  • a Dell OptiPlex 5040 that I saved from the dumpster at work because I’m a cheapskate.

    You are absolutely not a cheapskate for doing that. That’s being resourceful. You save money that way and can put it towards other things that matter more. Nothing wrong with that. Why spend a few hundred dollars for a new laptop/desktop when you can just get one used that will run for another 2-4 years before it dies?














  • Take it or leave it insight: I have learned that procrastination can be chalked up to two things. 1. You don’t know where to start on said thing and perhaps feel overwhelmed by it. 2. You don’t know how to break down the objective into more manageable steps. And so you put it off ‘until you feel like you have a clue.’

    An old saying that strongly applies here. “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
