I used to view warming up as a boring obstacle before my workout could begin. I’ve had to entirely change my thinking around this in the last few years. I’ve come to realise that an effective warm up is the single biggest thing I can do to reduce the risk of injury.
Perfection is not the goal
I was off to an absolutely cracking start for my habits in May. You could say, a perfect start. I was particularly impressed with my first six days of sleep. But then things started to slide.
Daily Habits: April 2022 (this is a game changer!)
Tracking my daily habits has been a game changer. And I don’t use that phrase lightly. In just three months, I’ve built a handful of habits up to 80% consistency.
In fact, my focus for April was to nudge those handful of habits to 80% consistency. Here’s how I did.
Coming back stronger than ever
I’ve been working with Jamie (personal trainer) for the last year. One of the things he has helped me with is to address the root causes of previous back injuries. It was going great. I had been training 4-5 times a week for about a year – getting stronger and fitter without any back issues.
No alcohol: 250 days
Giving up alcohol for 60 days felt like a massive milestone for me. But now it’s just the first step in my 250 day journey of being alcohol free.
Daily Habits: February 2022 (first month under the belt)
Last month I decided to track how consistent I was with my daily habits. The idea wasn’t to be perfect, but to bring better self awareness of how I was doing. Here’s how I did in February.
Leadership and time allocation
I went out for dinner with a friend last night. We ended up talking about leadership and time allocation (I know, we’re wild right? 😉 ).
Observing how a leader spends their time is often the quickest way to see how effective they are.
My Cryptocurrency investing strategy (evolved)
I wrote recently about my crypto investing strategy. I’ve taken that a level further and put together a clearer investment case for Web 3 / Decentralisation in general, aswell as the specific assets I have a position in (spoiler alert: it influenced some changes to my portfolio).
Cryptocurrency Investing
I’ve been spending a lot of time recently learning about and investing in crypto. It’s been a bumpy ride, but I’ve settled on an approach that I’m happy with. I hope that by sharing this, it’ll be helpful to others.
