While I woke up at 4 AM this Sunday morning unassisted, I knew that I needed more recovery time and fought my desire to work out. I love that space of my day and it's hard to give it up!

It's funny: sometimes when we back off from something for a time, we forget how much we enjoy it. How do we leave it in the first place? In this context, I'm sure it was a late night followed by another—maybe another The Office marathon via DVD, one thing supersedes another just because of the linearity of time. Another example: while I love audiobook consumption through Libby, lately, I've been listening/living in music.

Of course, one could argue that nothing shuts down one of my workouts like an audiobook, so perhaps this isn't a neutral outcome.

Speaking about music motivation, I've been listening to Jason Bourne soundtracks to liven up an otherwise mundane existence. I've always felt that way about those films ever since The Bourne Identity was released. Do anything and it becomes epic when listening to a Bourne score. You'll be flush with resolve and will be thinking 10 moves ahead. Try it! Even walking in a store! You might even glance at your six.

Last week, I was caught up in the last soundtrack, Jason Bourne including another remix of the Moby classic. While I plan on linking content that opens up a door into my work that motivates me, I'll include my Bourne playlist.
