PRACTICAL TIPS TO AN EFFECTIVE 1-YEAR BIBLE READING PLAN!
My dm has been, over the period, flooded with questions on how to be consistent and effective in the 1-year Bible reading plan.
So in my first thread in 2021, I thought it'd be a blessing to give this guide.

Find a quiet and distraction free location for your reading. It’s nice to have a comfy spot that is well lit.
You need to be comfortable when reading, else your attention will easily drift to the discomfort. You don't need to sweat whiles reading too.
Try to schedule your reading at the same time everyday. Another effective strategy is to break it into 2 parts in the day; morning and night.
For instance,
A. Morning reading - New Testament
B. Night reading - Old Testament
Enlist the help of a friend or digital reminder. A partner will keep you accountable by reminding you to read.
A friend is more appropriate because they allow you to discuss what you are reading. It's a fun way to share your insights.
Don’t get discouraged if you get behind. Start each week on schedule and caught up. You can also use the weekends to complete missed dates during the week.
There are days you may miss because of your schedule for the day, be diligent to catch up later.
Allow additional time after each reading for reflection, prayers and journaling. This is where the relationship and knowledge grows!
Remember, this is a reading plan and not a study plan. But when you meditate and write, you're setting yourself up...
Also, pray before and after reading. It helps to open and consecrate, respectively, what you read in your Spirit.

OK I am going to be tackling this as surveillance/open source intel gathering exercise, because that is my background. I blew away 3 years of my life doing site acquisition/reconnaissance for a certain industry that shall remain unnamed and believe there is significant carryover.
This is NOT going to be zillow "here is how to google school districts and find walmart" we are not concerned with this malarkey, we are homeschooling and planting victory gardens and having gigantic happy families.
With that said, for my frog and frog-adjacent bros and sisters:
CHOICE SITES:
Zillow is obvious one, but there are many good sites like Billy Land, Classic Country Land, Landwatch, etc. and many of these specialize in owner financing (more on that later.) Do NOT treat these as authoritative sources - trust plat maps and parcel viewers.
TARGET IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION:
Okay, everyone knows how to google "raw land in x state" but there are other resources out there, including state Departments of Natural Resources, foreclosure auctions, etc. Finding the land you like is the easy part. Let's do a case study.
I'm going to target using an "off-grid but not" algorithm. This is a good piece in my book - middle of nowhere but still trekkable to civilization.
Note: visible power, power/fiber pedestal, utility corridor, nearby commercial enterprise(s), and utility pole shadows visible.
If I did thred on finding/acquiring decent raw land would that be something pepo are interested in

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
