Daily 5 Minute Journal July 16 2017

My last post was on April 30th, 2017 almost 2 1/2 months ago. I'm not sure why I haven't posted recently.

Some things to cover in this post:

  • Book Creator
  • Books I'm working on
  • Weight Loss
  • Kindle book
  • Work
  • Bulletproof Coffee
  • Twitter List
  • Lab visit with my son

Book Creator

I've been working on a tool I currently call Book Creator. I didn't specifically go to create it. It sort of happened in a bottoms up fashion like most of the things I do. 

Bottom's up vs. Top Down

I'm a bottoms-up type of person. I'm good at starting small and then improving something instead of planning out what I want and then fill in the details.

Book Creator is a tool that assists with creating a book using an FTAD (Finish Then Add Details) method. It is also embedded in the Listi.net list creation tool.

The tool allows me to easily write multiple non-fiction books that in theory are always ready for consumption. The book must be in the format of :

101 Ways to Get a Job.

Now, say if I only have 3 ways then the book title and content automatically adjusts. All ideas I have goes into a backlog and from there I can easily order or pick the idea to write on. Once I've finished the article or blog post I can add it to one or more of the books I'm working on. The book automatically adjusts:
  • The Cover Page increases to 102 Ways to Get a Job
  • The title on each page changes
  • The Table of contents is automatically updated
  • The footer on each page is automatically updated
  • The book can be easily converted to Microsoft Word format (this still needs some work)
This probably wasn't clear due to the Curse of Knowledge, so I'll  make a video to better explain this concept.

Below is an example page from the book.
