Know Yourself

Here are some things that I know about myself. I learned them through some type of quantification, either formal or informal.
  • My average weight over the past three years has been 151 pounds
  • I can subsist on 24oz per day of water, assuming moderate physical activity and 80-85 degrees temperature
  • I can survive for 3-4 days with no food with minimal impact to my energy or mood.
  • I typically sleep 7.5 hours per night. I almost always wake up at 5:30 AM. 
  • My mental state suffers at less than 6 hours of sleep. The result is typically slower reaction time, mild depression and irritability
  • When I travel, I sleep less. I am also more depressed
  • My stress behavior is typically to want to connect MORE, rather than less with others

What do you know about yourself? How do you use this information to be more self-aware and manage yourself more effectively?

 Know your limits. Know what you can do with yourself. Test yourself before you're tested.

In that moment of familiarity and habit I almost forgot what I had been doing for the past few days as I picked at the continental breakfast laid out by our instructor to welcome us back to civilization.

I wanted my foods: the nut butters and trendy high protein "superfoods" I am so used to and have come to expect.   Three days before, I was skinning a garter snake, awkwardly and squeamishly removing its guts, cutting it into one bite-sized piece for each of my classmates and adding it as the main part of a stew made up of pond water, wild garlic, a handful of tadpoles, a slug, a cricket, multipl...

So the roof got fixed. I'm thinking about owning a really old house and all the work that entails. Most everyone who comes to work on the house really doesn't like working on it. It takes a lot to love my house. My house is even mentioned here . Scroll down or hit "control-f" to find 920 Spain. Time to go outside and get some sunshine!

Friday night: a visit to Ninja Cafe, where the waitress was very skeptical of my knowledge of Japanese. Then, we went to dba and had a few cocktails with the owner of some New Orleans websites for those with prurient interests. On Saturday, I worked on the pond, getting proper filtration set up for it. This will give us the opportunity to add more fish to it. On Saturday evening, I roasted garlic and we made some drinks with Red Bull and then we visited Rese and Kenneth in Rese's tony Henderson condo .
