Routines
- A “digest” journal I write once a week. I send an email to myself that summarizes my week and have a Gmail filter to label and skip the inbox.
- Sauna twice a week, usually Wednesday and once during the weekend.
- Every month I setup goals and/or things I want to accomplish for that month. I write this on my whiteboard. Most of my goals are “system” oriented that require a daily habit that I measure at the end of each day.
- Sudarshan Kriya as a meditation practice.
Morning Ritual
- On certain days, I’ll drink coffee (Bulletproof beans) with MCT Oil, L-Theanine, and Ashwaganda Power. This seems to be the most effective “nootropic” blend for me.
