Notes
Simple & Sinister is fixing the physical issues as a result of my injury and I have been thrilled with the incremental improvements I have observed.
I had previously adopted a rigorous daily meditation routine that showed immense benefits to my personal and professional life. I stopped that routine almost a year ago with the declaration that I was "too busy". After reading

I have decided to add one hour of meditation to my daily routine. This adds up in total, between my physical routine and meditation, to two and a half hours a day on personal improvement. At a time in history where most Americans can name all of the noble houses of Westeros, I think this should be a manageable commitment
