sacman08··on Ask HN: Are you preparing for a market crash? How?
Click titles, possibly? Last market dip was Mar 2020, before that was 2008. They talk about it all the time. Why is the market so high? my theory is lots of people on computers at home that have time and extra money to invest. What to do? Hold investments that you have and buy more when it drops. I made 14% last year from buying after the big dip in March.

Three things I always ask myself about any task: What am I doing that should not be done at all? What am I doing that someone else could do? What can only be done by me? Then do only things I can do.

sacman08··on Ask HN: How do you justify taking unpaid vacation as self employed?
It’s difficult. I had a job before where I could work from home and they told me it was only 40 hours a week but I really ended up working more like 70 hours. Also got calls over night and worked on holidays too. The best approach IMO would be to plan it six months or more out because it would give the customers time to know you will be take some time with plenty of notice. Then talk it up when you interact, not like a robot repeating I will be off during the week etc., rather talk about how you excited to get a chance to go visit whatever with the family.
