A highly functional schedule:
1) Sunlight & movement
2) Task completion
3) Thoughtful, reflective
4) Repeat 1-3
5) Sleep
And of course nourish, hydrate, relate & avoid energy sinks i.e., don’t mix states of mind across above steps; practice functional compartmentalization.

Ann Shulgin died this morning at the age of 91. Her writing made PiHKAL and TiHKAL more than books about chemistry and psychopharmacology, she made them into great love stories. I know that she believed consciousness survives death, I hope she's right and rejoining Sasha.
