Well based on how I spend my weekends where I'm fully recharged and energetic to get shit done, I assume it's the lack physical energy. Cause when I have the energy and mental power I do the things that I want to do.

One difference is that if I actually had a real deadline I would deliver no matter how tired/exhausted I am, but I'm not sure that's sustainable.

Thank you for your suggestions. Yeah, as soon as our offices were open I started going in. I'm a huge fan of having that separation, getting out of my apartment, and in general seeing other people in the office. Not deliberately planning your time is a great idea.

That's a good suggestion, I'm gonna take a shower and force myself to just lay on the couch or bed without any devices.

In the US coffee shops close around 5-6 PM ish. Also do you get a good night sleep drinking coffee that late in the evenings?

Good point, I do try to eat a carb heavy meal the night before my workout days to have the glycogen stored in my muscles.

I'm actually going for my yearly physical and will ask for a blood work. I typically do that once every two years but doesn't hurt to check them again.

Thank you for that, I actually do most of those things and they have been helpful.

A couple of years ago I switched my workout routine to the first thing in the morning. While I don't like to be tired from that during the day, it's the only thing that has worked for me.

Do you think the workouts have a positive effect on your sleep quality?

Yeah, I broke my wrist as a kid rollerblading. I do think cycling is a much better activity in terms of minimizing injuries while building cardio.

Yeah, I've limited my caffeine consumption to only in the morning. I really envy friends who have the same type of demanding jobs and still have energy left for other things. They're probably genetically blissed and have more stamina.

Amen. I'm in my late 20s and I feel that. In college I used to be a bulldozer, and now I really feel the consequences of not eating healthy, sleeping well, drinking too much, etc right away. Have you found anything to make your sleep more restorative? It seems like as we age getting a good night sleep becomes harder.

Same, I did switch my workouts to early in the morning. Not ideal since I'm kinda tired all day but that's the only time that I have the energy to workout.

I'm just too mentally tired to even do that
