The ZONE

I've referred to it as many things, but essentially the zone is being in a place where I have great energy, am focused, prepared and organized, and have a clear idea or plan on how to efficiently accomplish my todos of the day.

When I'm in the zone, I have high daily drill averages. when I'm not, they suffer.

here's the recipe for being in the zone:

1. High-heart rate work out, 1 hydroxy + protein powder. [start with weights, then cardio]
2. Some light meditation and breathing and/or heart exercises to eliminate emotional distractions
3. Adderoll + multivitamin + fish pills
4. Clear plan of action
5. Clean/ organized work area to eliminate visual / audio distractions.

what to watch out for:

 - health: colds and diverticulitis flair ups can screw up 3-4 days; not going to gym for longer than 3 days creates issues and drops in percentages. 

 - emotional distractions: creates risks to quality of work and follow-through.
