You gotta get sun in the morning to start your day right, then get sun in the middle of the day (peak sun), and then get sun as its setting. This is important to tell your eyeballs and also brain when to be awake and when to start getting sleepy. It’s been nice spending a lot of time outside (as a street dude doing 1000 things in one day) lately, and I’m thinking in the winter I might start hitting the tanning beds in order to preserve my base layer of melanin.
It’s also good to go to sleep at the same time every night. If you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every night, it’ll really help a lot. Tough to do if you’re chilling, but life is often about tolerating contradictions.
Also, how about this new Drake called Circadian Rhythm?

a little bit of sunshine in the morning keeps your circadian rhythm regular & a good read in the AM will wake your brain up :)

ok so we all know about the thing with sunlight right when you wake up but when it’s cold and you don’t want to go outside that’s fine…just put your face as close to the window as possible for a few minutes. The circadian rhythm and such

For me, I know that I am going to get the most stuff done when I first wake up. I don’t even do the things that are going to distract me like my phone or sitting down until I finish. I also unintentionally created incentive for myself because I don’t play my little word games until get a bunch of stuff done that I need to 🤪
Everyone has a time during the day where they have the most energy and focus. Figure out when that is for you and try to work with that. I know for me that the longer the day goes on the less likely I am to do those things, so I plan around it. Some people actually can only work like that at like, 8 PM. Maybe you’re nuts and work really well after lunch!!!
Anyway, TLDR, pay attention to your natural rhythm and work with it.

I’ve been blown away by rewatching Family Guy Season 4. It’s really impressive, but falls off hard about 10 episodes into Season 5. There’s a subversive and unpredictable quality to these episodes that’s unlike any other show I’ve seen. I had these all recorded on my TiVo as a child and would watch them over and over, so it’s part of a dangerous regressive pattern (see my earlier recommendation of “chilling”), but I think these are some of the most creative episodes of comedy television ever made. They’re bursting with energy and the pacing is mind boggling, joke after joke after joke. I had forgotten how smart the show used to be. In my head it was kind of a dumb show for middle schoolers and adults with tattoos who work at vape shops, but I was wrong, I’ll admit it.

was about 2 in the morning, patrick and I were talking about how we hadn't had it in years. I told him I would get it sometimes as a kid, not too often, it always felt like a treat. so I opened up doordash and we just went for it. biscuits were the best part. chicken kinda got cold.

I never knew about chilling until I was 26 years old. Well, I’d dabbled in chilling, but this year, after I decided to become a bohemian novelist whose primary goal in life isn’t to produce anything of value, but rather to trick people into reading a thing I wrote several years ago, chilling has become an essential part of my life. I particularly enjoy doing 1000 things in one day on Instagram, like this Druski video. I’ve had a lot of days where I’ve done 1000 things in one day. A couple weeks ago I went to all five boroughs of New York City in one day, and did activities in each—but that’s a story for a different time.
