Then why don't you spend more time on finding tactics to increase your energy level? The eight you've listed seem pretty good, but surely they're just the tip of the iceberg.

That is, in fact, my new priority. :)

  • Doing hacker exercises every morning
  • Taking a cold shower every morning
  • Putting on pants
  • Lying flat on my back and closing my eyes until I consciously process all the things that are nagging at me at begin to feel more focused
  • Asking someone to coach me through getting started on something
  • Telling myself that doing something I don't want to do will make me stronger
  • Squeezing a hand grip exerciser for as long as I can (inspired by Muraven 2010; mixed results with this one)

You?

My interventions for energy are less creative: drink water, do jumping jacks, take drugs, etc.
