Introducing Adulting 101

While most of the content on this blog is geared toward all ages and all audiences, I have  stated numerous times that this blog is geared toward young professionals. I was thinking about this on the elliptical this morning and realizing... hey, there's really not a ton of content on here for that very specific audience.

Time to change that!



Introducing Adulting 101: a series of very specific posts actually directed and young folks just coming out of college and starting life on their own. We'll talk about stuff that school doesn't teach you but is arguably more important than 90% of the things you learned in school.

Topics are going to range widely from anything to finances to chores around the house. I hope you young professionals like me find these posts to be very practical and helpful. If there's something you want me to cover specifically, let me know! Even if I don't know it myself, I'm glad to learn for both my benefit and your benefit.

Be on the lookout for these posts coming soon!

About LYEATT

This is my third attempt at starting a blog like this. Each other time I started, I was so concerned about views. How many people read what I wrote? Did anybody express appreciation over it? Did anybody have any other thoughts to share about it? The truth is, I heard nothing. Seemingly nobody cared! Although… I should say that really didn’t give either much to gain traction. Each maybe had three or four posts before my self-consciousness got the better of me and shut them down. So why now? Why try again?

Key Competency #4: A Dash of "Not-Care-itude"

As an avid listener of The Tim Ferriss Show  podcast, I listened to a recently uploaded episode complementary to his new book Tools of Titans (review incoming) that covered a number of tough questions he encouraged everybody to ask themselves. One of the questions he shared was, "How would you run your business if you were only allowed to work that business two hours a week?"

What My Wife Does Right

When I got married back in 2012, I didn't have a whole lot of involvement in the planning with the wedding. My wife, Maggie, took care of everything. It was one of those situations where I literally did nothing but show my happy little self up the day of the ceremony.  It's not that I refused help or was asked to stay out of it. My wife had it under control. More accurately, I wasn't needed. Photography: Free. Flowers: Also free. Church reservation: Yup, free. Super nice five-tier wedding cake: Well... you probably get the point by now. After all was said and done, I think she effectively got half the stuff for the wedding for free. The most amazing part: she never even asked for these free things . These people willingly volunteered their time and resources. Of course, you don't just wake up one morning with a group of people willing to do amazing things for you at the drop of a hat. This took my wife her entire life to build toward, and it's ...

More than Just Lipstick on a Pig

A model passionately talking about her favorite make up in front of a white background. A group of friends laughing while taking a drink out of an ice cold bottle of Coca Cola. A sleek car gliding across a barren highway. If you’re like me, these are probably the sorts of images you think about when you hear the term “marketing”. It’s not an incorrect thought, by any means. These advertisements are a means of getting a product out into the market, so I’d be wrong if I tried telling you this isn’t marketing. But is this really all there is to marketing?

No Man's Sky

If you haven’t heard about No Man’s Sky, take a break from here and go watch any of the plethora of YouTube videos about it. Reviews of the game have not been kind, and frankly, I can’t blame them. From a gameplay perspective, it truly is a pretty repetitive game. At the time of this writing, I still haven’t finished the game, but I honestly can’t say I’ve found any of the story to be all that exciting either. Inventory management is a pain in the neck, and trying to manage recipes is just downright frustrating. Yet I love this game.
