| Started to struggle towards the end of the week. Morning runs plus with my bike commute to coworking plus strength training plus volleyball and hiking on the weekend is starting to wear me out. Need to get better at keeping stress low to improve sleep quality. High levels of output require quality rest, and I'm falling short there. | |

Was fairly easy to stick to for the most part, I find these rigorous challenges are much easier when I stay sober throughout. Key insights: 1) Tracking my actual productive work hours with the stopwatch on my phone, and forcing myself to pause it anytime I want to do something unproductive is a very effective way to keep myself focused throughout the day. 2) 8 solid hours of productive work are VERY difficult to complete in a single day. When I have any calls scheduled or other engagements it's nearly impossible. It's made more difficult by the fact that I have a strenuous commute into and home from coworking by bicycle. 3) I feel much better with this elevated level of physical activity, from a broader life happiness point of view. In particular, I think getting my mile run in every morning is one of the more key positive changes. There are significant biological reasons for this, but I believe the biggest is simply getting outside early in the fresh air and getting some sun on my skin. This has useful benefits for circadian rhythm and is more evolutionarily normal than how most people live. |
