasonable (no sarcasm; I'm in a hurry to get to 'B')
Day 28,
Challenge day 15, read 12 books and summarized. I should figure out a way to read 1.2 books a day so that I can get caught up after a little while lol.
Either way, if all works out, it will be 30 books in 33 days.
Day 29,
Challenge day 16, Read 13 books (Negotiating the Non-negotiable); it was rather devoid of useful content for my book.
On the other hand, the book I was attempting this morning, Linguistic Anthropology, was so useful that I'll have to chip away at it little by little while reading other books.
Day 30,
Challenge day 17, Read 14 books (+ 100 pages into a 350 page book).
I'm having thoughts of entrepreneurship (namely: how much do I need to make online to be able to justify moving to Montreal and living a more fun life?). Since my book project is shaping up, and I can probably outsource the final stages, I'll likely be able to finish before July 1st; IF I sprint hard after finishing my book list.
It's funny; during BASE, I was having LTU-style thoughts, but during DMSI, I'm having BASE-style thoughts.
The Scandal TV show is good; I watched some of it, but a lot of it is SJW style monologues.

Niagara area
Day 31 (listened to one loop A, one loop B),
Changing to 2 loops of B tomorrow.
Day 18 of '100 Day Challenge'; read 15 books. And, I'm over halfway through my 16th book. So, I could finish 17 books tomorrow.
Tomorrow, it will probably be 'Mistakes Were Made' or 'Folly of Fools'.
I went to bed with plenty of ideas for making money online (meaning that I won't need to live anywhere specific).
A couple of things that make decent money:
- Website tester (you need to create videos describing your experiences on a website):
https://www.usertesting.com/
- Transcriber: Some sites pay about 50$ per audio-hour, which means that you could use technology to do most of the work and then you listen to verify.
- Part-Time Book-keeping: this requires subscribing to a 1700$ program and spending 10 weeks on it. I'll consider doing this after doing enough of the previous two.
I looked into the transcribing a while ago and went looking for peoples experience, it seems more difficult than expected like some people weren't getting paid and it has to be done in a specific pedantic way. But it might be ok, you don't know unless you try. If you do i'd like to hear how you find it.
Yeah, I researched each of these money avenues and I slowly realized that they weren't as profitable as I realized... that brought about a feeling of dread, since I'll have to rely on more unreliable elements (direct sales from my products) to make this money.
