I should add that I had a bit of a crestfallen feeling for the first few days of minicamp, since being more efficient and organized feels like a really lame superpower. I expected a bit more of it to be about choosing awesome goals. But then I realized that I'd always be grateful for a genie that magically gave me an extra hour, and I shouldn't look a gift genie in the mouth, just because it wasn't magic.

So, now that I've got more time, it's up to me to do superheroic things with it. Once I finish my Halloween costume.

This. Holy cow, I worried I was the only one who felt a bit of a letdown during minicamp and then started noticing afterwards that my ways of dealing with problems had suddenly become more effective.
