75 Day Challenge

-
My wife came across this interesting challenge over the weekend, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. SO, here it is. We are diving in! 

Things we will do during this challenge and many of which we'll move forward with:

For a quick summary, here are the 5 things required during the 75 days.
  • Exercise twice each day for 45 minutes — it doesn’t matter what the exercise is but one of these sessions must be outdoors.
  • Drink 4 liters of water per day.
  • Pick a diet or eating plan and stick to that plan. You don’t necessarily have to count calories but be intelligent — no chocolates, no cake, no soft drinks, and NO ALCOHOL (this is the one I’ll struggle with the most).
  • Read a minimum of 10 pages every day of growth mindset material or self-help book. No fifty shades of grey content! stick to real-life material to work on your mindset.
  • Take one progress photo each day — even though this is more of a mental challenge, the byproduct will be a physical change at the end of the 75 days.

So here it is, day one! Today I was leg day in the gym (aka the basement, aka supernova), then rowing, then yoga to center. Lunch was a 45-minute bike ride.

I'm on my 3rd liter of water. It's a lotta water people.

I'm planning on using macros as a way to track my food. I've heard this works.

How to use Google Tasks

-
Image
  I love a good todo list, and I’ve tried a lot of apps, and none of them stuck, until I found Google Tasks. I think it stuck, unlike the others, because Grafana uses Google Business Suite. Google Tasks is an application that is fully embedded with all other Google work suite products (docs, gmail, sheets, slides, etc…) and it’s very powerful! I wanted to write a small post about it to share what I’ve found useful. Tasks is available in the right sidebar of most Google Applications: When you click that icon then a new sidebar appears, you can quickly add tasks manually, like every other todo list. The little arrow circle is a way you can set tasks as recurring. Need a way to remember to fill out your TPS report every Friday, here ya go. You can also make multiple lists, if you want to do that. I’ve found it’s useful to just have 1 for work and 1 for personal stuff but everyone is different here. Google Docs Integration In google docs, Tasks is also embedded.  By clicking that ...

How I used Eisenhower's matrix to tame the noise of Slack

-
Image
It happened again. I missed something critical on Slack—a message buried beneath the flood of notifications that should have been front and center. This was the wake-up call I needed. Despite all the efforts to stay organized, Slack’s constant stream of notifications, unread messages, and channels I don’t even remember joining were drowning out the important stuff. Sound familiar? That’s when I turned to an old, yet effective, decision-making tool: Eisenhower’s Matrix . You may know it as the framework that helps prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, separating what's truly critical from what can wait—or what shouldn’t even be on your plate at all. But how does this tool apply to Slack? Let me explain. Understanding Eisenhower’s Matrix If you’re not familiar, the Eisenhower Matrix categorizes tasks into four quadrants: Urgent and Important : Do it now. Important but Not Urgent : Schedule it for later. Urgent but Not Important : Delegate it. Neither Urgent nor Important ...

9 Ways to Caffeinate your life: a deep dive into the impact of coffee, tea, and yerba mate

Together with the coffee-at-tea expert, ChatGPT, as the expert witness to the effects, both positive and warnings, minus the funny bits, like figuring out how to do the 💩emoji 🤣. 1 & 7. Yerba Mate Loosely translated by some Argentinians as "The Herb". This savory tea beverage is not for those who need that sugar rush in the morning, but enjoy the smoky flavor of a dark tea. Yerba has about the same level of caffeine as your standard cup of joe, but without the shakiness that comes with your double-pump latte from the Bux. Yerba water is set to the same as the green tea setting on the #3 temperature-controlled water heater, also known as 175F. That water heater is amazing, it even has a button that says "hold temp", which when pressed, keeps the temp steady for up to 30 minutes. Brilliant. You then take the hot water and pour it slowly over the herb that is in the mate cup pointed to in 7.1. If you are on the go you can pour it into the thermos with the Grafana...
