I have a baby coming, so I've slowly been teaching my body to work during the day, and to sleep at night. I haven't reached perfection, but I've made incremental progress. Here's what I have so far. 0. Don't work at night. For me, this is a practice in necessity, when my son is born I want to spend a lot of time with him. So i've been practicing on losing that time. The benefit is it's really made me focus on packing as much stuff into my "productive" hours as possible. 1. Stop drinking caffeine at night. Sleep is important. 2. Stop drinking alcohol on weekdays. Mornings are important. 3. Eat a balanced diet (i used to live off easy to obtain tasty food) Nothing is free, that means if you save time by eating fast food you'll pay somewhere else. usually your health. Being unhealthly leads to feeling lethargic. That's unproductive. 4. Before i get to work in the morning I have a realistic to do list of what I want to accomplish. On the drive home I re-evaluate how realistic it was. Since time is important, I want to maximize the return on investment for each minute. I make that decision in the morning, and I stick to it as much as is possible. Just like investing, you need to have a strategy, and you need to stick with it. Don't throw good money after bad though. 5. I keep a detailed log of what i'm doing as i'm doing it. This solves two problems, first it let's me pick up where I left off after distractions come, and two it provides a good way to remember things. 6. Nip things in the butt early. I used to say "this item is a low priority, i'll let it go, and do it later". But when it comes up later, even if it's not a big deal, it means someone is going to interrupt you. That makes it more expensive. The cost of that issue is now <time time to fix it> + <time to track that it exists> + <talking to someone about it> + <time lost on something more important when someone comes up to you to ask about a weird issue>
