In this episode I share my thoughts after one week of my "Lifestyle Design Experiment" in which I observe the following daily practices:
1. Wake up at 4:30am
2. 15 minutes of meditation
3. 3 pages of journaling
4. 1 hour of exercise
5. 1 gallon of water
6. Write tomorrows task list before bed
7. No alcohol, cigarettes or recreational drugs
Observations:
- more steady energy
- great sleep
- extreme soreness
- great sense of well being
- great feeling of positive momentum
I get into a little more detail my approach to these practices, and utilizing the concept of focusing on systems not goals. I also wander into the topics of what's going on with Chalk Dinosaur, the new music on the horizon, and some general thoughts on making music.
