There's a few shops around here that you just pay an extra like 300 bucks + the cost of the board (so pricy) and you get to shape it with them and get a lesson. That's what I'll probably do when I can justify dropping a bit over 1k on a board haha

This is how it's been in almost every sport setting I've been in. Coaches (especially my college HC) demanded discipline and timeliness, and drove in the fear that "your opponent gets in early". And it unquestionably made us a better team, and made us hold each other accountable (you don't show up early for the coach, you do it for your teammates). Idk how those how who didn't play sports were taught this lesson, but idk where'd I'd be today if I hadn't played. And idk how a younger generation missed this message? Is youth athletic participation at a low point? Or did the coaches go soft?

Easiest way to reach a flow state...because you have almost no other options

I like the more obscure (at the time) guests he gets. Like having jocko on before anyone. Or more recently, that parenting psychologist I would have never heard of.

This has to happen and I'll definitely be waiting to watch. https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1881855487337218072?t=Faqar3uEk1UnK9dSxs_7pQ&s=09

Oh don't expect to scare anyone off it, it's doable and I also grew up there and got on fine, but the level of depression is so, so much less when I'm able to go outdoors, recreate and enjoy sunshine year-round. The indoor office > indoor gym > couch and TV life is not for me, and that's largely all anyone I grew up with does these days from November to April (apart from a trip here or there bar hopping on snowmobiles)

It's all fun until those winters with negative temps and no snow to make it fun hit you month after month (that, and the persistent darkness every waking hour spent outside of work for the entire winter). But at least there's copious amounts of alcohol to keep you warm and entertained!

The key for me was leaving all chargers outside of the room. It's usually dead and needs a charge at night so the only option is outside it. Also makes me physically get out of bed to stop my alarm, much less chance of snooze (tho sometimes it still gets me 🙈)

I do these internally now when I'm laying in bed and can't fall asleep, since my phone isn't nearby. Can vouch. (sometimes use a video to guide if it's for a mid day "nap" when I'm tired)

Ok said this once before but then never had time to actually do it. But now with mini apps and better LLMs, I think I'm gonna try to speed run this the new couple weeks with AI and see how much I can push it to do everything. (aka how close am I to being out of a job?)
