I make a blended tea with YerbaMate and then some Oolong added. It is like a tea ceremony with brewing the Mate in Knudsons Bottles part full and then brewing Oolong and pouring that strained tea ontop. Oolong is dry fermented and has similar anti-oxident profile as green tea with different active anti-oxidents. They are both higher in l-Theanine than most teas, which mellows the caffeine some. Mate is high in minerals and vitamins too. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I like to sip sweetened tea through out the daytime. I use old glass tea bottles to hold it as I go about my day. I am now down to a hemaglobin A1C of 5.9% and have been below 7% for 20 years now. Recent drop is I've been using a sensor on my arm and get my # on my phone and a dedicated reader. After my tea and reading some news I pack up my provisions for my day. I don't like getting beverage or food except for sit down shared meals.

For you I'd suggest getting up at a consistent time and do the typical prework stuff and get fed, cleaned up and dressed for your day. Also you should initiate a fitness program, nothing crazy but either start with stretching or if already active do home based excersizes. It is very important to be able to stay in shape without having to go anywhere that way you can just keep up with it with nothing getting in the way. Split up and do one set mon, wed, fri, do other in between. It's ok to have a full day off, and don't forget 2 or 3 days with something that gets your heart and lungs working. Good luck, the key to handling this is structure, but also keep mental health and don't make it a grind unless you're desperate. Use some of the time to do fun stuff, socialize (do not drink!!) and explore opportunities and interests. '
