What do you do to improve productivity, performance, & quality of life?
For example, I start off my day with 3 sets of max-rep pushups immediately after waking up. This gets my blood circulating and removes any lingering drowsiness.
I also take a daily fish oil supplement for the myriad benefits (Google it, if you have to).
What do you do?
- thewordpainter 15y agowhen i'm working from home, i love breaking up my late morning with exercise right before lunch. it allows me to take a step back from the morning work & clear my head. also doesn't hurt for staying in shape! as for the daily fish oil intake, i am a big fan of tuna fish in oil...if that counts for anything (who says it should be 'ramen-profitable?' tuna fish profitable is more healthy & tasty anyway!)

- namank 15y agoDo something new...keep learning. I got far too comfortable in my everyday life. So I joined academia and WOW! These days I'm actually working hard to keep my supervisor impressed - this hasn't happened in a while. I'm outside my comfort zone - its a new feeling, its a welcome feeling. And now for the answer you were looking for: I start working as soon as I wake up. Seems to be the best time to concentrate.
- latch 15y agoI answer the same way whenever this comes up, apologies for that, but I really think the broad answer for anyone is a simple 3+2 answer: The three fundamental things you need to do is: eat well, exercise and sleep enough. Sleep 8 hours (yes, this varies from person to person) every night. Eat well, and get educated on nutrition. Don't believe the labels+marketing - just keep it fresh and simple. Exercise every day - it doesn't have to be anything intense...a 45 minute walk or a casual bike ride is fine. The +2 are the two things you can do to have enough time to do the three above: don't watch tv, kill the long commute.

For me, it's getting up early, thinking about things I'm grateful for while I drink my coffee, then working out, then meditating, then hitting the day.
