Tim Ferriss Habits for Optimal Living and Productivity

Quickly straighten bedding to create visual order, using a 'sweep-under-blanket' approach rather than hotel-style precision. Establishes early accomplishment and reduces visual distractions in workspaces.

20-minute mantra-based meditation session using techniques like TM or Headspace, sometimes substituted with mobility exercises. Includes 2-minute decompression period post-session.

Structured journaling focusing on daily priorities and appreciation using prompts. Alternates with free-form 'Morning Pages' for problem-solving different cognitive needs.

Consumes KetoForce or Brain Octane Oil upon waking to induce ketosis. Paired with occasional slow-carb breakfasts when muscle gain is prioritized.

5-minute high-intensity kettlebell sessions 3x weekly. Focuses on explosive hip hinges rather than maximum weight lifting.

Combines yoga, acrobatics, and Thai massage in 2x weekly sessions. Focuses on body awareness and reciprocal trust-building.

Restricts daily to-do list to 2 mission-critical items. All other tasks must be delegated, automated, or eliminated entirely.

Systematically eliminates tasks before considering automation solutions. Only delegates what can't be automated.

Alternates ketogenic mornings with slow-carb lunches depending on training goals. Uses lentils and spinach for muscle gain phases.

Consumes apple with almond butter or celery with nut butter before bed. Avoids hypoglycemic crashes disrupting sleep quality.

Exclusively reads fiction before sleep. Avoids non-fiction to prevent problem-solving mindset activation.

Evening soak with Epsom salts and essential oils like lavender. Incorporates contrast hydrotherapy with cold water immersion cycles.

Strict no-phone/computer policy for 60 minutes post-waking. Uses physical journals and analog tools during this period.

Writes 3-5 anxiety-provoking tasks each morning. Asks if completing just one would make the day successful.

Brews pu-erh/green tea blend with turmeric and ginger. Uses precise 85\u00b0C water temperature for optimal extraction.

5-10 pushups with ring turnouts upon waking. Activates nervous system through compound movement patterns.

Never answers unrecognized numbers. Requires voicemail screening before callback consideration.

Avoids email first 90 minutes after waking and last 60 minutes before bed. Processes in scheduled batches only.

24-hour phone/email disconnect once weekly. Physical separation from devices during this period.

Schedules non-negotiable relationship/fun activities as calendar blocks. Treats them with equal priority as business meetings.
