Recent personal system changes that have helped a lot physically and mentally - wake up/look at sunlight (Huberman) -> seriously, this helps. - one or two heavy weights sessions a week - focused long form reading time on weekends - try and avoid mindless scrolling at night time (much better sleep)

+1 to sunlight when wake up (no phone), and long form reading right before bed (physical magazine or book). Common thread is keeping your phone / screens out of the bedroom.

Can you elaborate on #1? Does this just mean you go outside? Does sitting in a room with natural light work?

For me, ~daily exercise first thing in AM has helped a lot (mostly because it forces me to sleep at a reasonable hour).

These are 👌 On a similar note, I have added a 5min stretch + Athletic Greens the moment I wake up and it has made a huge change on how I start my day.

as i've rather recently implemented point 1 and 4 i can tell from my own experience it helps a lot! working on the reading one. i usually wake up far before sunrise and then forget to step outside once it's up but aside works pretty well 😆

Sleep, water, work out, some mindfulness and decent food discipline.. ..is all it takes.. but the hardest part for me has always been food!

These are solid. I moved my phone from my bedroom and increased sleep quality dramatically.
