Here’s a workout that I’ve tried a couple times. The first time, I couldn’t keep up with the 12 mph pace during the 2nd or 3rd set, so I turned it down to something more manageable, e.g., 8.0 mph.
Today I attempted it again. This time I set the treadmill to 9.0 during the working sets. I felt like it was bit easy to manage, so I raised the speed to 10 mph. It felt more strenuous when I attempted it that fast. Next time I’ll set it for 10 mph and report back.
What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
Wow. 100 daily prompts.
I need to be mindful of my time. More often than not I have a framework for a schedule. I do it to be flexible; however, the flexibility gives me too much leeway with my activities. I.e., I don’t adhere to the schedule because I know I don’t have to start or end that activity on time.
Let’s take sleep as an example. I aim for 6-7 hours of sleep per day. But, it never pans out that way because I’m always doing something that eats into my allotted sleep schedule.
Anyway, I need to be more punctual with myself (and with others). The lack of punctuality means that I need to give greater attention to my time.
Here is a quick hack to folding t-shirts. This method revolutionized my life. Take a look.
What’s your all-time favorite album?
Currently, I don’t have a favorite album. I listen to podcasts and sermons on my iPhone. Those are my favorite pieces of audio. But I can tell you vividly what my first favorite album was when I was 18. It was “Illmatic”.
I hadn’t really gotten into the album when it was first released in 1994. I was not buying albums until way later in life. (And even then it was few and far between. Spotify and Apple Music, and others have really changed the game for music consumption.).
When I first played it from start to finish for I was mesmerized first by the melody and then by the lyrics. Even though the album had some dark themes overall it was a pretty mellow one.
My favorite track there was “The World Is Yours”. That was an instant classic. I played it over and over during my freshman year of college. (I think I burned out my Winamp from playing it on my desktop so much.).
The song was a microcosm of how dope the album was with its lyricism and melodies. Illmatic was considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time with good reason.
What brands do you associate with?
I’m a Nike guy but I can get down with other brands.

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
The last thing I searched was a picture of Scottie Pippen. I wanted to honor his birthday, which was yesterday.
