Recently, I’ve been obsessed with three things.
1. My sleep. My hours were all screwed up, I couldn’t get out of bed, and I always felt groggy. I bought a Lark and have been using it every night for the past two weeks. It’s cool to have all this data about your sleep but the coolest part is that it analyzes the data and finds subtle patterns in your sleep (IG: I wake up 50% more times per night when I go to bed passed 4AM - probably due to caffeine or alcohol.) I was labeled as a “Rookie-Erratic sleeper;” I don’t sleep well and sleep at unpredictable times. The App gives me advice on how to sleep more productively and get on a consistent schedule. I can control when I go to bed but not when I wake up.
2. Day One. Day One is a basically a twitter-diary for yourself. It’s a lightweight journal app on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Everyday at 10PM I am prompted to write about my day. I have done this everyday for the past month. It’s amazing to look back at my thoughts from a month ago, imagine a year from now! Highly recommended download.
3. Done. What did I do today? Instead of making a ToDo list, I have a Done list. I get an email everyday at 6PM asking what I did today. If I did nothing, I go do something. My goal is to learn, create, or complete something new everyday; whether that’s watching a Yale lecture on astrophysics or creating a new piece of art. A routine is key for your future-self (watch this TED talk,) and I’m trying to create a routine for myself.
