Can You Build Your Thing on The Side With a 9 to 5 and Relax?

Aug 27, 2024 | medium.com | Eric Bowman

Can You Build Your Thing on The Side With a 9 to 5 and Relax? I’m a big fan of Cal Newport. I love his book Deep Work. I think it’s one of the most practical and applicable books for staying organized and being productive. I also love the idea of his shutdown ritual. However, I have some quarrels with it.

Aug 24, 2024 | medium.com | Eric Bowman

My 5 Favorite Rappers Right Now and WhyI consider myself a rap nerd. I’m a rap artist myself and I really care about the quality of the music as well as the substance and meaning behind it. What I’m into now I’d consider underground rap. They’re all independent for the most part. And I call them underground because when I mention these names to people it’s rare that they’re familiar with them, other than maybe one. I love big artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, NF, Logic, etc.
A Longboard Ride Turned Social Experiment

Aug 20, 2024 | medium.com | Eric Bowman

I took a longboard ride along a nature trail in a public park in southwest Michigan yesterday. My idea going into it was simple. Be somewhat active while enjoying the beautiful late summer weather. And also, to be friendly to other people. I’ve been pushing myself lately to level up my social confidence. One of the ways I’m doing this is by saying hi to strangers in public places. I started passing people on my ride and saying hello. A super quick “hi” or “how’s it going” as I’m passing them.

Aug 13, 2024 | medium.com | Eric Bowman

Finally, I Invested in My First Course, It Was Worth It For These ReasonsI told myself it was due to a lack of money. But that in itself is a cop-out. I was being a cheapskate. Because you can’t be afraid to spend money. You have to spend money to play the game. I was ready to play the game. I’ve heard the advice to invest in yourself floating around on Medium and other platforms for long enough. I’ve also heard counterarguments to it. I decided to take the leap and try it for myself.

The Biggest Limiting Factor With Building a Strong Identity For Yourself

Jul 24, 2024 | medium.com | Eric Bowman

Ever since we were kids we fill in the gaps of what we don't understand with narratives we make up. It's how we make sense of the world. For whatever we don't understand we create a model in our minds that glues the unknown with what we do know. It isn't necessarily right or wrong. And it doesn't mean we wholeheartedly believe what we make up all the time. But more or less we assume what we've created in our minds is what's taking place behind the scenes, and that's why things are the way they are.

Jul 17, 2024 | medium.com | Eric Bowman

I'm away from home. A family vacation for the 4th of July weekend. Everyone needs a little trip away from the usual now and then. But sometimes I have to convince myself it's worth it.
