I am an internet entrepenuer myself. Your stories and style of writing hit true to my heart and have given me strength to follow your strategies. I have now made your website my home page. Thank you!

Have you ever read “The Power of Full Engagement”?  Some of your ideas seem to fit very well with that book – even the 4 categories it uses, I believe.

Start off with 15 minutes. Do 20 pushups 5 times a day. That will take 8 minutes of your day and it will spread out so it won’t brutalize you too much. Build up from that. Stretching is good also. Get into a stretch and stay there while breathing deeply. Breathe ten times deeply. Look at yoga books to see different types of stretches. 

In terms of sleep: figure out why you can’t sleep. Its really important. Don’t sleep next to your computer. Make sure digestion is ok at night. And medicate if you have to until your sleep schedule is better.

Now, with those extra hours, I hope you are making good use of them: build out the idea muscles. Spend some time developing some sort of spiritual practice (any spiritual practice, it doesn’t matter what). Read. etc.

You don’t have to do a lot. Just making sure you check the box on each item each day. Then you can build into however disciplined you want to be. 

Btw, Constantin, I’m glad you like these various posts.

I can’t even express enough how much this approach has worked for me throughout my life. And when I let it slip, then everything slips.
