The Rules of Money, 2 of 7

Standard of Living and Quality of Life are not the same. Chase the latter and all will be well. Chase the former and it’s easy to get distracted from what is truly important.

Tools of Excellence

Regular readers will know that occasionally I have discussed what I believe to be a tool of excellence. Man is a tool maker. He searches out and he creates tools which reduce friction and fatigue in his life. In the past these have been sharpened flints, fire captured during a lightening storm and cooking pots for example. Now they might be a Swiss Army knife, a 2 by 2 matrix, an AI buddy.

The next in my Companion series will be The Seventy Tools of Excellence out on 1st January 2026. Meanwhile How to Beat ChatGPT and MEDS, a wellness strategy are out. Both are instant on kindle, budget priced and a fast no-nonsense read.

Goals

Need not wait until the 1 January. Draft a few now. Make them precise. Give them a timeline. Be honest with yourself; is that a goal you want or simply an expectation of others?

You have about a week before Christmas Craziness really takes off. Get those gaols precise, stripped back, time-driven and documented. Then on 1 January 2026 you’ll be ready to motor.
