To be honest, I didn’t expect to continue this natural experiment beyond the first year, until COVID-19 isolated us and I just had to find out in what way would my Holiday Tau change?

Context
It’s the end of this first month of this second year experiment.

- Yesterday I reached out to the first phase of my LinkedIn network for answers about how well each was coping with the new realities at home and work.
- Today, I published a companion piece on Patreon and shared it on LinkedIn with tags.
Here’s a sample of it:
Reimagining Life and Work. Will COVID-19 Accelerate the 4th Industrial Revolution?
“Trying to push something out of your mind is a sure way to drain your willpower quickly. You’ll have greater wells of self-control when you face what’s going on and create some if/then strategies.”

Evidence
Zahnny, Zahnny, Zahnny what am I going to do with your Holiday Tau? I mean a closet, a museum, and sifting through artifacts. I kinda get it, but not enough to value it much today.
“2” Steve Zahn, 51: “Cleaning a closet can be more interesting than going to a museum. All the artifacts are specifically related to something you did in the past, even if that something is simply putting an item in a closet.” Scorpio
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Thanks, Steve. Being someone who relies on my intuition, thinking and perceptions your TauBit of Wisdom probably identifies one of my weaknesses as a writer — one I need to incorporate for articles on Patreon, my blog, in my books and shared on social media.

Okay, Aoki it seems like your Holiday Tau comes closed to what we identified as time-to-mastery once an offer had been accepted, an orientation completed, initial training and coaching initiated and for the newbie to contribute to the cause. It certainly underlines my frustrations with mastering WordPress and now Patreon.
“4” Steve Aoki, 41: “The more complicated a game is, the better off you’ll be when you understand every nuance of the rules. While it’s possible for a beginner to win a poker hand, the expert has the best chance at taking the night.” Sagittarius
I see how it is, Nash. You and Aoki sit in the locker room playing cards — poker — and listening to country music about when to hold them and when to fold them. Meanwhile Emma the Baroness and I have become the undisputed champions of jigsaw puzzles during this pandemic!
“4” Steve Nash, 45: “In cards and in life, much depend on the hand you’re dealt. If it’s crummy, you have to figure out other ways to play it. A bluff, a clever play, folding early and waiting for the next round… you’ll figure out the best move.” Aquarius

- Just picked up “Bob Dylan In America” by Sean Wilentz. Maybe because of the subliminal messaging like the times are a changing and the answer is blowing in the wind, but I kinda like Sean’s fanboy becomes music critic becomes historian surrounding Dylan’s life and times.
