🧘♂️ What video I never thought I would make -
- On March 15th I posted a sad picture because I was going to start doing cardio again the next day. That day never came. My gym closed (for good now). So I decided to abandon my plans of doing a "carnivore cut" and instead focus on something I
have neglected for decades — mobility. Over the last 3 months I've done yoga nearly every day. I know that in order for me to continue this long term, I need to boil down my stretching into a "minimum effective dose." So I devised a 15 minute routine of my favorite poses / stretches, so that I don't have any excuses not to continue mobility work 3 or 4X/week when I
can finally get back in the gym.

🤠 What I'm excited to pick up -

💣 What is getting upended -

🗺 What do wise people believe -
- The idea of "mental models" to improve thinking and decision making is one of the fastest growing areas of "self improvement." At the heart of these mental models are frameworks, tools, and worldviews to enhance thinking. Essentially they are "treasure maps" to learning wisdom from the wise by working backwards from their beliefs. This series, "A Framework for
Putting Mental Models to Practice," is some of the best writing on mental models I've come across.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"A good test for an idea is if you can articulate why most people think it's a bad idea, but you understand what makes it good."

↗ What distorts reality -
- Back in the day the dating site, OkCupid, used their data to share insights into dating and human nature. One interesting finding popped up when they allowed users to rate each other on 2 metrics: looks and personality.
Appearance and Perception

🎱 What 8 minutes is slammed with ideas and insights -
- I came across this 8 minute animated video that synthesized ideas and insights from lifetimes of experience. Jammed packed.
"Nature doesn't hurry, yet everything is accomplished."
