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.

"The final jet-booster of this trend is the airlines' extraordinarily successful frequent-flier programs, which have provided the burgeoning hyperflier culture with its own currency, lexicon, and class structure. ... The hyperfliers may think they're getting something for nothing, but they're actually playing the airlines' game. By tightly restricting free flights, airlines have rigged it so that a passenger flying for free almost never displaces a paying customer, and typically costs the airline only about $20 per flight. But to earn that $20 flight, hyperfliers will go out of their way to book all their tickets on one airline, and may waste hundreds or thousands of dollars building their status." --Warren Berger, "Life Sucks and Then You Fly," Wired, August, 1999
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 .
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!
