@nntaleb Good idea even for the self employed. Work is going very well, and I have several great clients, but I can see the day I will leave this industry. Writing a 'retiring' email (probably in Word, so I don't accidentally send it) would be freeing. Make that day a little more real.

@nntaleb @dvassallo loves this idea :)

@nntaleb Do something in life that you choose to do

@nntaleb He’s got a lot of interesting stuff to say but sadly his ego is fragile af. I got blocked for having the slightest disagreement. Ironic and a shame, cos I enjoyed reading Antifragile.

@nntaleb @nntaleb has the most munchable cheeks I've seen in an adult.

@nntaleb I practice saying "I quit" as I walk into the office every day. It's a great feeling knowing that I can quit when I need to.

@nntaleb On your advice I've done this in the past. The feeling on self determination is.. freeing

@nntaleb 🤔but he works for himself😎

@nntaleb I imagine that the underlying "plan B" needs to be fully ready to go for this to have a meaningful difference. I wonder if others have tried this on writing out the gesture alone and feel some benefit ongoing?

@nntaleb Backing out of distance from dangerous Cock Kickers around The Office is actually probably fairly intelligent @tferriss, good to be always be prepared
