It's a good list but my favorite quote from last week, on twitter no less, is instructive:

>>> "Fail fast" refers to your product, not your startup." - Justin Kan

18 months ago when I quit my job to join a new company as Co-Founder I had no intention whatsoever of failing and I still don't. It's not even an option. We did fail too slowly on the first rev of our first product and that was painful and expensive but we recovered.

Please stay healthy and learn to turn it off and sleep too. I strongly recommend quitting coffee altogether. It helps immensely to keep you on a good schedule.

Thanks for reading.

And really funny you say that RE failure... check out this tweet (of mine) from a few days ago before I wrote the post:
