Those pepsi colas and pork rinds are probably working against you by making it harder for your brain to concentrate. Be kind to yourself and feed yourself good food--make sure you get lots of food with omega 3's as they are great for both mood and concentration--lots of water, and a little exercise even if it's only a 20 minute walk. Good luck with the book--I'm looking forward to reading it.

Be kind to yourself and feed yourself good food–make sure you get lots of food with omega 3′s as they are great for both mood and concentration–lots of water, and a little exercise even if it’s only a 20 minute walk.

Good luck with the book–I’m looking forward to reading it.

It's going to open a ton of speaking opportunities. You just have to eat better. It's hard to be happy while writing when you don't give your body the right ingredients. Instead of taking Pepsi and Pork Rinds to your layer. Try slowly transitioning to Green tea and raisins or Black tea and carrots or water and and apple with peanut butter. I also like to play Bach or Mozart which makes me feel better. By giving your ears and stomach the right stuff, you'll be much happier with better results. I know it will be a great book.

Don't let your health fall to pieces while you write it, though. Take some vegetables and fruit to the office with you. (I'm not one who can talk -- I rarely eat vegetables and fruit.) Good going, doing your chapter a week! I'm pulling for you! The book sounds interesting and exciting. Don’t let your health fall to pieces while you write it, though.
