Don’t Defer
Don’t defer the present moment to have more in the future!
I'm trying to be more “in the present” and grateful for the time we have been given. We are headed down to Patagonia to do a hike that we have been deferring for years. Today we are at a gorgeous waterfall near Pucon in Chile, it is a must see! Rainforest, skiing, waterfalls, and volcanos all within a few miles. What a beautiful countryside. I highly recommend taking a trip down here!
What are you deferring?

Interesting people are interested
Awkwardness is an indication of learning
Don’t practice until you can do it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong. That’s mastery.

Productivity: Nighttime routine ideas (10x is easier than 2x)
The final hour of your day dictates the quality of your sleep and your next day.
Nighttime routine ideas: For 10x sleep, put your phone on DND or silent mode at least 30-60 minutes before bed.
Pull out your journal for 3-5 minutes and write down three wins you had that day. These wins will be any forms of learning or progress you had, even if they weren’t planned.
Plan the “wins” you’ll get tomorrow. Pray and or meditate and then commit to sleep.
Be excited and happy to fully shut it down.

Things to Discover:
Trader Joe’s has some pretty delicious stuff. The sesame honey cashews and the organic toasted sesame dressing make the perfect toppings for an Asian chicken salad. This healthy salad recipe is packed with protein and delicious. I don’t usually like bottled dressing, but this is really good. The cashews are also a delicious treat all on their own :) Yum!
