"Embracing the Morning Routine: A Reflection on Priorities and Ambitions"
Feb 9, 2024 - 8:15amSummary: I overslept by 20 minutes this morning due to feeling unwell, but waking up at 5:50 am rather than 5:30 am doesn't concern me too much. Despite not being on time, I appreciate how rising early shapes the start of my day. After waking, I had coffee and planned to make eggs soon to address my hunger. My thoughts are occupied with the challenges of getting a startup off the ground, acknowledging that it's a significant undertaking but ultimately a positive one.Comment: Morning
Transcript: So, I did not wake up on time, but it hurts me a bit to say this, but I'm okay with it. And mainly the reason is, I guess my throat is not feeling very good, and I'm a bit worried about being sick, so the extra 20 minutes of sleep isn't super worrying to me. I did wake up at 5.50 instead of 5.30. 5.50 is still before 6, and yeah, while not on time, and I'd like to be on time, not bad. And getting up early definitely starts the morning in a different kind of light. So, that's, yeah, that's how we started the day. Had coffee, and now probably going to make some eggs here shortly, because I can feel myself getting hungry. So much thinking about, like, just startup and what it will take to get off the ground, what I need. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot, but it's good.

I did not get out of bed when my alarm went off at 6:30; instead, I opened my eyes at 6:38 without any valid excuse. I wonder if those extra eight minutes of lying in bed genuinely benefited me or improved my life. Despite questioning whether to get up or sleep more, seven and a half hours of sleep should have been reasonable. So, ultimately, I acknowledge that there are no excuses for not waking up on time.
After successfully waking up on time today and feeling satisfied with the early start, I plan to make it a nightly routine to wake up at 5:30 a.m. for coffee, breakfast, and quiet time for strategic thinking, particularly about my business plan. Additionally, I aim to complete personal tasks such as doing laundry and meal planning. I'll work until around 1 p.m. before meeting Nick to discuss work related to a spreadsheet and the possibility of negotiating one or two months of free rent.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.
