That’s how I currently think about exercising! I know how great I feel after I do it, so why am I not doing it? Exploring the excuses as problems to solve feels like engineering. I consider myself a software engineer. If I can't apply my engineering skills to my own life, what kind of engineer am I?

Then recognition, light, the familiarity of the space rush in.

I love waking up and not immediately knowing where I am. I imagine that’s what being born feels like, haha

I just never got the rest of this idea off the ground, onto the page. [...]

Sounds like you bit more off your brain than you can chew haha
