I think that what is important is to give time for your body everyday to recover from the food intake (which can be an inflammatory insult) and give it time to repair. Maybe some people may reach ketosis in 8h, which is an injury itself. It is like the need to sleep and the need to rest after exercise or the need for vacation after long work days. Every insult needs to be compensated for and repaired.

Also the idea of having to eat 3 meals a day, does not exist in nature or in our past history. This developed with industrilization when hard working men needed energy at work. But it is clear that evolution never needed to limit excessive food intake. It mainly dealt with famines and low food intake. We never aquired the necessary breaks to stop eating. we need to keep this in our thoughts daily to actively stop ourselves from eating till our death

Anyways, I stopped looking at it, and I only use it for the looks and to show me notifications.

I got my pcb sample, 5 pcbs + assembly (had to make sure all components are in their library) How many days ? including shipping 6 days from order to delivery!!! cost ~250$ They are unbeatable!!

I think proscratination is because we use a high power gear too frequently, we are exhausted mentally, and it is too painful. so we say let's do it later. But what if you have a small task that does not need a lot of thinking to do? something not painful? Well this is easy. I can do it. The trick is, it needs to be easy. you should not waste 1 hour to set up your environment to be able to start. it has to be easy.

So to advance on a project, I need to make sure I always have low energy, easy tasks ready for me when i am not in my mental capacity to use my high power thinking.

It is as if I am 2 persons. a developer and an intern. you need to make sure there is enough easy tasks for the intern to work on. You have to accept this about youreself

Dont waste days planning and creating issues for youreself. This is too draining. you need to write the big plan only and make sure you have few tasks ready. not all of them defined from day 0. do a big planning every 2 to 3 weeks (looks similar to a sprint)

It is all about conserving your mental energy

What did I do?? I did not take vacations or time out. I just changed companies, and made sure the job has variety, and a lot of customers, and asked for a good raise. All the symptoms disappeared after 1 day. Like magic.

I feel I am more respected and more critical in their team. If there are no customers, and they pay you a little, you feel worthless, and treated as a second class dev. Start looking outside, you may find a good opportunity
