What Would Bernard Huang Tell Himself After Mosec and Food by People?

Bernard Huang would tell his 2013 self, the one just past Mosec and Food by People, to take better care of himself. He means more sleep, better food, and a stricter watch on what consumes his energy, including relationships and favors that are not the work. Everyone, he says, has a finite amount of energy in a day, and a yes hides its cost. His example is coffee with someone he is not close to. He accepts because he feels he should help, then leaves knowing the hour was wasted. An all-nighter has the same shape. The extra hours are paid back when he is useless afterward. Stop taking those meetings, he says.
