Ride.
In The Moment: There's something invigorating about putting on my gear, jumping onto the (bmx or motocross) track and pushing myself until I'm spent.
To be at my best, I have to ride in the moment, focus on the right now and nothing else. The second I take my mind off what I'm doing, the danger level increases exponentially.
Design.
The Standard: When we sit down to solve a design problem we like to approach potential solutions as if we're designing the standard. We imagine how the end result would be if it were used as the measure for all others to be compared.
This helps to focus the product and weed out unnecessary features, content and directions.
Eat.
Real Food Often: I eat plenty of good stuff, but not too much. Once I figured out how much I could eat, making better food choices got easier and easier.
Even with a mad sweet tooth, I try to eat more whole, real foods in between decadent desserts. I love eating so much, I shipped this social food logbook for everyone to share what they eat.
$leep.
Dream Big: In addition to asking myself if I feel rested or got in enough sleep, I also like to ask: "Did we get any new sign-ups last night?" or "How much revenue did we generate?"
I've always been fascinated with earning money while I sleep. If we produce solid value during our hours awake, our time asleep will be time well spent.
