I think we underestimate the power that our minds have over our bodies. Why else do they have placebo pills?
You can fix half of all technology problems by turning the device off and on again.
But when that doesn’t work and you call repair helpers, why does your appliance suddenly work when they show up?

Never look at email before taking a nap. It may keep you awake. And don’t deal with tech support on the phone just before bedtime.
I do some of my best work on subjects I know nothing about. It reminds me of a history teacher who substituted in my algebra class. She knew nothing about algebra so crammed all evening for the subject. She gave a terrific lesson that I could understand. She started on the same level we did.
