if you ever found something that's easy to do but made a huge difference in productivity or health, please reply or quote post people sit on so many life changing secrets that are obvious in hindsight but never shared

that said some share too early - most habits i attribute productivity end after a month and turns out it had no impact. only post things you have done habitually for over a year - most things don't work

some of mine:

for us morons that can never do anything that takes less than 5 minutes immediately because we are lazy and have adhd so it will take at least 2h, write up all small things and then batch them all on saturday, ruthlessly ignore all responsibility until then

read this btw you'll be so much better off

post about unhappiness and how to unhappiness is an addiction you need more of

this one is incredible: if you want to get anything done just tell someone who cares about money "hey i have to pay you x if i don't do it" and i swear you will

stopping all stimulants like caffeine for 2 weeks might make you feel 10x better - please try if you never did to make sure

@GabrielPeterss4 If you are trying to learn something by reading a book and don’t understand it, just reread the entire chapter. If you still don’t get it just keep rereading it over and over. It WILL click. Might take 3 rereads, might take 5, or even more. I learned this because in college I

@GabrielPeterss4 no artificial dopamine for the first hour of waking. If you have brain fog, it’s probably because you scroll when you wake up

@GabrielPeterss4 Setting up color filters to make my phone screen fully red and linking it to a home screen button or triple-button click. Have been using it for 10 years and i can't imagine trying to sleep without it.

@GabrielPeterss4 -Turbinate reduction surgery to breath better (will increase airflow 2-3x forever) - nasal strips at night - meal prep service or chef (this doesn’t have to be expensive and sometimes cheaper than groceries) - workout 6x a week (this will have an impact stronger than

@GabrielPeterss4 give yourself the same compassion and care you would give to a newborn kid. because all of the coping mechanisms, vices and addictions you have are reinforced by the underlying shame and guilt you place on yourself everyday.

@GabrielPeterss4 Learn to read upside down. Incredibly useful in many situations to be able to read what the person across from you is holding/reading/writing

@GabrielPeterss4 the key to hydration is using a water bottle with a straw top. removing and replacing a cap prevents habituation and causes enough friction to inhibit small sips between tasks. straw top water bottle is the answer to better skin, better digestion, weight loss, etc. and yet no one

@GabrielPeterss4 @hnshah Vegetarian, then vegan, then fruitarian. Made the most significant impact on the development of Me as a person and coincided with an influx of maturity and understanding about the nature of life and its evolution.

@GabrielPeterss4 SQUAT EVERYDAY

@GabrielPeterss4 - when in need of instant focus boost, narrow your focus with your eyes like you are looking at something in close range - when starting a creative task, assume 5-10 mins to get started, it takes time to ramp up - ultimate adhd started for super boring tasks -> set a 10min timer

@GabrielPeterss4 A little help, nothing worth while is easy, you must grow up at some point in life.

@GabrielPeterss4 Not exactly easy solving L5/S1 disc herniation is a massive QOL improvement. So many people affected and nobody tells you how to navigate it. Took me a full year of research, doctors, therapists, exercises, etc., since I wanted to avoid surgery (dreadful track record), and since

@GabrielPeterss4 If you struggle with a bad habit like compulsive or stress eating or anything else and can't stop, distract yourself with another activity when the urge strikes. Over time, your brain will push the habit aside and forget it.

@GabrielPeterss4 Tmuxinator to quickly get you running and atuin

@GabrielPeterss4 The chiropractor industry is a huge scam. They injure people and get away with it.

@GabrielPeterss4 I recommend training to learn how to use your brain in a parallel/integrated manner. As I shared with you past, the CAISC framework connects many parts of the brain and reduces communication delays. This improves thinking speed and allows you to develop broader and deeper

@GabrielPeterss4 - if it's less than five minutes, do it now - everything can be divided into less than five minutes chunks - i spam a bunch of supplements: multivitamins, vitamin D, omega fish oil, creatine + protein for gym

@GabrielPeterss4 Sleep interventions, roughly in order of cost/accessibility/neuroticism (example brand / rationale in parentheses): - Automated phone shortcuts for light filtering (e.g., night shift + grayscale at 8 pm) - Work out in morning vs evening (align cortisol spike with natural peak) -

@GabrielPeterss4 Had chronic lower back pain for about a decade treating it with painkillers and chiropractors until one day the chiropractor told me to sit on a yoga ball instead of an office chair and my back never bothered me again outside of acute reinjury.

@GabrielPeterss4 @grok give me 10 easy to do things that are good for productivity and heath

@GabrielPeterss4 Dry brushing for a couple minutes before bathing tightens & softens the skin like nothing else & over time you feel better generally, it boosts your lymphatic system. It can help tighten loose skin after losing weight. It’s a great long term habit to adopt, there are protocols

@GabrielPeterss4 Most productivity hacks are gay and lame. Wake up, slam stimulants, work for 12 hours and hit the gym. Repeat until gazillionaire and jacked.

@GabrielPeterss4 Cuz nobody fuckin cares.

@GabrielPeterss4 I deleted all social media except for X & YT. For YT I turned off my history, it won’t recommend videos and I can’t watch Shorts. For X, I disabled “auto load images” so it’s less attractive - My screen time has reduced significantly!

@GabrielPeterss4 If you have Type 1 Diabetes and use needles not an insulin pump - get the pump! My son went from blood sugar level always over 10 to maintaining 5 - what a 'normal' human has. Particularly good at regulating your levels overnight

@GabrielPeterss4 There's really no such thing since it's super individualistic and one small approach can't be taken confidently without knowing about your blood work / genome report. If i had to say 4 things, Multi-vitamin, fish oil, choline, melatonin. The specific brand and formula matters

@GabrielPeterss4 hot take: if you don’t feel like doing something, don’t. especially if you’ve got adhd. forcing it just burns cycles and builds guilt. i see too many people swimming upstream, chasing neurotypical expectations, grinding on stuff that doesn’t matter or won’t stick. personally, if

@GabrielPeterss4 Ask myself repeatedly throughout the day whether I’m acting out of fear or love. When aligned with love my life improves. Service to others vs service to self as a baseline framework and magically everything gets better.
