So during this Corona Craziness, what have YOU been doing as your Daily RICHuals? For me, beyond work and basic health monitoring, I have some other RICHuals to keep me focused on things outside of work. First, I’m trying to keep my sleep schedule tight. I’m usually a 9:30-5:30 kind of guy and that has been a consistent thing for years. Next, I’m making sure I get in my miles… Read More »Daily RICHual #58: More RICHuals, sleep, run, eat.
Yesterday’s 3 RICHuals were just simple ways to check in on myself from a basic health standpoint.

I was last in front of a real live class almost a month ago. Like all of you, my life has had a bit of a Corona focus lately. Don’t get me wrong, I am the farthest thing from panic mode. In fact, I read about two or three articles a day to make sure I am up on the latest, but I have no interest in becoming overly obsessed… Read More »Daily RICHual #56: My 3 Corona RICHuals
I think you could begin gradually with some exercise. Exercise will not only help your brain but it should also help you sleep.

Stress. Rule 8. They call stress a killer, and they are right. We’re not talking about short term stress here like that person who cuts you off without a turn signal while they’re chatting on their phone and you get really pissed. In fact, that kind of stress is natural (and some maintain it is actually healthy).

Exercise. In the beginning, we were hunters and gatherers. Researchers estimate that the average person from the Homo erectus group, over a million years ago moved 10 to 20 kilometers a day (6-12 miles). Scientists also believe that this was the time of the human brains most impressive development, man (the species, not the gender) was on the move.

In this time of social distancing, some of us have taken to reading. SO, just in case you might need a recommendation or two (or more) here are my twenty favorite books of all time. This was tough because I like A LOT of books. Now, understand that I do not read mysteries, romance, sci-fi or most any fiction. I mostly read non-fiction/get better at what you do books.
