The 365 Commitment

Day 52 – Dulce Suenos

I have set the habit of getting up each morning at about 5am.  This seems to happen regardless of the time I go to bed. This is a good thing because I have time to keep my morning regimen of habits I am committed to.   This morning’s run, squats and sprints felt pretty strong.  Unfortunately, I require about 7hrs of sleep. I wish I was one of those people who only need 5 or 6.

So, any time I stay up past 10, I’m shorting myself on sleep.  I think it’s actually the dreaming component of sleep that is the most important. It’s funny how the body sets a waking time regardless of the going to sleep time.  Anyhow, given that it is past 10pm at this very moment, and that I have not had enough sleep for at least the past two nights, I am going to go to have to settle for a shorter than usual blog post today.  Dulce suenos!

Day 350 – Learning to Triangulate

The article explains the concept of triangulation, drawing parallels between its use in surveying and navigation to its application in evaluating information. It emphasizes the importance of cross-referencing multiple independent sources to determine truth, especially in an age of misinformation and AI-generated content.
