7PS: Ripen, Then Release 🍁


Read time: 1 minute, 393 words.

A farmer once told his grandson,
​
"You plant in spring, water in summer, and harvest in autumn.
​
But you never tug a mango down. When it's ready, it falls."

As the leaves change and the season turns, October reminds us:
​
Some things ripen in their own time.
​
You do the work. Then you let go.
​
I've been making music all year.

When a project comes out, I try to detach:

Let the music find its own audience in time.
​
And if there's no audience, that's OK too.
​
What work do you detach from?

πŸ’Ό Portfolio Career
​
​
Meet Michael Des Barres. He fronted glam-rock bands Silverhead and Detective, then stepped in for Robert Palmer to sing with The Power Station at Live Aid. He's an actor with decades of TV and film credits. Working life that toggles between stages and sets shows how one craft fuels another.

​

⚑️ Productivity
​
​
​Abridge records medical visits and turns conversations into clear summaries. Capture meds, dosages, and follow-ups without scrambling for notes. It’s consumer-friendly, private by design, and helps you leave appointments with an action list.

​

πŸ’° Wealth
​
​
​The Reverse Budget. Decide your savings number first, then force life to fit. Pick a fixed percentage, automate transfers on payday, and route bills from what remains. Review quarterly to adjust housing, subscriptions, and "sometimes" spending. The win is structural. You remove willpower, build margins every month. Freedom grows from the gap between what you make & what you keep.

​

🎡 Music
​
​
​The Doors by The Doors crackles with danger and invention. Ray Manzarek’s organ lines carry "Break On Through," while "Light My Fire" stretches into a hypnotic solo section. Morrison’s baritone is theatrical without drowning the band.
​

πŸ“š Books
​
​
​Data Scientists at Work by Sebastian Gutierrez collects interviews with practitioners who built the field. Clear questions, shop-floor stories, and practical lessons on experimentation, metrics, and messy data. How people reason with evidence.

​

🧠 AI Prompt
