Episode notes
Rhythm Over Raw Energy
- You don't have an energy problem, you have a rhythm problem that stems from misaligned biology and behavior.
- Deep work requires single-task immersion because the brain switches tasks instead of multitasking.
Work With Your Biological Cycles
- Align work with circadian and ultradian rhythms by scheduling important work during cognitive prime and using 90-minute focus blocks.
- After 90 minutes, take a 15-minute recovery to reset attention and neurotransmitters.
Treat Sleep As Performance Prep
- Prioritize seven to eight hours of sleep and treat sleep as the brain's maintenance window for memory and neurotransmitter reset.
- Turn off screens an hour before bed and consider magnesium glycinate or glycine to support restorative sleep.
