What I want to talk about today is something I’ll call hinge habits. They’re choices we make that – for our individual mentality – set the board for the rest of our day. The relative success and sanity of the day literally hinge on these simple practices. When we do them, the rest of the day seems to fall into place. We at least have an easier time staying on a solid, healthy path. Skip them, however, and everything else feels “off.” We flounder. Some days we can nonetheless steady ourselves, but it requires more effort.

0:57.3 | or should I sleep or exercise? The underlying assumption is that there's a conclusive rule to this, |
1:04.1 | that we all conform to the same pattern, a universal law that will remake the game for everyone. Sure, I believe physiology conforms to some |
1:14.9 | pretty standard principles. The primal blueprint is based on them. As such, I incorporate these direct |

1:29.7 | important about these laws and hacks. The mental version of these, when properly and |
