Sample size of one caveat
Firstly, I think it is impractical to have consistent energy levels every day. IMO and experience, human beings operate in phases. There are days where I am ultra-productive, not even distracted by mails or messages and there are other days when I keep checking WhatsApp every minute. There are also days where I am not producing much but I am excited about something new in my field and on which I am reading. And so on - you get the drift.
Second, from an energy-diet linkage perspective, I've found that I am sharpest on days when I skip breakfast and snacks until late into the day (2-ish). I fathom this to be related to the absence of insulin spikes and the subsequent carb-induced inertia. This is a variant of intermittent fasting and it has clearly had an impact on my work productivity.
Curious to read others' experiences on this.
- ge96 10y agoThanks for your input. I understand the "productivity phases" just sucks when you don't have the luxury to say "Well I guess I'll take today off" though I guess really you can do that. But have things to do, yeah that's something I read about regarding the insulin spike.
