🛌
Might sound like the most obvious thing in the world but over the past month i’ve attempted to get as much sleep as possible and it’s changed my life. I thought i could run on 6 hours. I can not. Sometimes you’re an 8 hour person. You need to own that. I am happier, quicker, more positive. Yeah maybe I am missing out on anything cool happening between the hours of 10:30pm and 6:30am midweek. But who cares!!! I am rested!

recently i realized i don’t need as much sleep as i thought
i feel totally fine with 7ish when previously i was convinced i needed more in the 8-10 range
i wake up feeling tired either way so why not get a few hours back in my day?

Last year in college I got in to the really bad habit of sleeping like 5 hours every night, which to me is the bare minimum for me to be a functioning human. Now that I have tried to prioritize sleep, I find that I‘m more focused in class and more focused on finishing assignments concisely so I can hit the hay. Lowkey recommend, but I also don’t feel like 6 hours is that bad if that’s working out for you.

Make everything as easy for future you as possible. This might sound silly but it’s all about harnessing current time and energy and distributing it to future you who will be tired/lazy. For example, I make breakfast the night before so that in the morning it’s not as hard to get up at regimented times and start my day. I signed up for a gym that I have to walk past to go to work so I have no excuse not to go in. I’ll block my calendar out weeks in advance so I know exactly when I should be doing personal work/not.
Lowering the barrier was the only thing I found that helps me stay strict to the lifestyle I wanted. Otherwise it was way too easy for me to blow it all off.

In an age where we ‘make’ so much stuff to live as content for entertainment I’ve been enjoying making purely for learning. An artist I want to learn about? I’ll make a video about it. An old film process I’m interested in? I’ll write a page or two on it. Learning through making has me much more engaged with the topic I’m interested in as well as allows me to create stuff without the burden of worrying if it’s good. It’s like adult homework. And you can do it about anything. Highly recommend.
