One of the senior AE’s calls me accidentally over Teams.  We start talking about sales and how things are slow now, and I’ll admit I started the conversation saying my sales were shit and non-existent… outstanding proposals with nothing materializing.  She cites how this new covid stain and rise in cases is contributing to fear and reluctance with business decisions.  I thank her for listening and wish her a good morning and day.

Coffee starts to work.  Where do I start prospecting….  Get out of Marin, Sonoma Counties.  Go to SF, I tell myself.  Tech and internet companies… get in that world, more.  Use Bottledaux more.  This discussion with self builds and then I realize the 365 project is done.  Finished just a few days ago.  Started it in the Caddis tasting room.  And here I am….  Wide awake now, coffee singing and speaking to me.  I mute the TV and put on music, Tycho to put myself in amore a relaxed patch of thinking.

So early, I remember.  7:42, imagining myself as a radio or podcast host and the whole premise is waking early, starting the day early… health, mental health, happiness, and how it’s all DIY.  OR, a news anchor like these Channel 2 people.  Waking early solves so much… just when I think I can’t write I remember the students in my classes and certain ideas I’ve offered.  “Magic of the meta”, and ‘use what’s present rather than grieving what’s absent’, those types of thoughts.
