Brian Johnson shares a trail-run story: he stayed plugged into a 33-minute playlist through 30 minutes of movement, 15 minutes of mental work, 10 pull-ups, 100 burpees, and 1,000 meters of rowing. When his headphones unplugged, he noticed the disconnect immediately. The point is to build routines that keep you plugged in and catch yourself when you're not.

Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another heroic plus one. This morning I was on the trail listening to my 33 minute playlist of 11 of my favorite songs by my favorite band the Score while getting in my 30 minutes of movement and 15 minutes of math work. Bunch of links in there. I had just hammered out 10 pull ups and 100 burpees and a thousand meters of rowing. I pulled out my bat phone which I used to hit heroic targets and when I'm training and in deep work mode, target swipe, target swipe, target swipe. That's like me to have 51 targets hit by the time I come online en route to 101 targets for the day. 101 heroic targets a day truly do keep the Daimon in play folks. And as I was putting the old bat phone back into the old pocket, I missed. The phone fell to the ground and my old school corded headphones got disconnected and the music stopped. And that's when I knew I needed to create this plus one. You want to hear the music of life? Awesome. Stay plugged in, period. Want to more and more consistently show up as your best self. Awesome. Stay plugged in period. And perhaps most importantly to achieve that, notice when you're not plugged in and what you did to get disconnected, then do whatever you need to do to get plugged back in. All day, every day, especially today. Plus one plus one plus one. PS Desmond Tutu and Richard Rohr would agree. As they say, quote we are only the light bulbs and our job is just to remain screwed in pps. I've got a playlist that I've listened to hundreds and hundreds of times in the plus one. Check that out.
