All starts with My evening routine
- No morning alarm - allow circadian rhythm to do its thing, usually awake by 6am (My 9 to 5 (bed to wake))
- Sleep toggle Apple Shortcut
- Start with a few Ankis sitting up in bed right when I wake up
- My meditation - best in the morning when the mind is more malleable
- 16oz of water - dehydrated from sleep
- 10g of creatine (with the water) - proven cognitive benefits
- Walk (to work on weekdays) and sunlight for 20mins - blood flow and brain activation
- No workout - body’s physical peak is in the afternoon
- 1hr post-sleep: Coffee - allows the bodies natural chemicals to peak first, then layer
- 1h 15m-4h post-sleep: Deep work - optimal time for heavy cognitive, focused thinking
- No reactive stuff (notifications, scrolling) until 4h post-sleep - Curate your own attention. Not missing anything pre 9-10am anyway
