Hmm, finally some tricks that I could actually see myself use! Especially the healthy intellectual “snacks”. I mean I can get stuck on HN for a long time, but to be honest I could also do a course that just requires me to listen and eat a (physical) snack or something.

I'm still hoping that a some point this leads to a control over the states, but maybe I should give up that dream :)

"I also made so many mistakes that the next day I often spent hours finding and fixing them." Reminds me of what Rocky says to Grace (in the Hail Mary Project): "Sleep first, humans turn stupid without sleep." It's better to recognize it and surrender to it.
