  • 2017-11-18 The Trick is in Knowing What You Want

    It’s the start of the day. I just woke up at 9AM and that feels pretty good. I almost hit 8 hours of sleep and that feels pretty good too. My kids are still sleeping and the house is very quiet. What I have before me is an entire Saturday with no plans or obligations.…

    Yesterday I woke up uninspired and unmotivated and today I woke up energized and ready to take on the world. I could spend a while pontificating on why that is but I might not get very far. I had relatively the same amount of sleep. I Went to bed at the roughly the same time.…

    The entire day yesterday was a challenge. Everything from going through our daily routine to trying to get some exercise despite feeling like the gum on the bottom of someone’s shoe.

    It’s Tuesday and this morning I woke up at 4:30AM, by my own choosing, and got my grocery shopping for the week done and was back home in time to wake Z up for school at 6AM. There’s a chapter in a book I was flipping through, “The Four Hour Body”, which talks about sleep…
