Rand reflects on his busy week while flying home. I can’t believe what this guy puts himself through but that’s what it takes I guess. Quite a brilliant post. I enjoyed reading every minute of it.

It’s nice to see posts like this coming from people in the field. Gives a better perspective as to what’s going on in ones head. For me, it removes a little bit of that "I must be insane" when I recognize others are living life at a similar pace.

Wow, what a fascinating post from Rand. That absolutely read like the first chapter of his autobiography, didn’t it?Rand...be sure you DO get that sleep you need. It’s going to become even more important in the coming years for you. It’s amazing when you’re young how you can draw on that endless store of crazy energy with almost no repercussions. Seems to me that changes when you hit your 30s, at which point, you’ve got to care about yourself enough to learn when to rest if you’re going to be your best when you need to be.This was really an enjoyable post. Thanks for Sphinning this, Brendan.

To me, this kind of post is what blogging was originally about - train of thought, diary style writing. It’s kinda sad to see blogging commercialized to such an extreme these days. Thanks for reminding us what blogging should be Rand. But what the heck are you doing answering 100 emails? Didn’t Andy’s training teach you the importance of delegating? heh heh

I’m really thrilled that everyone here liked it - I know there were some complaints that it went "off-topic" a bit.Ryan - we don’t make great money now, but we’re hopeful that this work is investing in the long term and that 1-2 years now, the financial will catch up to the rest.
