How to Create More Freedom with a Portfolio Career. [ Money Flamingo] — “Designing a portfolio career is really not much different from creating an investment portfolio.

Give yourself the first hour. [Money and Meaning] — “Here’s my prescription to the attentional dis-ease we all suffer from in capitalism: Spend time outside the demands of everyone and everything else. Have one hour in the morning that is solely yours. Before you read the news, look at your phone, or read your email, just be no one/yourself. Before anyone else gets your attention, luxuriate in an hour of time before anyone else knows you exist. Delight in your own enoughness.” (Submitted by J. D. Roth.)
Inflation: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO). [Last Week Tonight] — “John Oliver discusses what causes inflation, what we’ve done about the current round of it, and, of course, makes the smartest investment of all time.” (Submitted by Harlan.)
