It can be rough. And I think that these tips certainly were coming at it from the standpoint of musicians and balancing the day with usually a gig at night, maybe in the afternoon.

But I think these might, I mean, I've traveled enough at this point.

I feel like these are good ways to stay sharp just in general when you're on the road.

Yeah, even for a conference or some other business trip or anything, not music related.

It can be helpful to do some of these routines when you're traveling. Yeah, I mean, the main thing I think for musicians is the schedule, because you're normally playing at night, so you kind of have to balance things out, and if you're working during the day. But a lot of times, there's been sound checks or teaching, workshops, afternoon gigs. So why don't you start with number one Adam? Yeah I mean

number one this is important not just for travel but for life in general and that is to
