      Bruh… If I get less than 7.5 hours sleep, I’m tired all day. But if I get more than 8.5 hours sleep, I’m also tired all day. There’s the magic window of time in the middle where I wake up relatively refreshed.

    I have a few things I’ve picked up recently.

    1. A couple of years ago I quit drinking coffee, so now I almost exclusively drink water. I find the water first thing in the morning is a brilliant way to wake up
    2. In the evenings I go for a bike ride, giving me some fresh air, sunlight and exercise. Some nights I go for a 20 mile intercity route, some nights I just do an easy 5 mile route in town
    3. After my bike ride I’ll eat some ice cream, shower, then relax with a book in bed (my phone stays on my dresser and out of reach from the bed) before going to sleep

    The right morning routine and evening routine really makes my days feel so much more fulfilling even if I haven’t been particularly productive that day

    I take 100mg of welbutrin every morning. Seems to do a decent job of making my life better

    I set aside 20 minutes in the morning to journal. It’s become sacred to me. It helps me clear my head and set my focus for the day.

    A shower in the evening.

    Riding the ebike to/from work instead of driving.

    I lift weights four days a week. It really has helped me with a lot of inflammation issues and I really have so much more energy. It’s not every day exactly, but four days a week I’m lifting for about an hour and a half each session. My life significantly improved after about the first six to eight weeks.

        I take off Wednesday and then every weekend. I appreciate sleeping in on Wednesday like you wouldn’t believe.

          Actually, having a Wednesday off is so great. You can go around the city, it is empty, you can enjoy the streets etc. I have always recommended my team to experience at least once a Wednesday off

    I’ve been doing some stretching in the morning, and I have a small weight set that I do a little bit of lifting with. As you get older your body no matter its condition will start to break down. It’s good to have a better pan and diet as you get older.

    I think of three things for which I am grateful every day. Reminders fire on all my devices and I don’t dismiss the reminder until I complete the task. That might be first thing after I get my senses after waking up. It might not be until 7pm. But I do it every day, almost without fail (unless ill or something).
