The author, a husband and father of two young children, describes struggling with disrupted routines and unfocused free time after transitioning from a PhD student to a full-time employee and parent. He notes that this lack of structure has led to jumping between projects without completion or fully developing skills.", "body_md": "I somehow recently accidentally stumbled across the Pillars, Pipelines, and Vaults (PPV) system by August Bradley. In a nutshell, this system is a way to align your daily efforts to the pursuit of goals that contribute to core areas of your life (the pillars). As a husband and the father of a toddler and an infant, the free time that I previously had in excess has been scarce. My routines and schedules were extremely disrupted as I transitioned from my life as a PhD student to working a 9-5 and raising a family (my first child was born exactly one week after my dissertation defense). These routines never truly recovered. As a result, when I do come across some free time I find that I often don’t know what to do with it. I also am guilty of jumping from project to project without focus, leaving things half finished or skills incompletely developed.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pillars-pipelines-and-vaults-system-by-august-bradley", "canonical_source": "https://www.alexselimov.com/posts/ppv/", "published_at": "2025-09-24 01:22:45+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-23 08:34:55.662766+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": [], "entities": ["August Bradley"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pillars-pipelines-and-vaults-system-by-august-bradley", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pillars-pipelines-and-vaults-system-by-august-bradley.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pillars-pipelines-and-vaults-system-by-august-bradley.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/pillars-pipelines-and-vaults-system-by-august-bradley.jsonld"}}
