having at least 10hrs of sleep
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.
you can get groggy, if you oversleep.
The aim which is hard to achieve
Riding my bike to work
I have a few things I've picked up recently.
- 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
- 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
- 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
Is the ice cream just a treat, or...?
Yup post ride ice cream to as a treat to cool down and replenish sugar after sweating a bunch. I otherwise avoid treats/excessive sugar, but something about ice cream after an intense workout just is amazing
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. It is actually the best thing every to do in the morning. A glass of water. I read some articles about that it helps nicely, softly to wake up the body and also to prepare the stomach. And obviously to be hydrated. I do the same. Glass of water (quite big one) + Vitamins C, Zinc
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 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.
Four days in a week in a row or you take in between some rest days?
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
Lift weights, lots of water and protein.
I am not needlessly cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals living in atrocity several times a day.
Username doesn't check out.
for every 15 minutes I work, I take a 60 minute break.
Every email I send means a half hour break
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.
I drink water
I greatly reduced how much news I consume per day and it's done wonders for my mental health.
I chose 2 sources of news that I trust and then I block news everywhere else in my life. Every morning I read the news from the two sources I picked and that is all the news I will consume for the day.
If I notice that I am consuming news elsewhere I will block/ignore/hide that source.
As an example, if I notice a community here post too much news I will just block it. I use Discord, so if one of the servers I'm in has any political or news channels I will mute them, etc etc.
Doing this, I find that the news I read is more relevant to me because the sources I chose are local news networks. In addition, because I am not getting news from social media, the news I read is much less sensationalized.
It makes the news that I read boring and I think that is a good thing.
As I have to go back to the office I am reading a book now in the bus. I also try to avoid news but sometimes, it is a bit hard as I am not aware if something has changed. It happened to me. For example: the price of the bus ticket went up. I just discovered it when I got in.... :( So, I filter.
What are the two sources?
sleep
One of my favourite activity
Serious upvote here. This is a game changer, it's right in front of our noses, and it's free.
Hardest part is figuring out how to make yourself actually sleep - just lying down in the bed isn't enough.
I sleep and eat almost every day.
Some people are able to sleep at the same time everyday and eat three times a day. I've never understood how.
Routine. If you do it everyday for a while your body get used to it
Edit: that's what they say

I hug a tree. I dunno if it makes life noticeably better but it’s a vibe. I lost quite a few trees in a storm last year and feel like I’ve under appreciated them for way too long. No more!
My wife does the same, and after we tried shoots the first time, I do the same now. Lost our second biggest tree last year in a storm, fell due to to much water, so the roots came with it, but it happened where we don't need to trim it, so now it's just laying there. We'll let nature take it's course. And we have enough firewood.
Edit: shrooms dammit.
Masturbate.
Lol Also But, with a help, sometimes, it is more fun
I read an interview with Jenna Jameson a million years ago. The interviewer asked what was in the future. She answered something about her career and then, "make myself cum every day, whether I needed it or not", and I think that is just about the greatest advice for anyone. I've rarely missed a day in at least 20 years.
The realest life hack.
I take 100mg of welbutrin every morning. Seems to do a decent job of making my life better
dance
listen to music
make my home a better place
To be honest even my go tos are not working very well. Walking, bathing, nature.
