Intro:

We start the show by talking about how much we hate pleasantries.

Main Discussion:

Today’s show is about how much we value morning routines. We start by discussing the origins of our routines and then progress into what our mornings look like now. As part of the discussion, we explore why waking up is easier for some people than others and how early morning routines are not for everyone.

Most morning routines are stressful and rushed. We explore ways to change this and set ourselves up for a better day. Peter and Gary have a similar approach whereas Sarah has a much different opinion on this topic.

We also discuss the challenges night owls face and explore some possible solutions for them.

Action Items:

Prepare for your morning the night before
Create habits and structure for your mornings
Do what works for you
If you are a night owl, create a night routine that you enjoy and avoid drift

Key Topics:

Night Owls
Larks
Drift
Sleep
Love Languages
Better Every Day
Cold Shower

Resources Mentioned In This Episode:

Why We Sleep, Matthew Walker

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey

The Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman

Introduction:

A quick hello and right into the nonsense.

Main Show:

Sarah’s W.I.N’s:

We discuss the 8 amazing secrets of avocados. Peter and I mock most of them due to the vagueness of the article. We also discuss Gary’s issue with this fruit!

Is decision fatigue a real thing? We discuss what this is and how to combat it.

Peter’s W.I.N’s:

Peter is mad at an article that promotes exercise for “old, frail” people. We believe that even older people can lift heavy things and should.

A new study showed the strength training alone could help burn fat. A reminder that body composition matters more than the number on the scale!

Gary’s W.I.N’s:

A woman wrote an article celebrating that she spends $725/mo on lawn care, home cleaning, and 3 days/week of prepaid meals. Gary disputes this article and does some math to show how this is a bad idea in most cases.

China has severely limited the hours/week that kids under 18 are allowed to game. Gary loves the idea behind it while noting that he does not want our government doing the same thing. We discuss kids and the detriments of gaming.

Fan Feedback:

Denise leaves some constructive feedback for the team. She also thinks that Gary talks too much!
