Over the years in the startup world, I've realized there are just a few very fundamental things that I (personally) need to do to keep going. Especially in such an exciting / stressful / uncertain ecosystem, year after year. I suspect others have this too:

- Eat well - Sleep well - Sports (both individual and team)

If I do these things more often than not, odds are that I'll be productive, have good ideas, be able to execute on them and be generally happy. It takes discipline, but I could never go back to not doing these.

Thanks to the author for a really vibrant piece, I'm sure he'll be back on his feet.
