"I've been taking advantage of the fact that one kid is in college and the other can drive himself to school to spend a little more time in bed each morning, but I got up earlier than usual today to make breakfast. Inspired by a post from Deven Morgan of the Driveline Youth Academy, my goals were to ensure my son was properly fueled for a very long day and to build a little momentum for my own endeavors."
"There was a time when I could go to school and then mow yards with my dad for a couple hours before heading back to school to lift weights and play basketball well into the evening. Even if my knees didn't hate me for what I did to them in my youth, my battery now resembles that of an iPhone that's more than two generations old. Which is to say I need to spend more time charging than being used."
A father usually sleeps later because one child is in college and the other can drive himself, yet he rose early to make breakfast to fuel his son. He drew inspiration from Deven Morgan to both properly feed his son for a long day and to build momentum for his own tasks. Better sleep over consecutive nights increased his productivity. He recalls youthful capacity for long days of school, yard work and sports and contrasts that with current reduced energy likened to an aging iPhone. He finds fulfillment supporting his son through packed days and wonders how much time remains in his current role while hoping for assistance to regain lost velocity.
