  • You’ll notice this weekend I didn’t record any podcasts.
  • And you’ll notice I didn’t do my daily emails.

  • The concept of space in weightlifting (rest)
  • The concept of space in eating healthy (refeed days/cheat days)
  • The body and mind cannot tolerate being under constant pressure forever
  • Eventually, the constant pressure grinds down the ability of your brain to function properly

  • Real creativity only happens when the mind is empty
