I am on an adventure to find ways to slow down the ageing process. I think I am winning. I am half a century older than my young daughter, so I must find the fountain of youth. Email benbuttonadventures@gmail.com
An early start does not automatically create a productive day. More hours awake can create the feeling you should achieve more, even when the body has already done enough.
Low energy days don’t come from one bad habit. They come from stacking small drains: short sleep, long work, late caffeine, no recovery. The body keeps the score even when discipline continues.
Woke up at 07:30 Sleep roughly 6 hours No meditation Fasted until 17:30 Not a running day No physical training Full work day, difficult Energy very low, needed another coffee Hardest moment: staying awake in the evening First meal at 17:30 Took Whole Food Nutrition Supplement at 17:30 Went to bed early at 21:30
Structure carried the day more than motivation. Even with medium energy and tiredness in the evening, the routine still held. The weak point appeared when stimulation faded — coffee solved the morning but created a gap later. Energy borrowed early must always be repaid later.
