Do not eat before cognitively demanding work such as consulting or podcasting, or before performance-demanding tasks such as missions; eat afterward instead to maintain clarity and avoid feeling slowed down.

“podcast. I'm not eating before a podcast, before I'm recording a podcast, I'm not eating. Cause I don't want to have a bunch of food in my stomach. I want to, you get a certain level of mental clarity when you haven't eaten a bunch of food.”
