What's the best morning habit/routine you were able to adopt?

Love my current routine and it's doing wonders for my health, both phisically and mentally (or at least I believe it is, it might be a placebo):

  1. waking up every day at the same time
  2. bathroom (toilet, teeth, washing face)
  3. glass of water with a multivitamin and omega-3 (I'm vegan and this is so much easier than finding food that has all that)
  4. playing with the cat (I have no coice in this, she says it must be so, it is, therefore, so)
  5. ~15min of yoga
  6. ~10min of meditation

And then it's coffee and work time. I've been on this routine for about 2 years now and I feel amazing since starting with it.

Most underrated Discworld quotes

This one from Pyramids:

The fact is that camels are far more intelligent than dolphins. They are so much brighter that they soon realised that the most prudent thing any intelligent animal can do, if it would prefer its descendants not to spend a lot of time on a slab with electrodes clamped to their brains or sticking mines on the bottom of ships or being patronized rigid by zoologists, is to make bloody certain humans don't find out about it. So they long ago plumped for a lifestyle that, in return for a certain amount of porterage and being prodded with sticks, allowed them adequate food and grooming and the chance to spit in a human's eye and get away with it.

Always loved the idea that animals are just making idiots of us and using us for their own purposes.

Can't Sleep, things going to shit and I don't know what to do

I have two tools that I use to fall asleep, and they have been working pretty flawlessly for me over the years. The primary one is reading a book in bed, when I'm off to sleep. Usually it's not a lot of reading, I get pretty sleepy after 10-15 pages. The other is supplementary to the reading and that's imagining some fiction scenario in my head. For me, it's some simple SciFi or fantasy scene or whatever and I try to visualize the characters, scenery, etc. It's usually just enough to occupy my brain enough so that it doesn't do its thing of running around wherever it wants to, and just not quite enough to give it fuel for active engagement. No idea if either might work for you, but maybe give it a go if you haven't already.

Comfort games?

Used to be Test Drive: Unlimited, then the second one. After that, I moved to The Crew 1 and later 2. A big open world and car/motorcycle to ride around is unmatched when it come to just kicking back and relaxing in a game.
