Great stuff.

For those further along the track, take the time to follow the tip about taking stock where you've come from. Ten years ago, I was a burnt-out wreck, barely able to peep from out under the bed covers, let alone hold a conversation.

Thanks for talking about this. I usually have days like this when I don't feel like doing anything like yesterday I did a thing I'm proud of.

Cool thanks I’ll take a look!
Great! worked for you. I get lost a lot even in work place will give it a try. :D
