Well based on how I spend my weekends where I'm fully recharged and energetic to get shit done, I assume it's the lack physical energy. Cause when I have the energy and mental power I do the things that I want to do.
One difference is that if I actually had a real deadline I would deliver no matter how tired/exhausted I am, but I'm not sure that's sustainable.
Thank you for your suggestions. Yeah, as soon as our offices were open I started going in. I'm a huge fan of having that separation, getting out of my apartment, and in general seeing other people in the office. Not deliberately planning your time is a great idea.
I'm actually going for my yearly physical and will ask for a blood work. I typically do that once every two years but doesn't hurt to check them again.
A couple of years ago I switched my workout routine to the first thing in the morning. While I don't like to be tired from that during the day, it's the only thing that has worked for me.
Yeah, I've limited my caffeine consumption to only in the morning. I really envy friends who have the same type of demanding jobs and still have energy left for other things. They're probably genetically blissed and have more stamina.
Amen. I'm in my late 20s and I feel that. In college I used to be a bulldozer, and now I really feel the consequences of not eating healthy, sleeping well, drinking too much, etc right away. Have you found anything to make your sleep more restorative? It seems like as we age getting a good night sleep becomes harder.
Same, I did switch my workouts to early in the morning. Not ideal since I'm kinda tired all day but that's the only time that I have the energy to workout.
Honestly I didn't think showering to be so effective. Question for you, do you also shower in the morning? and if so do you shampoo/body wash in the evening? I already take a shower in the morning and kinda have dry skin, so I don't typically wash myself in the evening and just enjoy the water time.
So this is one thing I'm trying to tease out. Do I feel motivated because I'm well rested and have energy? Or is it the motivation that causes the energy?
From this morning I can say it's the former. I do feel super excited to work on my stuff, but just cant get myself to do them or start. Getting out of the bed this morning was tough
