Sometimes time = energy

I’ve been struggling to find time to blog recently… at least that’s what I’ve been telling myself. Turns out what I’ve really been lacking is energy. I’ve had the time to write, but whenever a slot opened up in my day I would whittle away the time on a number of distractions instead of digging in and writing something.

I’ve recently had a surge of energy and I’m hoping it sticks around. How am I going to do that? Here’s my short list:

1. Get adequate sleep, 8 hours, every night
2. Avoid insulin spikes (aka, anything heavily processed, sugary, or starchy)
3. Get exercise
4. Don’t overdo the exercise
5. Go outside
6. Have some fun, play some games
7. Stay connected with friends
