My productivity hack? Exercise.

It's amazing what a good workout can do after a long day of work. The stress just melts away and i sleep like a baby!! Ready to rock and roll the next day. 😎

Don't you feel too burnt out to exercise after work, at least in the early stages?

@cst1992 I guess it depends on how physically exhausted i feel. If i'm too exhausted i just go right to bed, otherwise i exercise (running, etc.)

@Jop- walking doesn't count as exercise.

I run. I use to hate running, now I do about 20 miles in a good week.

It quiets the noise. I think clearly afterwards.

Running in the afternoon is like getting a second morning productivity rush (the first being my first coffee of the day).

...and then I sleep like a baby, which makes my mind even sharper the next day.

I didn't start running until I was 34, I really really really hated running. Then I finally eased into it, got lots of advice from r/running on reddit which helped my tubby ass tremendously, and lost over 50 pounds.

I'm 37 now and I have my life back. I beg all of you, *especially* you under 30 crowd, do this hard thing for yourself. Nothing is more rewarding.

Plus if you live longer you get to play more video games. :D

I totally agree—a good workout can reset both your mind and body; what kind of exercise has made the biggest difference for your energy and sleep?

I’m the same way—moving my body resets my mind better than anything. I started following a calisthenics program from BetterMe https://betterme.world/articles/... , and the clear workout plan with progressions made it easy to stay consistent. It helped me build strength, improve energy, and feel more refreshed for the next day.
