while it's too soon to tell how big an impact the workshop will have on my life

Would you be willing to follow up in, say, two years and tell us how well these changes lasted? If you commit now, and use Boomerang to remind yourself, I would be grateful.

I anticipate a big impact within a year and have used Boomerang to remind myself to do this accordingly. (Edit: it's worth mentioning that part of why I anticipate a big impact is that I'm local to Berkeley and have more direct access to CFAR than most.)
