It’s weird how much of our lives are on autopilot routines, and when we make a lasting change, we wonder why we didn’t do that before? I’m really trying to autopilot more of my life lately, with less decisions. I stopped doing superior workouts (functional bodybuilding via Marcus Filly) that I paid a lot …
Thanksgiving and Update
How woefully unprepared and overconfident can one be before and during the Nanowrimo writing challenge? I think I answered it satisfactorily for myself. I was looking forward last week to updating you on my amazing progress, how it would be a close finish, and that I was barely on track to get my 50,000 word …
