Its been six months at my first coding job , initially I enjoyed working at job , grabbing lot of junk food , caffeine everyday and totally ignorant toward my health . Then bad things started to happen , due to bad eating habbits and seating in bad posture for long hours I back started to pain . Then only after I realized that maintaining health is foremost.
Then after I started to eating healthy meals and started to workout and jog daily and from last month I am feeling more energitc ever .
One thing I like to take from this article is "NO SCREEN DAY" sometime i feel irritating in front of screen. Thanks @duomly for sharing this great artice
Re: Reading. I don't read off a phone or tablet before bed either. However, in addition to actual books, dedicated e-readers that user e-ink don't have the drawbacks of the phone/tablet displays and are very much like reading on paper (I've had a few people disagree, but they've never used an e-ink reader, soooo... sticks out tongue).
The 8 hours of sleep, that I can rarely do. I have no problem falling asleep, but if I wake up around 3 or 4am and my problems pop up in my head, I'm toast.
Great read! I've been doing almost all of these but I've recently started with no screen days although sometimes I decide to try to "build" something in the garage and I end up having to go to pinterest to lookup some plans but if I plan a head good enough, I can print all that stuff out before hand. Music is also HUGE, I need my down tempo tracks while I work! Thanks for sharing.
As far as music goes. When I'm in flow, it doesn't matter what music I'm listening to. Then something snaps me out of it and I realized that SoundCloud has started giving me heavy dark synth or metal because that's what I listen to when off work. And I'm like "time to casually lower the volume a bit...."
Nice post! Taking a short break during work is something that I'm practicing. And now I know how other people said it actually helps make you focus later. I do it by organizing everything from work with project management software called Quire and syncing it to my calendar. I also schedule the breaks. I now consider using the Pomodoro technique. Have you tried it? If yes, which tool are you using?
Wow, I personally feel I should have that "No Screen Day" per week
Some people freak out when I go offline (i.e. I don't answer e-mails, texts, etc). They don't understand that I would go offline since I'm a computer guy.
Aha quite natural, actually the thought of it creeps me out nowadays, but I feel it is one of the essentials to see that side of life :D

Good article though
Sleep faster. 4-6 hours are enough 😁😁😁
Sleep fast and break things.
"No screen day". That's a good idea. I will follow it.
Great tips for increasing productivity.
