A batch of the best highlights from what Niels's read, .
The score is a hint, not a measurement. What you can genuinely track sits underneath it, and three things are enough for that.
• Look at the raw values: nightly HRV and resting heart rate appear as a number in almost every app. Compare them against your own history, not against a norm.
• Learn your range: write the values down for a few weeks. Then you know how much they normally swing for you, and you only react once one leaves that band for several days.
• Ask four questions: sleep, fatigue, stress, muscle soreness, each 1 to 7. Thirty seconds of effort. Background on this: [RPE, the marker no watch measures](https://www.thefitfuturist.com/en/training-analysis/physiological-foundations-ai-training/).
That leaves the question that actually comes up in practice: what do you do when the number and how you feel point in different directions?
Is There a Readiness Score? Yes, Fourteen of Them

Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.
Meditate at Work: Be mindful of your workplace. Keep interacting with colleagues and responding to emails in a patient and calm manner. Practice responding to a situation rather than reacting. When you do this, your colleagues and mail recipients will also be able to experience your state of mind. Contemplate on your thoughts, words and action while at work. Desk breathing is a common technique used by people with a sedentary lifestyle. Even without crossing your legs or closing your eyes, you can manage to switch off amidst your busy schedule. Just focus on the tip of your nose and inhale/ exhale slowly. Listen to the sound of your breathing and try to concentrate on the various parts of your body. This technique will help you unwind and will clear your mind of the mess.
