This is Questlove and I don't believe in time.

I don't know why it's 6:23, but literally

when I open my eye, it's like Groundhog's Day,

I spend the first 45 minutes writing down what my dream was.

I can only retain that information for maybe 15 minutes,

so I do a very weird, just non sequitur, random,

I don't know why, but trains are always in my dream.

I'll spend the next 60 to 90 minutes meditating.

After that meditation, ill spend the other hour writing

the 50 things that I wanna accomplish in a day,

I feel like writing down, it processes it

my wishlist, ill say that my feet hit the floor

or my answering text message or emails until

At the time, I was quarantining on a friend's farm,

My next step would have been getting my 10,000 steps in.

So, I'll listen to comedy records, podcasts as well.

There's a really cool podcast by a guy named Open Mike Eagle

named, it's called "What Had Happened Was".

It's his first season is super-producer, Prince Paul.

so I guess you could say that the Questlove Industry

I'll usually do like my first three glasses of water

The first thing I have in the morning is a Mark Hyman

That's, that's kind of my first meal of the day.

I don't have to spend hours on my afro anymore

But, you know, my hair's still there and I'm still me.

So usually, by 12:30 I'm in the car headed to 30 Rock

at a certain time when I go to that building.

There's another therapeutic process I do called pruning.

I challenge myself everyday to discover 100 songs

Ill just pick one song and then you'll scroll

to the bottom, and it'll say "listeners also listen to,"

And then you pick that song and then you scroll

I call it pruning because I will compartmentalize

all those 100 songs to where they should go.

But this should go in my driving mix in the daytime,

but this is my driving mix for the nighttime,

but this is my Sunday afternoon driving mix.

Music is also like a day to night thing to me,

and figuring out which key a song is in, and all that stuff.

and that's where I'll see the cast of "SNL"

and the rest of the "Tonight Show" people.

So, there's always a moment where, you know,

they don't come back in ten minutes with your result,

So, when that's gone, ill go to my office.

you know, whatever adjustments we have to make for that day.

And usually, I'm disturbed by the knock of,
