I bombed today giving a short presentation.
Luckily, it was just a practice presentation. Still, it was weird. I completely missed one of the key points, and worse yet, instead of moving on anyway, I stopped and acknowledged the miss.
Very uncharacteristic for me. I love presenting and I’m pretty good at it. And I know this stuff cold. I was a little disturbed by it. Afterwards, running over it through my head, I couldn’t even get it right then.
I went and grabbed dinner and realized I hadn’t eaten in 10 hours.
After I ate, my mind was clear and clicking again.
It’s so easy for me to forget how much calories matter for clarity.
