A gift for a retired friend

Derek Sivers…smart guy. Helpful, down-to-earth insights. Shared freely right here in excerpts from his book, Hell Yeah or No–what’s worth doing.
I ran across this one today: Procrastination hack: change “and” to “or”
He saw that he was applying too many ‘musts’ to his list before making time to exercise. Result: Not enough fitness sessions. ‘And’ to ‘or’ made all the difference.
As retired guys, it seems like a good idea to set aside too many conditions and cut ourselves a little slack.
Give it a try.
Yep, thank God for email connections. Question: If I don’t respond to this, will the U.N. (or, more precisely, the ‘United Nations Organization’) assume I’m dead? I’d better clear that up.
I’m also wondering if someone with ‘Oliver’ in the email address really IS all that interested in my welfare.
But hold on now…he’s with the United Nations, so of course he’s concerned.
What makes Oliver think I might be splayed across the recliner with some air fryer infomercial blaring at me? Have I given off a ‘near-death’ vibe lately?
But really, how DARE Google question the validity of this message…
It’s not as if anyone would send anything illegitimate via the Internet, would they?
