Today my son is born. As I sit the waiting room, I ponder "How can I best serve the company?"

"Who the hell is Black labbath?" - my blind ass

I love coffee. I am a coffee snob. Instant coffee is easy to pack and travel with. If you have access to hot water it's still coffee which is better than nothing. If you don't have access to hot water then it's a tastier caffeine pill.

You can always reframe your goals and set reasonable expectations for yourself. People often use "It's a marathon, not a race" as a metaphor for achieving long term goals. I think this metaphor sucks because a marathon is still kind of a race. Achieving your goals is more like putting coins in a piggybank. You will only be able to put in so many coins each day. And some days you will have no coins to give. But that doesn't mean you didn't put any coins in yesterday nor that you won't put coins in tomorrow. Be kind to yourself and know that you will get there eventually. Growth is not about intensity, It's about consistency.

Stereotypical answer but I like to lift weights. Really any outlet that requires 100% mental focus is what helps me most.When I lift weights there is just me and the weight.No bad thoughts. You can't lift bad thoughts.
