To balance data filled days I get outside and move.
Running, my main and daily passion, has taught me to pursue small improvements over time, that consistency will drive results, and that getting started is often the biggest hurdle. When I'm on a trail my mantra is 'every step counts'. I bring that mentality in to all areas of my life.
Other ways I find joy include:
cooking for family and friends
live performances (a favorite is 'The magic parlor in Chicago')
reading and podcasts
making things (like Adirondack chairs)
exploring new places and trying new things
