I meditate, prepare coffee and start reviewing memories created the previous day in my noteking app so as to confirm that these will be the items on which I will be focusing this day.
Cold shower for energy and dopamine release. Andrew Huberman explained well how it works.
Daily ritual when I capture

2. What obstacles I faced and what did I do about it
3. Set a daily goal
