I saw this ad on the back cover of The Economist. It caused me to consider what (if anything) I would hand down to the generation after me. I’m curious; what are some of the things that you intend to hand down or perhaps have been handed down to you?

I don’t remember when or how I got this book but while scrolling through my Kindle tonight, I found it and decided to give it a go. We’ll see.

After battling through three and 4.5 hours of sleep the past two nights, getting six hours last night feels like a small victory—and it’s made a world of difference in how my day is going.

I’ve ordered some melatonin (which I’ve never taken before) that I’m hoping will help improve my sleep.

Lately I’ve taken to only wearing my Apple Watch to track my sleep or when I’m exercising. The interesting thing I’ve noted while wearing my analog watch throughout the day is I’ll get phantom alerts on my wrist that feels exactly like a notification coming through on my Apple Watch. Weird.
