There are certainly things where you may want to do that. There are plenty of messages where I do want to get back to the person right away, but once you let go of that&#8230;it\u2019s very liberating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61LFFVG1orL._SL1000_.jpg\" width=\"432\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B002IY65V4\/cooltools-20\" target=\"_blank\">Zeo Sleep Manager<\/a>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0$330<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Zeo is tracking your brainwave activity, at least to the extent that they can on a very rudimentary device.

It works so well and I use it as much as two or three times a day now. It makes it so easy to eat really healthily and I found myself blending vegetables in a way that keeps all the fiber which is much better for you. I\u2019ve just felt more energy and I felt that the quality of the food I\u2019ve been eating has gone up from this.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Rojas, Tech Entrepreneur and Cohost of MVP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1559],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23097"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23097"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23097\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30758,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23097\/revisions\/30758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
