Send us Fan Mail Field Notes: What Do H.A.R.D. Things Actually Means Most people are doing pretty well in most areas of their life. But there's usually one arena where they're getting crushed, and it's quietly dragging everything else down. The guy killing it at work who hasn't been to the gym in two years.
