The best post here starts with a snooze button and asks what you actually do in the first ten minutes of a day. Shane sets it up as a joke and then makes a real point, which is that the day gets decided before you have spoken to anybody.
His most interesting thinking borrows from Benjamin Franklin. The mutual improvement club Franklin ran gets treated as a working model for a mastermind group, and the decision technique named after him gets applied to a marriage rather than to a purchase, which is a genuinely odd and useful idea.
He argues for collaboration over competition in online business and means it structurally, not as a nice sentiment.
There is a post about self help books saving his life, one about how hard finding money is when you are at home with a disability or on your own with children, and one addressed to somebody standing on a ledge.
Read the Franklin posts. They are unlike anything nearby.
