There’s nothing wrong with listening to your body! Someone once commented something to the effect of “if you work with your mind, relax physically, and if you work with your body, relax mentally”, and I’ve been trying to implement that change. Maybe something similar for you (sports/cardio/weights/taking a walk around the neighborhood) might work.

The problem with extracting the maximum amount of mental energy from each day is that you might drain more energy than you can feasibly regenerate from a limited amount of rest per day.

Otherwise, my advice probably is to kill distractions, and block out time in your schedule for projects, and plan the details before you start to actually implement stuff, it might save you a good amount of time while implementing the project.

Also, sleep better if you’re not getting enough, people who sleep long enough can maintain a train of thought with much greater ease than who are sleep deprived. Sleep deprived people don’t even realize that they’re losing focus.

I should look more into physical relaxation I guess. I'm getting maybe just around 6 hours of sleep a day.
