In the early part of my career, I worked in the financial services industry. We talked a lot about investments. One of the fundamental principles with regard to investing is that you always want to consider the “return.” That means, what do you expect get back ? You weigh that against the cost of the investment to determine if it’s a smart move. This concept applies to all kinds of investments, big or small, financial or otherwise.

How’s week two of Dark Omicron January 2022? I’m back to a "taking it day by day" place. No sudden movements. No big plans. We’ll see what today brings. And, I’ll think about tomorrow…tomorrow.

Instead of identifying an end goal that I can check off or a destination I can reach to meet these commitments, I’m experimenting with the James Clear, Atomic Habits, approach.

“William Blake talked about the dark Satanic mills, these inhuman pieces of tangible capital. Intangible capital is in some ways about what makes us human. It’s about ideas, and it’s about relationships. It’s about expressiveness. Some people may ask whether we should we be making that the basis of the economy. But we would argue that this is actually making those things that matter to us as humans more central to our thriving.”.
