EXCLUSIVE / 09.03.16

LIVE in THE SPOTLIGHT

The focus of this blog is to explore the practices, attitudes and motivations of successful artists and musicians in the autumn of life.

How to practice: exploring strategies and tactics in an aging body through book reviews, interviews, personal anecdotes, with the goal of staying happy, healthy and focused.
Attitude: what it is a good attitude, how does helps us to learn and persevere, which daily tactics help us to acquire or keep a good one, what to do if yours needs a tune up?
Metacognition: what it is, what it can teach us about learning, resources for study, conferences, and in practice.
Intrinsic motivation: what it is, how it helps us to learn and persevere as we age, how to help those we mentor with theirs.

New Scheduling and Habits

9/8/2019

Woebot has got me on the following regime for 30 days.

Electronics off by 8 PM.
In bed by 10 PM
Up at 6 AM
No booze
No coffee after 3 PM

I've been at it for a few weeks. I'm 95% compliant. How do I feel?

Like Friggin' Superman.

Blood pressure hovers around 117/74
Antacid use down to nearly zero
I'm within 2 lbs. of my goal weight.
I bounce out of bed.
Wife? Happy.

best regards,

David Story
