1. Get enough sleep each and every night. Burning the midnight oil isn't good for your body.

2. How is your diet? Fast food, junk, might contribute to feeling sluggish. Drink enough water each day. Maybe some green tea.

3. Exercise! Make time for it.

4. Make a list for the next day of things you NEED to accomplish.

For me, I have found that eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep have done wonders for my energy, mental clarity and goals! I get up every day, drink some tea and then look at my list of tasks I MUST accomplish that day. This helps me hit the ground running.

I used to have an overnight job, 10pm - 8am and it killed my ability to do much of anything else. You are up all night while others are sleeping, then you get home and you need sleep. If you sleep to much then you can't run errands or even get much of anything done before you need to think about going back for the next 10pm - 8am shift. Stopping working this job was huge for me.




I'm actually trying to quit the third shift position, but they are begging me to stay with raises and weekend only work. I'm so tempted to because it would provide enough money for luxury or fallback if I can't make rent one month.


More money is always tempting.

Are you really working 3 jobs and not able to guarantee making rent? I can't imagine what that must feel like.


Really crazy hours. Sometimes, I'll get in a lot of hours and make plenty of money, other weeks I'll get nothing.
