GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Day 3 of the New Year — finding pieces of myself at 1.0x speed.

My back was good enough (barely) to go to the park with the kids.

Before getting back into the car* I swung my arms around and discovered back muscles that I didn’t know existed.

Is this the #silverlining of #backpain?

* My wife was driving, there’s no way I would operate a vehicle outside of a dire emergency.

Oh and I survived my first day of living at 1.0x speed.


If it’s not worth 1.0x speed, it’s not worth it.

Maybe this will be rule #5.

Is there a hidden cost of trying to fit everything in? I can’t to remember anything from audiobooks that I “read” at 1.5x speed. Let’s not talk about YouTube.

Such an approach would force me to be pickier about my information consumption.

I also wonder if listening to things at high speed is grooving bad hidden psychological habits.
