Do you have any good habits or routines you found impactful in improving your health?

I started doing 20 min/day running first thing in the morning. I used to run a lot but havent at all in a few years. I'm on my 2nd week and I plan to keep it up for a while. Eventually Id like to add a few lifts or some yoga in during the week but I need a program otherwise it ends up sporadic, which makes it more inefficient and easier to skip (time constraints)

Figured id crowdsource for other good habits.

I highly recommend reading Atomic habits. It has helped me a lot to start and maintain good habits.😊

I found that focusing on my sleep routine and sleep quality has made a huge impact on how I feel throughout the day. I read Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, started tracking my sleep with the Apple Watch app SleepWatch, and prioritized the following:
- Going to bed at the same time every night
- Waking up at the same time every morning
- Limited screen time prior to bed (I replaced screen time with reading or yin yoga)
- 8 hours of sleep per night

One thing that made a huge difference in the beginning of my exercise journey - change into gym clothes as quickly as possible. Put your clothes/shoes on, and all of a sudden you’ve already completed the first part of the activity. (This is also covered in Atomic Habits)

So get off work, change into gym clothes immediately more or less so you're obligated to it. I like it. I may even change at the office when I go in...

Tried this in the past with WFH and ended up napping in gym clothes 😄
