New phrase: “kick them in the beans.” It’s a keeper!!
If someone had suggested getting up at 5am when I was 26, I would have wanted to kick them in the beans.
At 46, 5am to 8ish is one of my favorite times of the day.
While my wife and kids are sleeping, I do whatever I want.
Some days I'll write.
I love this rhythm. To be clear, I don't function well in this particular rhythm myself over long term, but I have had a few good short-terms runs at it, and I love space and solitude he's carved out here.
