No music & pods during workouts > music & pods during workouts.
A few years ago, I went to the gym and forgot my headphones.
I was so frustrated, I almost skipped my workout.
It was then that I realized how dependent I was on media — ridiculous frustration was my withdrawals.
From that day forward, I started working out without any music or pods.
I went from frustration -> creativity.
Rather than flood my brain with other peoples' lyrics & ideas, my brain was free to form its own.
And working out supercharged it.
Having "shower thoughts" during my workouts is now one of the highlights of my day.
In 2025, I'm embracing more silence and less media during tasks...
So I can hear the chatter in my head.
It's amazing what comes to mind when you give it space.
