Keep a clean house and your equipment in a good state of repair; your kitchen and bathroom with all of their associated appliances and plumbing are as important as your bedroom and office, and it is worth it to keep a cleaning and maintenance schedule you follow like clockwork. Get at least 8 hours of sleep, a physical at least once a year and see a dentist at least once a year. Cook your own food, or marry someone who will do it for or with you. If you drink any beverages routinely, invest in the equipment to do it yourself. I don’t care what tools you hack in, you know what you need better than I do, the only thing I will say on this topic is that for any task I use a computer for, I make sure that of my equipment, there is one canonical way to do it. If I want to set a timer, I use Siri. If I want to invoke a podcast, I use Siri. If I want to know the time, I look at my watch on my wrist, not on my phone. If I want to read something, it is either in Instapaper or iBooks, unless it is Wikipedia. Anything overtly mundane, I probably already automated. It’s not what you use, it’s how you use it, and I like things to be boring and predictable. I don’t ever want to be surprised.
