Not the Monk I Used to Be. Great episode of Back To Work about the importance of sleep.
Anxiety’s a goat. Wonderful episode of Back to Work about stress and anxiety. Also one of my new favorite quotes: anxiety is an emotional stem cell.

Working on a WordPress theme while listening to Dan Benjamin and Merlin Mann. An awesome way to end the weekend.
