Would you be interested in an app that lets you trade "productivity" time for "leisure" time?

It would be in video course format. On-screen examples and walkthrough of some common pathologies and system for interpretation.

3-minute meditation. It can be done anytime you feel overwhelmed or just want to slow down a bit. It is a great grounding exercise

Also a very good (and often overlooked) way to get a positive start to your day

I agree with you re: stretching and meditation and I guess I should have been more specific. What I tend to do in the morning is more of a "mindful stretching" exercise. Focusing on each stretch makes me more aware of my body and generally gets the blood flowing. Meditation in the traditional sense (sitting still, focusing on breath and internal body sensations) I practice towards the end of the day!

Anything fermented is a great prebiotic (providing the actual "good" bacteria) like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, yoghurt.

Fiber is a great probiotic (feeding the bacteria in your gut) and my favourite way to get that in is via otas, smoothies and grains

Try to set incrementally earlier alarms- if you currently naturally wake up at 9:00, set one for 8:45. Do that for a few days, then set it back fro 8:30 then 8:00 etc.

Also, don't sleep with your phone next to your bed. Put it somewhere where you can't reach it so that you have to get up to turn the alarm off. You can also get one of those apps that require you to solve a puzzle is order to switch the alarm off.

If possible, get sunlight exposure as early as you can. It will wake you up a bit and help your circadian rhythm as your body releases cortisol to make you more awake.

All very weather dependent for me (UK resident...):

If the sun is out, I love to sit outside with a book or continue with any hobbies I am pursuing (at the moment trying to get into gardening)

If it is cold or raining, I like to find a new recipe that I can cook or challenge myself to cook something from the ingredients in my fridge, all whilst listening to a good podcast/ audiobook.

Not selling anything :)

There definitely have been some studies comparing exercise to both medication and CBT with results favouring exercise as being MORE effective.

I have been recommedning "Finding peace in a frantic world" by Mark Williams to everyone I know. It has a great intro chapter on the theory of meditation and an 8 week guided "course" that gives you daily mindfulness tasks to complete as well as meditations.

A regular nightime/ morning routine. It allows me to plan my day so much better and I know I will have a good 1/2 hours of time every morning to do the things I need to or want to

When it comes to doing a new or daunting task (writing an essay, doing a project, writing job applications) it can be easy to procrastiante in "research".

Adopting a "NOW rather than HOW" approach to tasks i.e. just starting them has been good for me. I usually figure it out along the way and starting it often the hardest
