Keep iterating...

I kept working today and pushed two projects further: a fitness plan and a trading system. For fitness, I used a new prompt to build a dedicated Gem for exercise and fat loss. That is a big improvement over a long single chat, where context eventually gets lost, or a weaker general assistant. For trading, I looked at US stocks and crypto, discussing strategies, position sizes, and capital levels with AI. I also screened some coins I had considered using minimum criteria. I want a map rather than wander blindly.

I asked AI to help me record real trades and review decisions afterward, and I liked the result. I stayed deeply absorbed all day, but still have questions. A single question often changes shape at least three times. If I am designing a process for identifying value stocks, for example, I need to ask why each screening rule belongs in the first version, whether there is a better rule, how well it might work, and how I can avoid obvious traps.

After work I need moments when I let my mind go quiet. They often lead to a new insight, though not every idea is workable. I have heard one way of describing this as “alternating current,” as opposed to the “direct current” of focused thinking. Another analogy is bees and flies: be a bee when you know where you are going, and a fly willing to explore when you do not. I have a clearer sense of my values now, so I can try things without feeling too much inner conflict. The long-term possibilities seem worth the short-term challenges.
