how do you get ready to be at your best?

Today, it starts FOR REAL. Agustin, Alissa & I go into the studio to make our first band EP.

We've spent so much time preparing for this -- picking a studio, a producer, losing sleep over how to raise money, writing / re-writing / arranging songs, arguing about songs, declaring our love for songs.

And now, in just over a week, we'll be DONE.

This is awesome, but it also makes me feel the realness of what's at stake.

     That's only a little bit of time to spend a lot of money and make something which I quite literally hope will transform my career -- will put this band on the map.

So in between sleeping 10 hours a night all weekend or downing Whole Foods smoothies and practicing, I've been wondering:

       WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET READY?

       What do you do -- not just in music, but in sports, board meetings, in LIFE -- to know you'll be at your creative and physical best when it counts???

       Pls pls send me your comments! We'll try some of these ideas.
