Give yourself enough time to sleep-what sleep scientists call a sleep opportunity. This means going to bed at least 8 hours before you need to wake up, preferably 9. Darken the room completely. Make it dark enough that you can't see your hand in front of your face with your eyes open, if possible. If that is not achievable, use an eye shade. I use a silky one called Alaska Bear. Fix your wake-up time-and don't deviate from it, even on weekends. If you need flexibility, you can vary your bed-time, but make it a priority to budget for at least 8 hours in bed each night. [2023] - Peter Attia

The longest-lived, healthiest populations on the planet are those who consume a lower-protein, high-carb whole-food diet. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

We make the playing field larger by using wider exits and stops, by using longer time frames, and by trying for larger gains. [2007] - Ed Ponsi

Talk with people in the neighborhood. Simply letting them know you are interested in buying in their neighborhood is usually all that is necessary to open a very informative dialogue. They will want to learn more about you and in the process may reveal valuable information on their community during the discussion. There may be water, sewer, drainage, or other problems in the area that are not readily apparent. [2004] - Mike Summey
