If you have a business or side hustle here's your chance to promote it. What's your thing? How do folks contact you? Is there something you'd like to start and need support?

Creativity. Attention. Time. Energy. These are your internal resources, and every part of your life draws from them. Your health alone has multiple dimensions: • mental • physical • financial • spiritual • relational Each one requires some share of your C.A.T.E. Most of us are careful about how we spend money, but we’re often much less mindful about how we spend our internal resources. And just like with money, overspending in one area can leave other areas underfunded. For example.. You might pour all of your attention and energy into work… and suddenly your health or relationships start to suffer or you might spend too much time in entertainment and notice your growth slowing down. Some people seem naturally good at maintaining this balance. If you’re like me, you need a bit of structure. What works for me is a combination of: • my calendar • reminders • simple habit standards I aim to stick to my healthy habits most days of the week (3+ days). Things like: • how I eat • when I sleep • how much entertainment I consume • how much of my social time is heavy “service” to others • my level of physical activity • and my personal growth Nothing extreme.. just steady budgeting of my C.A.T.E. Over time, that consistency keeps my overall life healthier. I’m curious. How are you managing your internal resources these days? What tools or systems help you? What’s working well for you? if organizing this is something you’re struggling with, feel free to message me. I’m always happy to help people think through it.

So.. today I was sure I was going to wake up, write, meet up with a friend and maybe record some video. I woke up.. my partner was sick. So I went to the store, bought the stuff to make soup, a nasal rinse .. etc. I came home made her meals and made sure she was alright. I then napped for an hour. I also talked to some friends on the phone and messaged with some clients.. one who was having a rough day and the other who wanted to let me know they were having an awesome day. A productive day doesn't always look how you thought. I've learned not to beat myself up over it and just reset the schedule when life throws a curveball. How do you manage unexpected, unavoidable changes to your plans?

For me, that question led to thoughts about commitment, love, and where staying starts to cost too much. Not to tell anyone what to do or to shame past choices. If this question stirred something in you, I’d love to hear what your answer is.

I was thinking today about how much people hate Mondays. There are around 52 of them a year and on average we each get to live through roughly 4000 Mondays in total. I'm 52 and I've lived through 2600 Mondays. Time is kind of wild. That is all.
