Now

Things orbiting my life right now.

  • Principles:
    • Love, Integrity, Freedom, Endurance (LIFE)
      • Love: Treat others the way I want to be treated / Do most good with least harm, even if inconvenient.
      • Integrity: Align my thoughts, words, and actions. / Consistency / Focus / Reliability / Trustworthy / Do what I say.
      • Freedom: Empower Individuals / Decentralize Power Structures / Autonomy / Curiosity / Exploration / Holy Spirit
      • Endurance: Grit / Persistence / Faithfulness / Determination / Diligence / Discipline
  • Fitness
    • Strength: Lifting weights. Started at 3 sets of 6. Then 4 sets of 10. Now at 5 sets of 10 reps of everything. Only 1 to 3 different workouts per session. Averaging 3 sessions per week. Aiming for 4 sessions. Tracking everything I lift in a spreadsheet. Seeing increases in strength and visual changes.
    • Speed: Fast/Slow Interval Training. Running, biking, or rowing. Haven’t been consistent with speed training. Its definitely the toughest for me.
    • Endurance: Walk, bike, run. I feel the most mental benefits from endurance training. But I haven’t been consistent.
  • Work:
  • Current Hobbies: Turning annoying problems into opportunities for flow states whenever possible. Fixing all the broken things around me (mostly cars, computers, and phones). Built my first custom PC… still figuring out the software. Playing video games with my kids, family, and friends.
