    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Really good points. Thank you for helping me see through some of my limiting beliefs! Again, great points. I think it's easy to forget sometimes how much value we can provide with just our personalities and the type of energy we exude. On the topic of having smaller audiences, I live in a...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    That's such a touching reason to commit to a plant-based lifestyle. In addition to being healthy yourself, you're also setting a wonderful example for your daughter. My father does not take care of himself at all, and never really has. Even though I've been living a plant-based lifestyle for ~8...

    Completely Change your Sleep Pattern in just 2 days.

    HEALTH 
    Also, if you take advantage of being immersed in nature (e.g., not really using cell phones, etc.), you're much more influenced by natural light. You get sleepy faster when the sun sets (even when in front of a campfire), and there's less you can do/be distracted by. So you just go to sleep...

    What GURUs are really selling you...

    GURUS 
    It's interesting because it seems gurus are also looking for "the shortcut" - they don't put the effort in to provide value, they would rather sell a quick scam. It's kind of a fascinating (and sad and confusing) positive feedback system - the more lazy and ignorant consumers there are, the more...

    Completely Change your Sleep Pattern in just 2 days.

    HEALTH 
    Do you think 2 days is enough time for these changes to stick? Genuinely curious to know how this is going for you in a couple of weeks. On another note, I've found that camping immensely helps reset my circadian rhythm.

    I have found that when I'm mostly consistent in minimizing my caffeine intake, a day here and there of splurging isn't enough to get me re-addicted, so it's much easier to bounce back. Great! Can't wait to hear all about it!

    I 'made it' and all I got was an existential crisis

    MINDSET 
    This resonates with my own story. Last year I finished my PhD and wasn't feeling as accomplished, happy, etc. as I had expected. I realized after a few months that finishing the PhD had become my end goal and I was struggling to fill the void of not having a new goal. Just identifying this...

    Thanks for the suggestion/reminder - I definitely get caught up in details sometimes. Hmm, the dog thing is an interesting idea. I don't feel I really have anything new to add to what Cesar Milan aka The Dog Whisperer has already put out there. But it's something I could ponder a little more.

    2/12 February. What a ride. My job required a great deal of my time and energy early in the month. I threw together a proposal for a new project idea. As a scientist, I've been the leader of projects, but I've always been handed the project idea and funding. It was pretty rewarding to come...

    That's great news! I'm sure laser focus on your prioritized work/study will soon follow. In one day?! I saw a comment about the amount of protein in 10 eggs, but I immediately think of cholesterol; that's quite a lot. I'm all for experimenting for food intolerances/allergies, but as mentioned...

    What did you study at university and what do you do now?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Undergrad: Physics MS & PhD: Geophysics Currently working my way out of a scam, I mean postdoc position. I'm expecting to be in a 9-to-5 situation for 3-5 more years to support myself while I work on starting entrepreneurial pursuits. First up, a podcast and book. Haven't decided on what to do...

    Movies to watch with Fastlane Mindset/ Lessons?

    The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. The film is based on an incredible true story. The focus isn't so much on business (though business and politics play a role), but it powerfully demonstrates mindset, initiative, and focus on value-providing problem solving that translate well to...

    You're welcome! I find myself doing the same thing - doing little easy things to procrastinate on the bigger/harder/scarier things. I'll be curious to know how this approach works for you!

    I took a gut biome test and it told me I should totally avoid coffee (not for the caffeine, but for some other compound found in coffee) as it was not agreeable to my gut health. Apparently, gut health is super important and tied to so many interesting things. So, anyway, I quit coffee (all...

    Keep making moves to get to where you want to be! If you can go through med school and what you're doing now, you can do anything.

    Lol for years now when asked "what do you want to do after you finish school?" I'd tell them with total sincerity that I wanted to be a housewife. Doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. etc. everyday honestly is more attractive to me than sitting behind a computer screen in a windowless office...

    Thank you! I'm becoming more and more convinced that my energy and motivation are suffering from accumulated stress and burnout. When I was younger I think I was really good at ignoring my needs. I also experience bursts of energy and motivation, but the more I make sure I get a balanced mix of...
