- do not speak to anybody for the first hour of the day
- go for a long walk in nature (maybe it’s better to just walk to work even if it’s far away?)
- read a book, write, prayer, or just make some photos
- keep your phone on do not disturb or airplane mode
- quit social media, news, etc. just don’t consume anything from the modern world?
Also, if you work a job that allows you to listen to something passively while working, I highly suggest educational podcast or lectures. I joined the Peterson Academy (currently in beta) and I highly recommend it. I have no idea why anyone would spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on education when you can access some of the best lectures, and are always being updated every month, for $500 a year… I’m currently taking the course on the art of storytelling.
