Guten morgen from a Romanshorn bound train outta Zürich.

I flew here yesterday after a fun two days celebrating my daughter’s & girlfriend’s son’s 6th & 7th birthdays. : )

The last time I took the Romanshorn ferry to Friedrichshafen for Eurobike was 2011. It was my 1st time at the show & I was selling translation services for ALTA. 2018 is now my 6th (!) time at the show. And I’m very proud to be supported by such an awesome team representing so many amazing clients. Check out Twotone’s clients at Eurobike here on pr.co. Speaking of pr.co, their sales guy Sjors is staying with us too!

My busy schedule & travel can really take its toll. I’m hoping to catch some Z’s on this hour train ride & 40 min ferry.

10 months ago I wrote: rest is best. But what happens when you put napping the test? (Spoiler alert: “a short afternoon nap improves endurance performance in runners that obtain less than 7 [hours] night-time sleep.”)

So wait, you can literally nap to catch up on sleeping too little… But how about how to sleep your way to the top? Not like that, I mean: to develop an evening routine for cutting stress, creating momentum, and cultivating happiness:

1. 🤔 Do a daily reflection. Ask yourself questions like this before bedtime:

What were three amazing things that happened today?
What’s one (or two) thing(s) I learned today?
