  • Depends on what job you’re in. If it’s highly technical and niche you’ll have an easier time finding a better job. A competitor recently tried to poach me for a 50% raise but I turned them down since they didn’t have hybrid work available. Sometimes it’s better to stick with a job that offers things you value more than money.














  • The easiest way to keep calories down is to meal plan with healthy ingredients. My usual routine that could be broken once in a while when I felt like it or went out was:

    Breakfast: one bowl of Cheerios/corn flakes or unsweetened oatmeal.

    Lunch: a large salad with whatever you want just not too much dressing (hint: using Tupperware to toss the salad lowers the amount of dressing you need) or tofu and broccoli sauteed in teriyaki sauce

    Snack: whatever you want just don’t go overboard with it

    Dinner: a protein bar or protein shake

    Combine that with 30 minutes cardio and another 30 of weight training five days a week.

    I personally lost around 10 pounds a month. It takes a lot of dedication to keep it up though but you can see results in about two months to keep you motivated. Frankly this only worked because I was an onsite employee the whole time, working remote gives way more temptation to eat.




  • No it’s not necessarily because of diabetes. It’s called Orthostatic Hypotension and it just means you have a temporary or chronic condition that relaxes your blood vessels too much so that more blood is in the lower half of your body than the upper half when sitting. When you stand up, there’s a drop in blood pressure that drains a little blood from your brain and causes you to get lightheaded or in more severe cases, faint. It’s a similar condition to what pilots get when they’re pulling high g turns that pools blood away from their head. An easy solution is to keep your blood pressure up by squeezing your bottom leg and butt muscles as you get up to keep blood in your head.
