For me part of motivation is reducing how much is required by certain activities. Making a routine and developing habits is a good way to do this. Big items to automate: - Food: I have roughly the same meals a couple of days in a row. This makes cooking easier and takes the overhead of figuring out what to eat when I get hungry. - Exercise: I got for a run in the middle of the day before my meeting. Having it in the middle of the day means there is not a lot of time to second guess. It creates time limit in my morning cause I want to be at a good stopping point before I run. Also, it’s a nice break from sitting at a screen. -Sleep: I get in bed 1h before I actually sleep. I sit there and read. Before that I brush my teeth. Before that I do the dishes and clean the kitchen. It’s a routine that helps me get in the right mindset for rest.
