First Things First: Stop Being a Potato!
Seriously, get off that couch. I know, I know, your phone is calling you, and Netflix is whispering sweet nothings, but we gotta break those habits.
- Step 1: The 5-Minute Rule.
- Okay, so you're dreading doing something? Tell yourself you'll only do it for 5 minutes. Set a timer. If you still hate it after 5 minutes, fine, stop. But you'll probably keep going because, like, inertia, man.
- Step 2: Morning Power-Up.
- Don't hit snooze a million times. Set your alarm for the same time every day, even on weekends. Yeah, I said it.
- As soon as you wake up, drink a glass of water. Boom! Hydration.
- Do like, 10 push-ups or something. Just move! Doesn't matter if they are bad push ups, just do them.
- Write down 3 things you're grateful for. Even if it's just "my bed is comfy." It works.
Level Up Your Brain (Because Your Brain is a Supercomputer, Dude!)
Okay, so you're moving, now let's get your brain working.

- YouTube is your friend (for learning, not just cat videos). Learn a new skill, like coding, drawing, or playing an instrument.
- Duolingo! Learn a language. It's actually kinda fun.
- Look up a random “how to” video. How to solve a rubix cube, how to change a tire, how to make a sandwhich that looks like a dragon.
- Step 5: Question Everything!
- Don't just accept what people tell you. Do your own research.
