Hitting Inbox 0 for the Very First Time

It was a first – and as the book suggests – it’s a powerful feeling, albeit a funny one. I would compare it to the feeling you get acquainting yourself with an unfamiliar, open wall after finally dismounting the painting from your living room that had been a 5-year long eyesore.

That wall is awfully… white? Should I paint it?

His system to manage the “bits” is simple and effective, as it should be.
