Never enough sleep.

It makes your consciousness smaller.
It dulls your senses.
It mangles your mood and life outlook.

2. Pre-commit to avoid bad foods.
3. Plan out what you’ll eat.
4. Identify when you’ll go to bed.
5. Write out the specific behaviors that get you and make a plan to not fall into the same trap.

You know you feel best when minding your health.
And feel shitty when you don’t.

Be ahead of the curve.
Earn your own self respect.
And feel great.
