Never check email first thing in the morning. instead, complete your most important task before 11:00 a.m. to avoid using lunch or reading email as a postponement excuse.
Morning Reading Lunch
How this feels is i'm just another task in god's daily planner: the renaissance pencilled in for right after the dark ages. the information age is scheduled immediately after the industrial revolution. then the post-modern era, then the four horsemen of the apocalypse. famine. check. pestilence. check. war. check. death. check. and between the big events, the earthquakes and tidal waves, god's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, god's daily planner has me finished.

I've always had to deal with being biracial, even in music. when i came on the scene, i'd go to these record labels, and they'd say things like, "lenny kravitz. that's a weird name." i'm brown-skinned and i've got these dreadlocks and i've got this jewish last name.
