What does your morning (routine) look like?

I've been accused of rising early enough to work a full day before most wake. I'll neither confirm nor deny these accusations. What I can tell you is: I'm usually up in the 4am hour. Depending on my schedule I either: [a] Work out - something I prefer to do in the late afternoon - but will never skip - so will push to early AM if my schedule dictates. [b] Usually and better: 1. Read to get my mind in the flow. 2. Write - for myself or work - though I'm not sure what the difference is. 3. Followed by the days most cognitive-heavy task.

THE MISSING PIECE

20/21

What’s something you have been doing wrong all your life until recently?

Not exercising when injured. Prior to the last year, every time I got hurt I would shut everything down. To rest and heal. This turns out to be a false approach. Injuries require blood flow to heal. Immobility restricts blood flow. Blood flows from movement. I no longer stop exercising when injured. I block the injured part to work differently. Around the injury. To get blood flow to the injury - consciously, carefully. It's an opportunity to work on other parts of my body and mind. h/t to the Bioneer for showing me the way.

How can you measure whether an idea is good or bad?

Through utility. Confirmed via testing. Actualized. Experimented. Lived. If value ripples back it was a good idea. If it doesn't... to the guillotine, and try again!
