I’m thinking about taking cold showers (see below). 🚿

Especially on those days in the south where you can use a seat belt as a branding iron!

💼 Portfolio Career

Meet Kate Dillingham. Cellist, teacher, entrepreneur. “I wish sometimes I had learned my meditation practice earlier in my career.” Daily activities: coffee, perform, pet the cat, etc. 
 

⚡️ Productivity

Consider Notion AI. Organize your notes and automate tedious tasks.  

💰 Money

Consider peer-to-peer lending

 

📚 Books

Read The Finnish Way by Katja Pantzar. Thoughtful introduction to Finnish culture. And Sisu, which is Finnish fortitude/resilience. Cold showers/dips are “shock therapy” that can relieve pain, stress, & activate endorphins. The sea is a pharmacy. The importance of saunas and daily walks. “When you stand in the forest…your own problems seem small.” Movement is medicine. 

🎵 Music

Listen to Strange Attractors by Matt Levine, Silvia Nakkach. Each piece explores forms of attraction – from choruses of droning voices and crystal bowls to evocative soundscapes, chants, and melodious narratives inspired by the emotional life of Indian raga. Favorite tracks: “Bloom” & “Raga Orb.”

 

📽️ Film

Watch It Ain’t Over directed by Sean Mullin. Gives Yogi Berra his due in following the life of a bad-ball hitting catcher but also a D-Day veteran, husband/father & originator (mostly) of his own brand of proverbs now ingrained into everyday life
