A man spent years building a boat.
​
But he never sailed it.

When asked why, he said:
​
“I wasn’t building it to sail. I was building it to stay sane.”

Not everything we make has to be useful.
​
Some things just have to be ours.
​
It’s perfectly OK not to release your projects.
​
Some of my unpublished works:

• Manuscript on higher education that I wrote 20+ years ago
• My big band arrangement of the Haggadah that I didn’t love
• Dozens of children’s book half-drafts

What are some of yours?

⚡️ Productivity

​Angry Email Translator turns a hostile message into a calm, professional reply. Paste the email, set the tone, and get draft with subject line, and suggested next steps. Useful when your first instinct is to type fast.

​

💰 Wealth

The Sleep-at-Night Test. Money is only useful if you can sleep. Rate each income source and investment by how it affects your sleep, health, and attention. Prefer predictable cash flow over drama. Diversify so one problem never sinks you. Automate savings so decisions happen while you’re off the clock. Hold a cash buffer that covers true needs, not hopes. Wealth that lets you rest is worth more than yield that keeps you wired.

​

🎵 Music

​Things Fall Apart by The Roots blends live-band hip-hop with soul and jazz textures. Start with “The Next Movement” for momentum, then “You Got Me” for the Badu-Questlove axis. It’s a 1999 landmark that still sounds fresh, a blueprint for thoughtful rap.

​

📚 Books

​The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow shows how chance shapes courts, careers, and everyday judgments. Clear, story-driven, and practical for spotting noise vs signal.
