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? 😅

That doesn’t break my spirit. I fucking hate novelty and am perfectly content — thrive even — on repetition.

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. :)
