My name is Dan and I live in St. Louis, MO. I am a pastor, author, and coach. What I'm looking for most out of this is to become more intentional and proactive. I am currently finishing up treatment for Stage 4 Lymphoma (waiting on the PET Scan on Aug. 13). I do not want to go back to work and fall into the same trap of unfocused, unintentional work. I want to work with my brain, not against it. I want to be present, not scattered.

Section 2 of the Operating Manual just explained my evenings to me. The chips, the endless scroll until 23:30, the sense that night is the only time that's mine - none of it was weakness. It was my nervous system grabbing the fastest lever it had. And the calmest three hours I've had lately turned out to be the exact recipe I've been ignoring.
