# cat /proc/device-tree/model

Harry’s Rules
So I just finished reading Younger Next Year (thanks Craig!) and its advice is basically “do heaps of exercise”. I thought I might list Harry’s Rules:
- Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life.
- Do serious aerobic exercise four days a week for the rest of your life.
- Do serious strength training, with weights, two days a week for the rest of your life.
- Spend less than you make.
- Quit eating crap!
- Care.
- Connect and commit.
