What is that one habit that changed your life?

Going to the gym. Very underrated life lack, I’m less depressed that I was a couple of years back, reversed at least 3 years of age and helped me deal with chronic back pain by strengthening the lower back muscle. Only wish I knew this a decade back.

No fap, no sugar. Focus max

Saying YOLO or IT IS WHAT IT IS.

I was going to make bad decisions anyway, but at least this way I will have peace.

Understanding others perspective before jumping to any conclusion.

Underrated statement but simplifies most of the difficult situations.

Waking up early

Increased breaks while working, but used Pomodoro technique while working. I’m more productive and relaxed!

Before I used to work from 10AM to 8PM with maybe 1 hour of break for lunch. I used to do a lot of context switching and didn’t have a system to work on things.

Switched this up before 6 months. Now I start at 10, take a break between 2-4PM, work till 6 and then work from 11-12 to prepare my task list.

I have a list of things in my backlog. I pick up only one or two things in a day. At 10AM, I break down all tasks and by 10:30 work begins. I set a timer for 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute break. At the end of 25 minutes, I take a break no matter what.

After 2 hours (4-splits of 25+5 mins), I take a 15 minute break. Works wonders.

Have rejected ad hoc calls, responding to “hi’s” and “urgent” matters are done only on a case by case basis.

This has improved output, peace of mind and I’m able to cut off and focus on non-work things too!

Walking 1 hr everyday and simply listening to myself.

Stopped consuming any bs gyan of so called influencers

Stopped consuming any form of caffeine.

Gym. When I joined it, I had no interest in body building getting shredded. Joined only for improving mental health. Physique is just a side benefit
