My oldest saw: focus.

Hi Gordon,

Great post!

We (my family) have had bouts of flu-ey illnesses lately (it's winter downunder)! Man I wish I had some of your sunshine right now…

(Though I'm looking at your weather forecast and it's looking kinda humid…!)

I've started using a "calendar" for my "to do's"... I'm using Google Calendar and Google Tasks. If you have Google Tasks showing on your Google Calender, you can just "drag and drop" the task on to the calendar to schedule it, so easy! (I didn't know you could do this - I tried something similar in the past but by creating "events" - which is much more of a hassle and takes a lot longer too…)

The only drawback is each "task" defaults to half-an-hour - and you can't change it. But I think I can live with that.

I saw a guy (an "ADHD entrepreneur") who swore that just by using a calendar this way (rather than just a list "to do's") - your productivity will skyrocket… I guess I'll find out…

He uses the principle - do it now or schedule it... So when you have a task you need to do - either do it immediately, or schedule it on the calendar... I'm trying this method out now...

Best wishes,

Dien

Next month I launch a specialty forum focused on the lottery game, Pick 5 of 39 game only. Very niche, very focused. There are only 10 states that have this game and I will limit membership to 150 per state. It will be a very low cost monthly fee.

The PLAN is operate it through 2026, and IF I or a member has not won a jackpot, I will shut it down.

I'll be asking members to sign a digital NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) due to the proprietary information I share.

Now, as many of you know, I've been in the lottery gaming market for decades, and to me it looks a lot like mail order chain letters (still going under mlm guise), casino crypto; known as Gold or Sweeps coin, and many online gurui MMO things...they all sell HOPE to the masses, and often the most desperate and poorest too.

The new private members only forum will be memember driven content, as I will have a moderator from each state that posts their state's drawings.

Now in recent conversations, very recent, some folks are all over the place, worried about politics, war, or sports, or all kinds of things. Oddly, it is the lowest income population that is the most nervous.

The SECRET to making money is simple: focus time on things that make you money, then on things that money buys that produces more money.

In lottery play, 98% are scattered, hopeful, WISHFUL, almost begging their god for help type players and the states, knowing this are the most predatory operation ever created to extract their moolah from them.

My site is for the 2% who aren't dreaming about winning millions, but approach it as a hobby/investment seeking a substantial return on investment.

This is done with mostly math and a little magic (scrying).

From SowPub, to Warrior Forum, Facebook groups and the dozens of forums that have come and gone; I bear witness to the fact that too many would be money making programs are not suited to most people, BECAUSE, most of them are do what I did, get what I got sort of pipe dreams.

My intent is to get players who will FOCUS on intent, and stay with their plans of action, and develop winning habits.

Recently, I too have been TOO caught up in politics, sports, current events...I am guilty. I remember what my dad said in 1959 during the Presidential race;
ALL elected politicians are liars. Once elected, their job becomes staying in office and they will say and do anything to keep their jobs.

Also, as a lifetime Browns fan, I have accepted the idea they will never get to a superbowl in my lifetime, and more likely NEVER. So, I will claim back my time wasted in the coming season...maybe. HA! Fans can be fanatics.

So, what is your time FOCUSED on these days, this heat wave is knocking me down and keeping me in AC all day...I think I have a heat allergy.

Thank goodness I can play the lottery from the Lazy-Boy.

Now I've got some reels to watch, don't want to miss the latest dance craze do I?
