Cardio training

Brad runs most mornings and writes about it as thinking time, not training time. Thirty minutes of steady aerobic effort with no podcast on, no metrics to chase. The point is the cadence and the space it can give you.

His groundedness work names presence as a daily practice rather than a state. Fifteen minutes sitting with no agenda, no productivity attached. The aim is the practice, not what comes up during it.

Intention setting

Brad's framing on intention is shorter than most. Pick the two or three things today actually needs, not the ten you wish it did. Patience as a practice means letting the rest wait until tomorrow.
