Earlier quoted context omitted.

What do you mean by work on them?

Any action taken to mobilize or stretch the muscles of the hamstring. Or were you asking for methods specifically?

I'm not really sure lol, I took "work on them" as meaning either work them out or stretch regularly. Didn't think you meant both.

I had a baby this year and my life is mostly out of control. My 202 goals are: * Get back into the game. Babe is already sleeping 6 hours so I have no excuses. * Start being more organized. Put down what should be done and when. * Lose the baby weight. Looking at the mirror gives me anxiety.

Everything you typed is how I feel. 2020 will be great.

Hi, I'm not that great with goals, but let me write down a few:

- stay at the same workplace for 1 year, OR - start startup #2, OR - be accepted for the London School of Economics, or a comparable degree, OR - start a VC analyst job

- work on my reading list, finish the books I have at home. 2 books / month

- work out! I've put in less effort than I could have, and I'm in the golden years of my life (26). I'd like to be hot, at least for a short while.

- finish my BA, which I've been postponing for too many years

- I'm pretty happy with my mental health so far, but I don't want to slip back

- kiss a panda

- fuck around with investing

- travel to two countries I haven't been before

- create 12 very high quality youtube videos on development economics
