Brainthrough Lazy Sunday #29 - Lazy par excellence

Today, is not your typical Brainthrough episode.

It is a Lazy Sunday par excellence. 🏖️ 

Let me tell you why:

For weeks, we have been planning to go somewhere over the weekend. Pack the kids, get some bags - off we go.

Every time there was something else planned, or business travel or just work with deadlines - all got stacked nicely every weekend. So for months we did not go anywhere.

Monday, we booked a weekend down the coast. My wife and I high-fived.

A couple of hours later, my son was down with an ear infection (these things come quickly!!).

On Tuesday night, my daughter started to get sick went down with a fever.

With all the caring and squeezing calls in-between, open-task-lists grew. When will I finish the newsletter for this week? I still need to get the legal contracts reviewed for Agentic. My wife will be speaking at conferences in Europe in September and November, she is prepping for. And we almost decided to skip this weekend again.

Then we stopped - hold on!

Nope, screw all of that. We are going!

Deadlines can wait until next week. You will miss the news about Figure-2 being released (these hands!!!), or the “homemade” integration of a cheap EEG device with ChatGPT to detect stress. But hey! Next week then.

Why do I bother telling you?

Well first, I am not letting down my streak of weekly newsletters!!! 😂

Secondly, sometimes you just need to let it all go.

And be comfortable with it.

I don’t really know when so many of us lost the clear demarcation of private time and work schedules. There must have been Covid or something.

Anyway, sometimes a Sunday is just that: a lazy Sunday.

Greetings from Mollymook - yeah, not sure who is responsible for naming places in Australia…really..

Next week, we got more stuff coming.

Have a great rest of the weekend.
