Getting enough good quality sleep. No amount of stimulants, productivity systems or external motivation can overcome a tired mind and body. You will be trying to ice skate uphill.

A great night's sleep really is the best drug in the world. I've found that even small quantities of alcohol can interrupt my sleep to the point that I'm aware of it the next day.

I've started to cut the wine with dinner and feel much more productive throughout the next day.

Good quality sleep is hard to come by. I’ve found alcohol abstinence throughout the week to be similarly rewarding.

Try alcohol abstinence for a prolonged period of time. I am 6 weeks in and it is awesome.
