Especially if you have kids and work all day

There was an option to not feel tired everyday???
A good diet and making time for exercise are huge.

kiss carbs goodbye and you’ll have energy all day
Ha ha ha ha. Ha. There’s no ‘not feel tired’ when you have kids.

Sleep enough. Check for any deficiencies, especially Vitamin D when you live somewhere in the northern hemisphere
That’s the funny thing, you don’t
coffee and cope
First thing out of bed, hydrate. Then I’m eating, then I’m showering, etc, but for me on 600ml water.
a short while later, I’m starting the caffeine cycle, but I try to do 1:1 coffee and water, same volume. Ideally, to keep the hydration going.
Some days nothing’s gonna help, and I have the RedBull on sinful standby. I raise the desk, move about to keep the blood flowing, and bop to the music in the hopes the blood flowing will bring me out of an all-day stupor.
to the people reading: for most people unless your sense of hydration is deficient, often due to age, just drink when you’re thirsty. fixing chronic fatigue has no one simple answer, it’s a symptom with lots of possible causes.
Much hustle. Wow.
I don’t have kids but I do generally work all day.

Excersice. I know, it sounds trite. But working out has helped me sleep more soundly despite getting less sleep. I have a few weights in my basement and when my kid is sleeping, I go downstairs and lift heavily. Especially leg workouts, your legs are a huge portion of your body and getting those muscles working is great. It usually takes me ~20 minutes to workup a sweat. Before I had a child I used to try cardio for longer periods of time. But I am more satisfied with short, difficult strength workouts.
I get adequate sleep. A society that doesn’t let you is a society that is trying too hard.
I’ve always had insomnia but the child in my life really screws up my ability to get sleep
Oops thought you were referring to your inner child who didn’t want to get to sleep.
I wish! But how can you sleep when there’s so much you can do!
So much time for activities!
I can’t imagine not prioritizing sleep over those things.
DRUGS!
I mean Caffine lol
Caffine is soooo good
Green tea is good for the caffeine boost without the jitters you get with coffee. Less acidic too, so it’s easier to drink loads of it.
Since you mentioned it cold brew coffee is less acidic vs hot coffee and I think(?) less than hot tea as well.
OTOH cold brewed tea probably edges out all of them in terms of low acidity.
Not too sure if you meant hot or cold tea, just adding some extra info :) For me cold brew coffee is way, way easier to drink and it’s become my daily go-to.
Preworkout. 2 scoops and I am fucking unstoppable. Also insufferable, and slightly manic but shit gets done!
Maybe you should do a sleep study.
signed up for one but its a while from now sadly…
Monitor caffeine and sleep amount. I’ve also heard good things from removing the number of decisions you take each day.
Also decisions that are avoided are basically the same as an endless stream of decisions in terms of fatigue.
edit: avoided as in delayed. Avoiding them by eliminating them is fine
Sleep a lot and being indecisive. I can see that working for myself, thanks.
Not indecisive, being more decisive or develop weekly schedules. More like wake up, shower, brush teeth, feed kids the monday menu instead of deciding what they are going to eat then if you’re going to finish food first or shower first.
That’s just theory though, I personally work well with a bulk decide then bulk execute strategy. I also take always the top shirt on a stack and whatnot. I have the same at work where I outline what I’ll do in which order and then I just do that.
Works for me, got the advice from elsewhere and have nothing else to support this claim.
I hear you, and yes I operate the same. But I feel what breaks people’s spirits is exactly that same routine, everyday, for the rest of our lives… any advice with that? 😅
I got a good one, pick up a random hobby for one day of the week and switch it up every now and then. Yoga, running and pottery are really fun. Any artsy thing is also fun when you leave the ego at the door.
Learning new stuff and meeting new people that share similar interests is a great way to break out of the routine and gets some nice skill progression at the same time.
If you want a quick fix then go find the nearest place where you can walk in nature without hearing cars, bring one person and walk for an hour. :)
That doesn’t break my spirit. I fucking hate novelty and am perfectly content — thrive even — on repetition.
