Foursight. You know those 4-box quadrant models consultants overcharge for? I made a little app to easily make one, and collect the ones I don’t want to forget. Which ones did I miss?
Cashkey. I made a new little app for fun. Cashkey is an easy way to visualize and share how money comes and where it goes. I made it because:
- Money is like water: it flows in and out of our lives. Many people don’t know how, though.
- Sankey diagrams are great for visualizing things that flow, but they’re not natively available in spreadsheets.
- Sankey-making apps like the awesome Sankeymatic still require math that’s easy to botch.
Try it and enjoy. Let me know what you think.
I’ve been preoccupied with how to make the most of what little time we get here in this life for as long as I can remember, and it’s only increased with age and brushes with illness. Over ten years ago, this Wait But Why piece by Tim Urban on visualizing the entirety of your life as a finite number of weeks (versus years or months) made a big impression on me.
A week is a short enough time to hold in your head, and long enough time for big things to happen. Then there are eras of your life that span collections of weeks.
