Third time calling the car rental co.
“We’ll send a shuttle to pick you up in 15-20 min”
“It has been 90 minutes and this is my third time hearing this, how long does 15-20 min mean in your dialect?”
“Are you in the right place?”
“Yes, I’ve gotten to know the your competitors’ shuttle bus drivers and we’re all on a first name basis at this point. Are you sure you have a shuttle bus?”

I tried to avoid electronic devices, or screens of any kind for the first hour of my day.
Then I begin my rituals of a peaceful morning…
Sit ups, push-ups, grinding coffee and pumping espresso, Rinse and repeat for girlfriend’s pourover.
Then I continue my healing journey immersed in memes for a while 😇
My neurologists, and therapists suggested it following a serious accident
It helps manage and curb unhelpful thinking, it also brings me peace, and helps me protect my good energy⚡️
Ahh!
Yes, I use an app called Incite Timer
But I’m sure there are many others that offer free guided meditations.
I would browse their selections and try different tracks, bookmark the ones that speak to you, and you can always revisit those whenever you want. Probably have about 20 or 30 earmarked, but sometimes I discover new ones too
For sure, but that first hour or so of the day is important.
Soon as your eyes hit the screen you begin processing data and that window of mindfulness and personal time is 💨
It only looks “little” because we’ve gone off the deep end with 42mm watches (and up) in the modern market
Some men have massive wrists, like athletes, and more often than not, they have more money than taste… not sure what gave everyone else the ambition to jump into such big watches but only in the past 15+ years have been people stepping into massive watches, but lately I see brands moving back to classic sizes btw 36-39mm and I foresee that continuing into 2025.
