Learned Experience
Many things learned are useful in other aspects of life.
Recently, I have learned a lot about business taxes and now personal taxes are so much easier to tackle. And, reading the IRS publications aren't that bad anymore. Prior to doing all of the business taxes research, I thought the IRS website and publications were overly complicated. Now, I consider each pub to be light reading even though they are small font, three columns per page, and typically around 5-40 pages.
I feel good.

Structure Allows Spontaneity and Creativity
Having structure in your life allows you to worry less about the menial aspects of daily tasks. For example, you don't have to spend time thinking when you are going to do something if you already have a specific time for it. By not wasting any precious brain power on the menial tasks, it opens up space and time to use the brain for higher functionality.
My Two Cents.

ps - Originally not planned for this post, a great example of this concept being put into practice will come from Google. They do all the menial tasks for their employees, including food, laundry, baby sitting, gym, transportation, and more. This may seem like it costs a lot to have, but if you consider the well-being of the employees (less sick days) and while at work employees can put their full minds onto the work, rather than having any nagging sensation, like what/where to eat, how the kids are doing, or even transportation worries (Google shuttles/buses).

Thoughts I Think-Thank-Thunk
(See post for some new ideas, start with #3 of 11)
First one, subconsciously thought from The Grinch, maybe, "stink, stank, stunk".
Another title I was thinking of was, "Thinks I Thought" instead of "Thoughts I Think". In modern American language, this is okay, enough.
3. How bouncy would a bounce house be inside another bounce house?
3.1. How bouncy would a bounce be if you bounced inside a bounce house inside a bounce house...?

Topic: Sleeping
I consider sleeping a hobby.
Some people like to do it more than other and some don't like it all.
Me.
There are sooo many other exciting things I could be doing or learning. Sleep is at the bottom of the list of things that I want to do in my life.
Statistically, people will sleep one-third of their life away. I really would like 20-40 years extra to life the way I choose.
But, I guess science (and my body) says I have to...
For now...

ps - For now, I guess I could also just call it "meditating all night". It is possible to figure out problems and solutions when lying on a bed.

Stupidity Doesn't Mean Not Creative
"Stupidity" does not mean not creative. Intelligence-challenged (read: "dumb") individuals have the ability to uniquely think outside the box. They may be less knowledgeable about current paradigms (also read "facts") or they may not be limited by current paradigms at all. This leads to a different set of experiences for the individual to draw conclusions upon.
I bring this up [finally] because I like to think of all possible solutions and know how people think (Developers/Designs: Great for creating use-cases). Also, I believe creativity is very important in life. It helps us come up with solution to problems we've never seen before.
I have at least six other posts on creativity at the time of this writing.

Lease Renewal
Feels like I'm signing my life away to the apartment I'm staying at. One year is a very long time to have a housing lease, especially since I'm graduating in with my Computer Engineering Bachelors in May. There have been multiple job offers, but I'm still thinking of starting my own mobile app development business Simply Advanced, LLC, which I have already purchased. So, I guess a little structure in my life as I work on the business 120 hours a week might be a little good.

The Real Non-Fake Sky
Sometimes I think about how fake the sky looks, kinda like a great painting on canvas, but I always come to the realization that it is awesome that the sky is real and never ending; I'm not going to run into the sky like in The Truman Show.
