So, I immediately turn to the things that I've studied that you talk about so beautifully on your podcast, which are strategies generally to make your brain work better. [...] My morning routine. What is my morning routine? I get up, I do a 45-minute tea meditation. So meditating over the brewing and drinking of tea that I learned from a monk who has an institute in Taiwan where he teaches tea meditation, love it. I've learned all about tea, different kinds of tea. And then I do a 30-minute cardio weights workout. Then I take my shower with the hot-cold contrast. And, oh, and before that, key thing, if I want to learn something and I want to be able to get over the difficulty of repeating things, or just push myself to do stuff, sleep, so good, good sleep. I've learned that over the pandemic, I did sleep experiments on myself and I learned that I was sleeping an hour less than I really needed. So I really need seven-and-a-half to eight hours of sleep. And I was getting six and a half. And so now, I get that seven-and-a-half to eight hours every single night, and guess what? I come to different difficult tasks and I am more willing to give it a try, to try longer, to try harder, and my brain works better.
