Coffee Before Conclusions

Great plans are always made when I’m full of energy and promise.

It’s usually around the second round of I can’t sleep, but, "I’ve gotta pee again" , or Oh FUCK, it’s still fucking freezing here that I start to doubt myself.

Again. And again.

Then I follow my rule: make no decisions until you’re up, you’re moving, coffee has entered your body and 20 minutes have passed.

I call it the 20-minute rule.

It serves me well.
